JSF action from onChange

I'm trying to set up a data table with JSF that has boxes for row total that will sum the row total onChange of any box in the row. the row looks like:

<tr id="input_row_1">
<td id="mondayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="monday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.monday1}" required="false" />
    <!-- <input name="monday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="tuesdayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="tuesday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.tuesday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="tuesday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="wednesdayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="wednesday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.wednesday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="wednesday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="thursdayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="thursday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.thursday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="thursday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="fridayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="friday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.friday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="friday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="saturdayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="saturday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.saturday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="saturday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td id="sundayInput1">
    <h:inputText id="sunday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.sunday1}" required="false" />
    <!--<input name="sunday1" class="smallInput" type="number" size="2" maxlength="4" min="0"/> -->
</td>
<td>
    <h:inputText id="total1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.total1}" required="false" />
    <!-- <input name="total1" id="total1" type="text" size="5" readonly="readonly" /> -->
</td>

so I first tried to add onChange="#{timesheet.setTotal1}" to the day entries but the onChange event calls javascript, not java / JSF code. Can someone help get the total to update?

EDIT: I have accepted BalusC's answer but needed to also include the event attribute to the <f:ajax> tag to get it to work, like so

<h:inputText id="friday1" size="4" value="#{timesheet.friday1}" maxlength="4" required="false" >
    <f:ajax event="change" render="total1" listener="#{timesheet.updateTotal1}" />
</h:inputText>
