a4j:support – Simple Example on onkeyup event

July 18, 2008 by Krishna Srinivasan Leave a Comment

a4j:support

This example program demonstrates how to get started with a4j:support tag in the
RiachFaces tag libraray. This is part of Ajax4jsf libraray. But, from RiachFaces 3.0, Ajax4jsf is merged with RichFaces tag libraray. a4j:support is used inside any component to provide ajax support on that particular field.

In our example a4j:support allows user developer to directly map a text filed and one output filed. When user types in, the typed characters are displayed same time on the output field. This is done using the Ajax call to the server.
