rich:suggestionbox problem: don't show autocomplete the seco

[iborraz]

Hello,

I have a piece of code that consist in a normal inputText and a suggestionbox for autocomplete capability.

In my application I would do this:
- write the initial characters of a contact
- Suggestionbox shows the suggested values in a list
- Select one of the suggested contacts
- Push a button (ajax:commandButton) to pass the value from inputText to a SelectManyListBox.
- write another initial characters of a contact for repeat the process and add more than one value to the SelectManyListBox.

In this last step is where I find problems. When I introduce for second time (after works all correctly the first time) the initial characters, the suggestionbox don't appear and I can't add more than one contact to the listbox.

I have tried with "ajaxSingle = true", with "bypassUpdates = true", with "eventQueue = 50", with "frequency = 0", with "immediate = true", and with "usingSuggestedObjects = true", but non of these solves my problem.

This is my piece of code:

<table>
<tr>
<td><label><h:outputText value="#{msgapp.fincas_contactos2}"/>  </label></td>
 <td><h:inputText id="nombreApellidoContacto" value="#{fincaBean.nombreApellidoContacto}" size="25" styleClass="editable" />
 <rich:suggestionbox height="100" id="suggBox" for="nombreApellidoContacto" var="result" ajaxSingle="true" eventsQueue="50" usingSuggestObjects="true"
 suggestionAction="#{fincaBean.contactNombreAutoComplete}" minChars="4" nothingLabel="No hay resultados" width="175" reRender="suggBox" bypassUpdates="true" frequency="0" immediate="true">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{result}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox></td>
 <td><a4j:commandButton process="nombreApellidoContacto" reRender="contactsBorrar,nombreApellidoContacto" action="#{fincaBean.asociarContacto}"
 value="#{msgapp.gen_seleccionar}" ajaxSingle="true"/></td>
 </tr>

Thank you for your help,

Ignacio.

Seems autocomplete method just isn't called second time?

please add rich:messages to your page.

You could send me simple sample in war file (include libs except RF and java sources) to me directly for examination

I am facing the same problem... If I return to the text box where I use the suggestion component, I don't get any suggestions. I have to go to another page and back again for the suggestion to work again...

Any solutions?

As you could read from my post above - I could not reproduce this only using description. :/
Info about versions, page, bean should be provided.

Ok... I have also made a test project if you would like to have a look at it? But I can't find a way to upload the file...?

Is there a solution for this problem? I'm facing the same issue in IE (works ok on Firefox):

It shows the suggestionbox for the first time. Then, I enter the first token and some letters, I wait for the suggestionbox, but it doesn't appear.

It was working great in IE and Firefox before I upgraded to 3.2.2 (I was working with 3.1.4). I then tried 3.3.1 and had the same problem. Now, it only works on Firefox.

<h:form id="formSendMessage">
 <h:inputTextarea id="txtDestinations" value="#{sendMessage.destinations}"
 style="width:600px" rows="2" />
 <rich:suggestionbox id="sbDestinations" for="txtDestinations" tokens="," selfRendered="true" suggestionAction="#{sendMessage.autocomplete}"
 var="destination" width="300" fetchValue="#{destination.value}" usingSuggestObjects="true" nothingLabel="No suggestions">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{destination.name}" />
 </h:column>
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{destination.mobile}" />
 </h:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
</h:form>

I'm using Seam 2.0.2SP1, Facelets 1.1.14 and Jboss 4.2.3.

Any Ideas? I install the a4j:log and after the first token, it stops sending ajax requests. It just logs the following everytime I enter a letter:

debug[17:39:19,825]: set timeout for request suggestion
debug[17:39:20,246]: Observer event occurs
