How to queue custom events with out using af:calientListener.- onKeyUp.

Question

Hi,
I have a custom component ( extending richinput text).
defined a new attribute called "onkeyup" and added necessary logic in Renderer. Some thing like
write.writeAttribute("onkeyup" , "handleEvent()");
I rendered the java script code too ..... in my custom renderer. ( I neigther want to write java script in metaContainer of document tag nor wants to use resource tag..)
and the handleEvent code is something like this.
function handleEvent()
In this method i want to write the code which pushes my custom event to the queue.
some thing like this..
component = event.getSource();
AdfCustomEvent.queue(component, "customEvent",{payload:component.getSubmittedValue()}, true);
event.cancel();
Usually if use a clientListener then it will call the method {  handleEvent(event)  } passing event parameter so that we can get the source of that event.
But as i dont want to use the clientEventListener.... as of now... i can't get the component because i don have the event object with my method.
So could any one please letme know , how can i queue my custom event in to my customcomponent... with out using ClientListeners.

Hi,
AFAIK, you cannot queue an event to the serverListener without a clientListener.
