Ajax Listener is invoked before the Render Response phase. Instead of Action Listener of Value Change Listener which are not invoked when Validation of Update Model phases failed, Ajax Listener is guarantied to be invoked for each Ajax response. Hence, it is a good place to update the list of re-rendered components, for example. </p> <p> Ajax Listener is not invoked for a non-Ajax request and when RichFaces works in "Ajax Request generates Non-Ajax Response" mode. Therefore, Ajax Listener invocation is a good indicator that Ajax response is going to be processed. </p> <p> <b>type</b> attribute defines the fully qualified Java class name for listener. This class should implement org.ajax4jsf.events.AjaxListener interface. You can access to the source of the event (Ajax component) using event.getSource() call. </p> </ui:define> </ui:composition> </html>
