ClientListener, by its meaning, is fired/triggered by its source component to ex

ecute some client side script been defined in java

scripts. Oracle defines it as "The clientListener tag is a declarative way to r
egister a client-side listener script to be
executed when a specific event type is fired. This tag will be ignored for any
server-rendered components, as it is only
supported by rich client components."

ServerListener, is fired/triggered by a custom client event to execute some serv

er side actions. Oracles defines as
"The serverListener tag is a declarative way to register a server-side listener
that should be executed when a custom client
event is fired. This tag will be ignored for any server-rendered components, as
it is only supported for the rich client.
The target method must return void and take one argument, a ClientEvent object."
