如果使用者改变了JSF输入组件的值后送出窗体，就会发生值变事件（Value Change Event），这会丢出一个javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent对象，如果您想要处理这个事件，有两种方式，一是直接设定JSF输入组件的valueChangeListener属性，例如：
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{user.locale}"
onchange="this.form.submit();"
valueChangeListener="#{user.changeLocale}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="zh_CN" itemLabel="Chinese"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="en" itemLabel="English"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
为选择了选单项目之后就立即发生反应，我们在onchange属性中使用了JavaScript，其作用是在选项项目发生改变之后，立即送出窗体，而不用按下提交按钮；而valueChangeListener属性所绑定的user.changeLocale方法必须接受ValueChangeEvent对象，例如：UserBean.java
package wsz.ncepu;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent;
public class UserBean {
public String locale;
private String name;
private String password;
private String errMessage;
public void changeLocale(ValueChangeEvent event) {
if ("en".equals(locale))
locale = "zh_CN";
else
locale = "en";
}
public void setLocale(String locale) {
this.locale = locale;
}
public String getLocale() {
return this.locale;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setErrMessage(String errMessage) {
this.errMessage = errMessage;
}
public String getErrMessage() {
return errMessage;
}
public String verify() {
if (!name.equals("justin") || !password.equals("123456")) {
errMessage = "错误 ";
return "failure";
} else {
return "success";
}
}
}
另一个方法是实作javax.faces.event.ValueChangeListener接口，并定义其processValueChange()方法，例如：
SomeListener.java
package wsz.ncepu;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent;
import javax.faces.event.ValueChangeListener;
public class SomeListener implements ValueChangeListener {
public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
System.out.println("en".equals(wsz.ncepu.UserBean.locale));
if ("en".equals(wsz.ncepu.UserBean.locale))
wsz.ncepu.UserBean.locale = "zh_CN";
else
wsz.ncepu.UserBean.locale = "en";
}
}
然后在JSF页面上使用<f:valueChangeListener>卷标，并设定其type属性，例如：
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{user.locale}"
onchange="this.form.submit();">
<f:valueChangeListener type="wsz.ncepu.SomeListener" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="zh_CN" itemLabel="Chinese" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="en" itemLabel="English" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
