Question

I have a f:ajax with onevent="checkStatus" with the following implementation:

function checkStatus(event){
    if (event.status == "begin") {
        console.log("ajax begin");
    }  else if (event.status == "success") {
        console.log("ajax success");
    }
}

The f:ajax definition is (simplified):

<f:ajax event='click' onevent='checkStatus` listener="#{mrBean.handler}"/>

The ‘begin’ event doesn’t fire ever.
Any Idea?

P.S The success event does fire.

Thanks!

This is a known bug in MyFaces 2.0.5: MYFACES-3080

You can fix this by patching the jsf.js as stated in the issue comments or wait for 2.0.6 to be released.
