What\'s the difference between the following two pieces of code - with regards to listener
placement?
for the first fragment (ajax listener attribute):
The "listener" attribute of an ajax tag is a method that is called on the server side every time the ajax function happens on the client side. For instance, you could use this attribute to specify a server side function to call every time the user pressed a key
but the second fragment (valueChangeListener) :
The ValueChangeListener will only be called when the form is submitted, not when the value of the input is changed
