suggestionBox send name and id to backing bean

[lmk]

hello,

Id like to use suggestionBox to display customer name, but I need the its value.

I thought to use a4j:actionParam into suggestionBox

<rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionCompanyId" for="companySuggest"
tokens=",[" rules="none"
suggestionAction="#{bean.autocomplete}"
var="result" fetchValue="#{result.name}" immediate="true">
<a4j:support event="onselect" ajaxSingle="false">
<a4j:actionparam name="company" value="#{result.companyId}" />
</a4j:support>
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result.name}" />
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>

the parameter send to the server is always null,as I use assignedTo or name..

thanks!!

name attribute is mandatory. And the attribute which specifies the bean property to be updated is "assignTo"

may be wasn't tested and doesn't merged with 3.1.x branch.. In this case - should work in 3.2.0 and will be merged before 3.1.4

I tried a4j:actionParam and it does not work.

You may want to use the following:

<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t"%>

<t:updateActionListener value="" property="">

The is also a facelets tag that is said to work. I have not use it though.

<f:setPropertyActionListener....>

Hope this helps.

<rich:suggestionbox width="200" height="200" for="test"
 suggestionAction="#{bean.autocomplete}" var="cap">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{cap.text}"></h:outputText>
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" action="#{bean.action}">
 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{cap.label}" target="#{bean.property1}" />
 </a4j:support>
 </rich:suggestionbox>

public void setProperty1(String property1) {
 System.out.println("Setting property1 to _> "+ property1);
 this.property1 = property1;
 }

this gaves me "Setting property1 to _> 1" in log, which is correct for my model. So can't allocate the problem. I check 3.1.4 GA.
