Fire event from widget to server

I have a custom component which fires an event from the javascript as follows:

this.fire('onButtonClick',{}, {toServer:true});

In order to reference this event on the zul page eg:

<component onButtonClick="@command(doSomething)"/>

Do I need to add code to handle this event in the Service method of the components Java class ??

For example I usually do the following:

public void service(org.zkoss.zk.au.AuRequest request, boolean everError) {
    final String cmd = request.getCommand();
    if (cmd.equals("onButtonClick")) {
    Event evt = Event.getEvent(request);
    Events.postEvent(evt);
     } else
         super.service(request, everError);
     }
}

Is this service method code required for the event to work on the server (ie from a zul page) ??

Thanks.
