How handle object from rich:suggestionbox ?

[anonym365456]

Hi
I wonder, if possible is to 'handle' object that was selected in rich:suggestionbox?

i.e.:

<h:inputText id="nralbum" value="#{AdminController.nrAlbumu}" >
</h:inputText>

<rich:suggestionbox for="nralbum" suggestionAction="#{AdminController.autocompleteUserByAlbum}"
 var="suggestUser" >
<h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{suggestUser.nrAlbum}"/>
</h:column>

public List <UserInfo> autocompleteUserByAlbum(Object event) {
 .....
}

And I would like to get value of object 'UserInfo' that was selected as 'suggestUser' outside of 'rich:suggestionBox' (i mean after user select value)
Is it possible?

regards and thanks for response

I know that possible is sth. like that in normal h:dataTable (rich:suggestionBox is similar):

UserInfo a = (UserInfo) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().get("suggestUser");

but i checked this and I'm dissapointed because there is no request parameter named 'suggestUser'.
Any ideas?

you could use onselect event in conjunction with a4j:jsFunction for this purpose, maybe is not very clean but work.

It seems I am not the only one who tries to figure out how to do it.

I've tried using a4j:jsFunction and onselect but that didn't work.

<rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionBoxId"
 suggestionAction="#{suggestion.autocomplete}"
 var="result"
 fetchValue="#{result.name}"
 onselect="select(#{result.id})"
 immediate="true"
>

and

<a4j:jsFunction name="select"
 action="#{suggestion.setCurrentId()}"
 eventsQueue="foo"
 ignoreDupResponses="true">
 <a4j:actionparam name="resultID" />
</a4j:jsFunction>

The problem is that resultID is undefined when the function is called.
Any other ideas how to do it? I guess I could wrap the whole table row in a a4j:commandLink or something.

please be patient.. I'll complete this till release.

Could you please give a little hint on how to do it for the impatient amongst us?

[benjes]

Okay I found a way to do it using a4j:support and f:setPropertyActionListener

<rich:suggestionbox var="result" .... >
...
<a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="myid">
 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{result}" target="#{backingBean.currentObject}" />
 </a4j:support>
</rich:suggestionbox>

And in your backing bean you've got

public void setCurrentObject(Object current){
...
}
