Rich Faces Suggestion Box fetch value ??

[mahi101987]

Hi,

I am using rich faces suggestion box and i have tied this to an input text component.

In the rich faces suggestion box we have an attribute called fetch value

This fetch value will filter the data sent to the suggestion box.

I need to change fetch value based on some other action output on this page.

Is this possible ?

Please suggest me a way to do so ..

Thanks

Mahendra

can you post an example of do you want to do , because i don't know what you means with  "some other "

[mahi101987]

Like i mean

when i click a radio button in my page , i want the suggestion box to fetch values of say "Name" criteria

and when i click another radio button in the page , now i want suggestion box to retrieve data of say "Age" criteria.

I hope You understood this

Thanks

yes , maybe i have a solution bean-side

using radio button you can set a parameter inside the bean.

now you can crate a set and a get like

setFetchValue

and

getFetchValue

like this

getFetchValue(){

     switch(radio_button_value){

     case 1:return getName();

     case 2:return getAge();

     //and so on

}

}

in the same way you can create the set

in the suggestionbox you call

fatchValue="#{mybean.fatchValue}"

i think that this can work but i don't have time to test  it

Yeah thanks will check that out ,

By the way i have another question

After selecting a particular value from the suggestion list , how can i get that selected value back to my java bean ?

Thanks

i'm sorry but before i was in a mistake because

this is the correct way to call this

h:inputText id="input_X" value="#{myBean.fatchValue}" />

rich:suggestionbox for="input_X"   fetchValue="#{result.fetchValue}"

suggestionAction="#{myBean.autocomplete}"

usingSuggestObjects="true"

var="result"

>

in your autocomplete you have to set the radio_button_value on each item of the list because if not fetchValue="#{result.fetchValue}" return you the deflaut value of the case of.

use a4j:support on onselect and pass the property you need using f:setPropertyActionListener to the bean.

Hi Ilya ,

Sorry to ask this ,

That was a reply to which question

If it was for the question on how to bring back the selected suggestion value back to the bean then i have one doubt

I am doing the same way as you have suggested but for putting a value into the target attribute of the f:setPropertyActionListener i am sending a value of the same object used in the suggestion list .

But this value is becoming null

anyway to overcome this

Thanks

Mahendra

[ilya_shaikovsky]

please add your current code.

[mahi101987]

I am displaying an object value in the suggestion list

say i have a person object , and i am displaying the person name in the suggestion list .

Here i am able to view the person name

but when i trying to set the same person name which i have selected into another variable , the problem is i am getting the previous selected person value as null

the f:setProperty Action Listenet tag is also present within the rich suggestion tag.

Image is attached for the sample code

AnyIdea on how to solve the question asked in the first post ?

Thanks

Mahendra
