ValueChangeListeners,.. are they working right??

[David Brainard <sd...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I was looking into the UIInput class and the way the valuechange event 
gets generated and put in the queue.
The event gets generated the first time (when the page is submited the 
first time) inspite of no change made in the input components.

In the validate() in UIInput class the previous value and submittedValue 
is obtained like this:
Object previousValue = getValue();
Object submittedValue = getSubmittedValue();

when a page is submitted for the first time getValue() returns *null. 
*But getSubmittedValue() returns empty string(inputtext) or the current 
value(dropdown).
So a valuechange event is put in queue.

this doesnt happen the next time since the getValue() returns empty 
string(inputtext).

I think this is not a correct behavior coz a value change event should 
be queued only when a value is changed but here it is triggered 
irrespective of the value change in the component.

p.s: i am no jsf expert. ;)

Thanks for your suggestions in advance,
