One suggestionBox to update 2 input fields

[phread]

Hi,

How can I use a suggestionbox to update 2 or more input fields.
Imagine adding a "state" input text in http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/suggestionBox.jsf

Selecting a capital would also fetch the state to the corresponding input field.

I hope I'm clear enough.

I don't have any clue on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Fred B.

seems something like I described at:

In the mean time I've found an alternative solution :

<h:inputText id="city" value="#{address.city}" />
<rich:suggestionbox for="city"
 var="result" fetchValue="#{result.city}" suggestionAction="#{suggestAction.suggest}"
 nothingLabel="unknown city" >
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.zip}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result.city}" />
 </h:column>
 <a4j:support event="onselect" action="#address.setZip(result.zip)}" reRender="zip" ></a4j:support>
</rich:suggestionbox>
<h:inputText id="zip" value="#{address.zip}" />

It works but there's an additional round trip to the server I'm not comfortable with. I'll try your solution, as it seems client side only -correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

Yes in my case the object instead just string comes from server. And the only you need to save it to some hidden. In future we plans to add JS API to more comfortable work with client side suggested objects
