primefaces calender not invoking valuechangelistener

Question

here is the code snipprt

<p:calendar 
    id="from" 
    value="#{documentInsertController.from}"
    yearRange="1900:2015"
    pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"
    mindate="#{documentInsertController.today}"
    valueChangeListener="#{documentInsertController.calenderChangeListener}"
>
    <p:ajax event="change" partialSubmit="from" render="to"/>
</p:calendar>

This is the actionlister method in bean class

public void calenderChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent e) {    
    System.out.println("Calender Change Listener Invoked: " + e.getNewValue());
}

I want to know what is missing and why it is not invoking the action method?

Answer 1

You can try <p:ajax event="dateSelect"

Like this (I removed the partialSubmit="from" and instead of render changed into update because its p:ajax and not f:ajax

<p:ajax event="dateSelect"  
        listener="#{documentInsertController.calenderChangeListener}" 
        update="to"/>

Also change your method signature into:

public void calenderChangeListener(SelectEvent event) {
    Date date = event.getDate();
    System.out.println("File Date: " + date);
    System.out.println("Hello... I am in DateChange");
}
