Find Primefaces event supported by an p:ajax inside a component

Question

Is there any way to get the events list supported by an p:ajax inside a component in Primefaces ? Thank you

First you should see in Primefaces docs, for every component there is a "Ajax Behavior Events" section.

If you want to know from java code the list of events check the getEventNames() method.

From the docs of ClientBehaviorHolder:

getEventNames(): Returns a non-null, unmodifiable Collection containing the names of the logical events supported by the component implementing this interface.

For example, for InputText you have:

private static final Collection<String> EVENT_NAMES = Collections.unmodifiableCollection(Arrays.asList("blur","change","valueChange","click","dblclick","focus","keydown","keypress","keyup","mousedown","mousemove","mouseout","mouseover","mouseup","select"));

public Collection<String> getEventNames() {
    return EVENT_NAMES;
}

The EVENT_NAMES collection is a list of all events supported by InputText. This method could be inherited from parent class, for InputText it's inherited from javax.faces.component.HtmlInputText.
