The problem it shows me toString of the object returned from the method autocomplet (the method of autocomplete returns List <EmployeeDTO> and not List<String> )
I want the value selected from the list appears
<rich:autocomplete
autocompleteMethod="#{workflowValidationDelegationSearchBackingBean.suggestDelegate}"
var="delegate" value="#{workflowValidationDelegationSearchModelBean.searchCriteria.delegateName}"
fetchValue="#{result.firstName}">
<h:column>
<h:outputText
value="#{delegate.firstName} #{delegate.lastName}" />
</h:column>
</rich:autocomplete>
I think providing @converter attribute is what you need: http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_X/vdldoc/rich/autocomplete.html
