[RF4.2.3.Final] no onchange event firing for rich:pickList

[jpadula35]

Hi,

The onchange event is not firing for the rich:picklist. My updatePickListSelection() listener is never getting called. Does this have to be set up differently?

<rich:pickList value="#{FilterPortletBean.pickListResult}" listHeight="150px" listWidth="150px"

                                                            copyAllControlLabel="#{filter_msgs['filters.modal.edit.picklist.copyAll']}"

                                                            copyControlLabel="#{filter_msgs['filters.modal.edit.picklist.copy']}"

                                                            removeControlLabel="#{filter_msgs['filters.modal.edit.picklist.remove']}"

                                                            removeAllControlLabel="#{filter_msgs['filters.modal.edit.picklist.removeAll']}"

                                                            converter="#{FilterPortletBean.pickListConverter}"

                                                            disabled="#{isEditor == false}">

                                                            <f:selectItems value="#{FilterPortletBean.leftPickList}" />

                                                            <a4j:ajax event="change"

                                                                      listener="#{FilterPortletBean.updatePickListSelection}"

                                                                      render="updateFilterButton" />

</rich:pickList>

Listener:

public void updatePickListSelection() {

                    logger.info("updatePickListSelection() entered");

          }

Also the onsourcekeypress event is listed in the VDL, but when I tried this I get an error.

<a4j:ajax event="sourcekeypress"

I get this error in Chrome:

/filterEdit.xhtml @210,38 <a4j:ajax> sourcekeypressevent is not supported for the UIPickList

The VDL lists both of these. It appears either the VDL is incorrect or there is bug in RichFaces 4.2.3.Final.

http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/4.2.X/4.2.2.Final/vdldoc/

I'm in process of upgrading to RF4, and we relied on the old onlistchanged event, which no longer exists. I had though onchange would work.

Is there a workaround for this? I need to get an event from the picklist when something is removed or added to/from the target list.

Please let me know if I should write a JIRA.

Environment:

RichFaces4.2.3.Final

GateIn3.4.0.Final

PortletBridge3.1.0.Beta3

JSF 2.1.13

Spring 3.1.12

Thanks for your help.
