sugggestionbox don't work

[arielfernando]

Hi all,

I'm having problems using rich:suggestionbox. I try to put this component in my application, but it doesn't work.

My enviroment:

Richfaces 3.1.3-GA
jsf-1.2_05-b06-FCS
Tomahawk 1.1.6
Tomcat 6.0.14
Hibernate...Spring...

Problem description: when I type some chars in an inputText associated to a suggestionbox, nothing happend. No suggestion box, no erros... and the beans method associated to suggestionAction is never excecuted.

This is my test case:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich" prefix="rich"%>
<%@ taglib uri="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax" prefix="a4j"%>


<f:view>
 <f:subview id="idSubView">
 <h:form id="form">
 <h:outputText value="RAZON SOCIAL"/>
 <h:inputText id="idRazonSocial" value="#{altaNotaPedidoVenta.razonSocial}">
 <rich:suggestionbox id="idSuggestionBox"
 tokens=",["
 for="idRazonSocial"
 suggestionAction="#{altaNotaPedidoVenta.sugerirRazonSocial}"
 var="result"
 fetchValue="#{result.nombre}"
 minChars="1"
 shadowOpacity="4"
 border="1"
 width="250"
 height="150"
 shadowDepth="4"
 cellpadding="2"
 nothingLabel="NOTHING TO SHOW"
 rowNumber="5">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.nombre}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 </h:inputText>
 </h:form>
 </f:subview>
</f:view>

And my managed bean:

public class AltaNotaPedidoVentaBean {

 private String razonSocial = new String();

 private List<Ciudad> lista;

 public AltaNotaPedidoVentaBean() {
 lista = new ArrayList<Ciudad>();
 Ciudad ciudad1 = new Ciudad();
 ciudad1.setNombre("RAZON SOCIAL TESTING");
 lista.add(ciudad1);
 }

 public List<Ciudad> sugerirRazonSocial(Object event){
 return lista;
 }

 public String getRazonSocial() {
 return razonSocial;
 }

 public void setRazonSocial(String razonSocial) {
 this.razonSocial = razonSocial;
 }

}

Important:
When page is loaded, I can see at Firefox Error Console follows message:

Error: this.element has no properties

You can see that I put follows lines to test, but not help.

 <param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>

When I put above lines in my web.xml, Firefox Console Error shows:

Error: this.element has no properties

I remove Tomahawk libraries only for test, but same error. What do you think?, maby, anything wrong or missing with my web.xml?.

[arielfernando]

Yesterday I upgrade to richfaces-3.1.4-SNAPSHOT, but error persist. When page loading finish, FF error console show "Error: this.element has no properties" bla bla bla.

But, I download richfaces demo war file and deployed in my Tomcat...and suggestion box works fine. My web.xml and faces-config looks like web.xml and faces-config demo files...the only diference is that I don't use facelets...

Mmm...what about VIEW-HANDLER param?. If I dont'use facelets, shuld I put something special?.

[arielfernando]

I don't know why, but now suggestiobox is working fine. I'm only replace my original test case code (see first post) and all start works...
This case was resolved.

If helps, I post code that's now is working OK.
