JSF actionListener Tag

This tag is used to add a action listener to the component associated with the enclosing tag. When user does an event on the component then this action takes place. The class where this action is defined implements ActionListener interface. In this example this class is "MyBean.java" in roseindia package. Within this class a method processAction() is written, where we write our logic of action.

Code Description :

<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>

<h:commandButton id="button1" value="Click">
<f:actionListener type="roseindia.MyBean" />
</h:commandButton>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>

package roseindia;

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.faces.event.*;

public class MyBean implements ActionListener,ValueChangeListener{
String som = "";
private Date today = new Date();
public void processAction(ActionEvent e){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hi");
}

public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent ce){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ce.getSource());
}

public String getSom(){
return som;
}

public void setSom(String som){
this.som = som;
}

public Date getToday(){
return today;
}

public void setToday(Date today) {
this.today = today;
}
}
