Primefaces valueChangeListener or <p:ajax listener not firing for p:selectOneMenu [duplicate]

Answer 1

Another solution is to mix valueChangeListener, ajax and process:

<p:selectManyCheckbox id="employees" value="#{employees}" columns="1" layout="grid" valueChangeListener="#{mybean.fireSelection}"   >
    <f:selectItems var="employee" value="#{employeesSI}" />
    <p:ajax event="valueChange" immediate="true" process="@this"/>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>

Method in mybean is just :

public void fireSelection(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    log.debug("New: "+event.getNewValue()+", Old: "+event.getOldValue());
}

Like this, valueChangeEvent is very light !

PS: Works fine with PrimeFaces 5.0

Answer 2

Try using p:ajax with event attribute,
