autocompleteMethod example

[med.ben]

Hellow everybody.

I'm trying to set up rich:select similar to the third one in the showcase.

it's my first time.

the problem is that i didn't find a full example that explain the autocompleteMethod (how to encode the java bean method)

so if some one can help i'll be thankful.

Example for a autocomplete component :

<rich:autocomplete id="auto" autocompleteMethod="#{autoCompleteBean.searchAutoComplete}"

  value="#{autoCompleteBean.value}" minChars="2">

  <a4j:ajax event="selectitem" execute="@this" render="@this"

  listener="#{autoCompleteBean.selectItemListener}" />

</rich:autocomplete>

@ManagedBean

@ViewScoped

public class AutoCompleteBean implements java.io.Serializable {

  private static final long serialVersionUID = -8232534836884753440L;

  private String value;

  public String getValue() {

  return value;

  }

  public void setValue(String value) {

  this.value = value;

  }

  /**

  * Select item autocomplete.

  *

  * @param event

  */

  public void selectItemListener(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {

  System.out.println("select item listener");

  }

  /**

  * Autocomplete.

  *

  * @param search

  * @return

  */

  public List<String> searchAutoComplete(String search) {

  List<String> lst;

  System.out.println("search auto complete");

  lst = new ArrayList<String>();

  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

  lst.add("auto " + i);

  }

  return lst;

  }

}

Shouldn't you maybe use the parameter for something?

What do you mean? String search? Indeed, I could. Like lst.add("auto " + i); to lst.add(search + i);
