rich:suggestionbox submits the whole form -> validation erro

[petrosd]

Hi,

i am new in richfaces and have a question.

I just created a simple form with some fields including one suggestionbox element.
The problem i have is, when i start typing in the autocomplete field, the whole form is getting submitted and validation errors are appearing.
Is there any way to submit only the autocmplete field? or skip the form submition?
I tried using ajaxSingle but it didnt work.

Thanks you for your help!

here my form:

<h:form>

<h:outputText value="${bundle['sample.form.name']}:" />
<h:inputText label="Name" id="name" required="true"
value="#{SimpleFormController.bean.userName}"
styleClass="defaultTextfield">
<f:validateLength minimum="3" />
</h:inputText>

<h:outputText value="Country with ajax" />
<h:inputText label="Country" id="country_ajax" required="true"
value="#{SimpleFormController.bean.userCountry}"
styleClass="defaultTextfield"/>
<rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionBoxId" for="country_ajax" nothingLabel="Nothing found"
suggestionAction="#{ListUtil.autocompleteCountry}" var="result" ajaxSingle="true"
minChars="1"
shadowOpacity="4"
border="1" width="200"
height="300"
shadowDepth="1"
cellpadding="0">
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result}" />
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>

<h:commandButton value="Submit"
action="#{SimpleFormController.doSubmit}"
styleClass="defaultButton" />

</h:form>

Seems you use old version. under 3.1.2 - ajaxSingle works fine and its true by default.

xm.. under 3.1.2 it works for me.

what about other environment?

java 1.5
tomcat 6
jsf-impl-1.2.jar
jsf-facelets-1.1.13.jar

OS: ubuntu linux

is it maybe a problem with facelets?
