<rich:suggestionBox> not working inside dataList/dataTable

[javatwo]

Hi,

Has anyone made <rich:suggestionBox> working inside dataList/dataTable?

In my case, ajax request is sent, but  the suggestionAction method is not called.

Outside dataList/dataTable, it works.

Thanks for any info.

I am using 3.3.3 Final.

debugging the code, UISuggestionBox.java

processDecodes(), queueEvent() are not called.

Where is the code HtmlSuggestionBox.java? It is not in the source code.

Thanks.

yes. But in my case it's an extendedDataTable.

Can you post some pieces of your facelet code?

<h:form>

<t:dataTable value="#{testBean.books}" var="book">

  <h:column>

        <t:inputText id="inputText" value="#{book.title}" />

        <rich:suggestionbox id="suggestionBox" for="inputText"

                width="300" height="300" ajaxSingle="true"

                 nothingLabel="No books found"

                suggestionAction="#{testBean.suggestionAction}" var="book1">

             <h:column>

                    <h:outputText value="#{book1.title}"/>

             </h:column>

        </rich:suggestionbox>

  </h:column>

</t:dataTable>       

</h:form>

For the code above, suggestionAction was called, but the popup did not show up.

I am using <t:dataTable>.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Siva,

I am using <t:dataTable>.  <rich:suggestionBox> may not work with tomahawk.

<t:dataTable> has a feature called newspaperColumns, which is quite useful to us,

but <rich:dataTable> does not have it.

Thanks,

Dave

you could do some trial and error, like:

surround the suggestionbox with an <a4j:outputPanel> or <a4j:region>. At least Sivas last link indicates a connection between a not working suggestionbox inside of non "ajaxcontainers" (probably non-richfaces ajaxcontainers)

Thanks, I will try the suggestions.

One thing I noticed:  the suggestionBox does not work for input asian characters such as chinese characters.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-4907

I tried the google search box that has suggestion drop down, it works great for input chinese characters.

Suggestion is triggered only when chinese characters are typed into the search box. I have not figured out

what event the suggestion is triggered on.

Thanks.

By setting singleAjax=false and <a4j:ajaxListener type="org.ajax4jsf.ajax.ForceRender"/>,

it works inside <t:dataTable>.

but the following did not work.

<f:subview id="view1">

       <jsp:include page="suggestionBox.jsp" />

</f:subview>

<f:subview id="view2">

       <jsp:include page="suggestionBox.jsp" />

</f:subview>

The first subview works, but the 2nd did not work, the popup did not show up.
