RE : s:inputSuggest problem

[Clément Maignien <c....@edic-syliance.com>]

Thanks Sean :D
Waiting for Matt and your come back, I've gone into the source code of the InputSuggestRenderer class and it seems that, at this point of the dev, the filling can only be made by a f:selectItems (not many a f:selectItem). Moreover, the values of the f:selectItems must be putted into a Map object. Hopefully, It seems this will be extended to other class (Collection, Object[], etc)

I'm going to try this ...
Clément.

Its been a while since I've looked at this one.  I'm on vacation for a few days but I will look into it when I get back.  Perhaps Matt can help you out if he's around.

Apparently this was missing after the svn reorg.  Thanks for the heads up - I've added a JIRA issue on this (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-411).

In the meantime, you can always use subversion checkout ;-)

Again I will look into this when I get back.
