A valueChangeListener isn't intented for that use. It's a serverside thing which gives you the ability to get the old as well as the new input value when you submits the form.

Do you want to do it asynchronous? Or does the form have a submit button?

If asynchronous, use AJAX (google around for "ajax suggest" or "ajax autocomplete"). If on submit, just write data loading logic in that method of the backing bean.
