Ajax for valueChangeListener

Question

I\'m using the p:ajax listener to handle value change events (because valueChangeListener is launched on form submit):

Answer 1

The problem is, I can't find in AjaxBehaviorEvent nor its class hierarchy the place to read the old value of the input. Neither could I find hint in google, how to get the old value...

Use a valueChangeListener.

Unfortunatelly, valueChangeListener is invoked before p:ajax, so I don't have actual data from forms in that method, so in theory I could use valueChangeListener to remember the old value and then wait for p:ajax to process...

Queue the value change event to the invoke application phase.

public void valueChangeListenerMethod(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    if (event.getPhaseId() != PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION) {
        event.setPhaseId(PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION);
        event.queue();
        return;
    }

    // Do your original job here. 
    // It will only be invoked when current phase ID is INVOKE_APPLICATION.
}
