ValueChangeListener in JSF

[Ralph Hoch]

Hi,

Currently I'm trying to create dynamically several components (HtmlSelectOneMenu) and display them. This part is working fine. But now I'm trying to add a ValueChangeListener to each of those components but somehow this listener does not get called. I tried several things (including a class that implements the ValueChangeListener interface) but it is still not working.

       
public class UIMappingCreatorBean implements ValueChangeListener {

.....

        HtmlSelectOneMenu classMenu = new HtmlSelectOneMenu();
        classMenu.setId(UIMappingCreatorBean.CLASS_PREFIX + currentID);
        
        
        
        classList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
        for (int i = 0; i < classValueList.length; i++) {
            classList.add(new SelectItem(classValueList[i], classValueList[i]));
        }
        UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
        items.setValue(classList);
        
        classMenu.getChildren().add(items);
        classMenu.setRendered(true);

        
        classMenu.addValueChangeListener(this);
.....


	@Override
	public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event)
			throws AbortProcessingException {
    	      System.out.println("Function called");
	} 

So far this is what I got but somehow the processValueChange-Function does not get called. I read that you have to submit the form first and after that you get the valueChangeEvent but also this doesn't seem to work.

Does someone have an idea? I'm actually trying to get the event when the value is changed (don't want to submit the form) and I'm using richfaces and ajax (but this is the next step).

EDIT:
ok it seems to be the h:head attribute that causes the problem. So my question is: Does someone have an idea on how you can set AjaxBehavior on a dynamically created component?

Thanks...
