I'm using rich:calendar being coupled with an entity's field of type java.util.Date. This field is annotated with @Past of Hibernate Validator. So far everything is working fine.

Now I want to use the new <rich:ajaxValidator>, but had no success in catching the event when a date is selected. Any hint is appreciated!

This is my code fragment:

<h:outputLabel value="#{i18n['createEinenKunden.seit']}" for="seit"/>
<rich:calendar id="seit"
 showInput="true"
 datePattern="#{i18n['calendar.pattern']}"
 value="#{kv.neuerFirmenkunde.seit}">
 <rich:ajaxValidator event="onchange" reRender="seit, fehlermeldungSeit"/>
</rich:calendar>
<rich:message id="fehlermeldungSeit" for="seit" errorClass="error">
 <f:facet name="errorMarker">
 <h:graphicImage url="/images/error.gif"/>
 </f:facet>
</rich:message>
