Value Change listener not working in primefaces calendar

In more recent versions of PrimeFaces, SelectEvent should be usedsee the following code snippet

<p:calendar id="event" value="#{calendarView.date4}">    <p:ajax event="dateSelect" listener="#{calendarView.onDateSelect}" update="msgs" /></p:calendar>

public void onDateSelect(SelectEvent event) {    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");    facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Date Selected", format.format(event.getObject())));}

In older primefaces versions use DateSelectEvent

<p:ajax event="dateSelect" listener="#{caseUitility.dateChange}"/>

public void dateChange(DateSelectEvent event) {    Date date = event.getDate();    System.out.println("File Date: " + date);    System.out.println("Hello... I am in DateChange");}

You should add an update to your p:ajax. I had problems when selecting a date with the datepicker and when manually typing it in the field. The change event was not triggerd both ways. Therefore I used an p:ajax and a f:ajax with different events.

<p:calendar value="#{caseUitility.caseMaster.fileDate}" id="fileDate" effect="fadeIn" pattern="dd/MM/yyyy" readOnlyInputText="true">    <p:ajax event="dateSelect" listener="#{caseUitility.dateSelect}" update="lastDate"/>    <f:ajax event="change" execute="@this" render="lastDate" listener="#{caseUitility.dateChange}"/></p:calendar>

And in the bean

public void dateSelect(DateSelectEvent event) {    caseMaster.setFileDate(event.getDate());    System.out.println("File Date: " + caseMaster.getFileDate());    System.out.println("Hello... I am in DateChange");}public void dateChange(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) throws MWSException {    System.out.println("File Date: " + caseMaster.getFileDate());    System.out.println("Hello... I am in DateChange");}

Hope this helps

My solution:

<p:ajax event="change" listener="#{caseUitility.dateChange}"/>

And in the bean:

public void dateChange(SelectEvent event) {         date = (Date)event.getObject();}
