Question

I m trying call method bean when an item is selected in combo (rich: select) as follow:

    <rich:select id="combo"
        value="#{bean.code}"
        valueChangeListener="#{bean.productChanged}"
        immediate="true" required="true">
        <a4j:ajax event="change" render="callConflict"
            oncomplete="javascript:showConflict();" />
        <f:selectItems
            value="#{bean.products}" />
        <f:attribute name="attributeName"
            value="#{bean.attribute}" />
    </rich:select>

But this code, the method in the bean is only called when the item is changed AND WHEN THE COMBO LOSES FOCUS

As should be done to invoke the method on the bean after changing the product without having to wait for combo loses focus?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are several ways to solve your problem. One of them, is removing the focus from your component

onlistclick = "x.blur()"

or

onlistclick = "window.blur()"

Yeah, this could work, but I guess it is not the best solution.

Another (better) way is to use:

<a4j:ajax event="selectitem" render="xxx"/>

Remember that: the event tag may be case senstive. For me, event = “selectItem” does not work (only “selectitem”).
