rich:autocomplete cleaning the inputbox

[gobii]

Hello guys,

I've just migrated from Richfaces 3.3.3 to 4.3.7 and I'm struggling with the autocomplete component as i need to clean the input text after the execution of a ajax call, but it never gets cleaned, here is my code:

<h:form id="autocompleteUserForm">

  <rich:autocomplete id="impersonateduser-box"

  valueChangeListener="#{OrderForm.selectActingUser}"

  autocompleteMethod="#{OrderForm.autocompleteUser}"

  value="#{OrderForm.autocompleteUserSelection}"

  autofill="false" onbeforedomupdate="#{OrderForm.cleanUserAutocompleteSelection()}"

  fetchValue="#{user.id}" var="user" layout="table"

  style="text-align: left;" minChars="3">

  <rich:column>

  <h:outputText value="#{user}" />

  </rich:column>

  <rich:column>

  <h:outputText value="#{user.email}" />

  </rich:column>

  <rich:column>

  <h:outputText value="#{user.counterparty.code}" />

  </rich:column>

  <rich:column>

  <h:outputText value="#{user.counterparty.name}" />

  </rich:column>

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

  render="orderFormMainPanel,orderFormMainSubPanel" />

  </rich:autocomplete>

  </h:form>

Onbeforedomupdate is a client-side listener, you can't call a bean method with it. Why do you need to delete the input? The user just typed in what he wants to select.

i'm using the autocomplete to catch the object the user typed, once he has already chosen the value i update the bean and then i show the object representation on a outputlabel field, so i don't need the inputbox with the value, that's why i want to clean it after choosing the value.
