Use rich:suggestionbox inside a tabular form (i.e a rich:dat

[martin.ahrer]

I'm building a form that is built from a rich:dataTable. Each row contains a inputText with a rich:suggestionbox!

The suggestion box works well when typing in the first row of the table, the suggestion action is executed and the list pops up.

However when doing the same in the 2nd row, 3rd row, etc. the suggestion action is executed but no popup is displayed???

Anybody who can give a hint? Is it it general possible to use suggestionbox with an iterating tag like datatable?

<rich:dataTable value="#{menuAdminController.selectedObject.attributes}" var="object" id="attributesTable">
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{menuResources['attribute.user.header']}" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:inputText id="login" value="#{object.login}" required="false" valueChangeListener="#{object.userValueChanged}"
 validator="#{object.validateUser}">
 <f:validateLength maximum="40" />
 </h:inputText>
 <rich:message for="login" />
 <rich:suggestionbox id="loginSuggest" for="login" width="200" height="200" suggestionAction="#{object.userSuggestion}" var="user" minChars="2" fetchValue="#{user.login}" >
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{user.login}"/>
 </rich:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 </rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>

I have absolutely the same problem. In my case the suggestion for the last row of the list pops up and works fine, but for all previous rows no pop-up is shown, though the controller and the suggestionAction are invoked and the returned result is correct.

I would appreciate some comments on this issue. Does anybody have a working solution. Or is it just not possible to work with a suggestionBox within a rich:dataTable?

Similar problem here.

I get a NullPointerException because the table iterator object ("object" in your example) is null.

Initially I had the suggestion boxes and my rich:dataTable inside an <h:form> Tag and the suggestion boxes did not work.
Now I have changed the form to an <a4j:form>, and the suggestion boxes inside my editable list work correctly.
I did not make any other substantial changes. Maybe this could help.
