        <title>Description</title>
        <para>
            The <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:calendar&gt;</property></emphasis> date selected event is fired before input update.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <property>time</property> and <property>apply</property> elements are added to the calendar, 
            <emphasis><property>&quot;ondateselected&quot;</property></emphasis> gets fired when a date is selected but before it&apos;s updated in input. 
            Now we have three events instead of one. But it causes compatibility problem because this event was used by customers to save selected value via Ajax.

        <para>
            The described above problem occurs when  <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;a4j:support&gt;</property></emphasis>is put inside <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:calendar&gt;</property></emphasis>. 
            If the <emphasis><property>&quot;event&quot;</property></emphasis> property is set to &quot;ondateselected&quot; 
            previous value of the <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:calendar&gt;</property></emphasis> is stored after selection.

            You need  <emphasis><property>&quot;onchanged&quot;</property></emphasis> event to be fired after any change which causes input to be updated, both date and time.
