"h:selectOneMenu" with Ajax4JSF passing selection to backing bean on the "fly"

[Ravi Sathish]

I'm a JSF newbie

I have a form with a dropdown; I want to pass my selection on the "fly" to the backing bean by using Ajax4JSF;

Unfortunately I'm not able to able to pass on the "fly"; However form submit seems to work

Here's my code snippet:

  
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
.....
 
SRB DataTransferScheme *
<h:selectOneMenu id="dataTransferCombobox" value="#{loginBean.dataTransferScheme}"
<a4j:support event="onchange" action="#{loginBean.setAuthFields(loginBean.dataTransferScheme)}"
ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:panelGrid>
.....
 
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{login.login}"/>
</h:form>
 
//LoginBean.java: [the Backing bean]
 
public void setAuthFields(String dataTransferScheme)
{
        System.out.println("dataTransferScheme : "+dataTransferScheme);
}
 

I appreciate any suggestions, feedback

TIA
Ravi
