Yep, Matthias is correct, though to be fuly specific it's called during Process Validations, unless immediate="true", in which case it's called during Apply Request Values.
It's good to learn *exactly* how values move through the JSF lifecycle: 1. Apply Request Values: submittedValue is set. 2. Process Validators: value is set, submittedValue is cleared, ValueChangeEvents are delivered (unless validation or conversion fails) 3. Update Model: model is set, value is cleared 4. Invoke Application: no processing of values 5. Render Response: values are retrieved from submitted value if set, otherwise value if set, otherwise model If "immediate" is true, add that Process Validators logic to Apply Request Values. -- Adam On 5/2/06, Matthias Wessendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

ValueChangeListeners are called during Phase 3 (Process Validations) Phase 5 (Invoke Application) there the ActionListeners are called before the "action method" of your backing bean An interesting blog entry about "playing" with JSF's lifecycle is [1]. -Matthias [1] http://www.jroller.com/page/cschalk?entry=getting_familiar_with_the_jsf
