You need to provide the "value" and "onSubmit "attributes in the tag, otherwise the listener won't fire. the "onsubmit" informs the servlet that the form is to be submitted. As a result the JSF lifecycle is activated and all datavalues that are set during the "Apply Request Values"
phase will check for listeners and fire them if they exist. As you've not defined the "value" attribute in the tag the listener is not fired
