Struts 2 jQuery autocompleter and dynamic list
I am trying to implement an auto complete feature using Struts 2 jQuery
plugin - <sj:autocompleter>. The suggestion list need to be dynamically
retrieved from backend based on the characters user entered. Is it possible
to implement this behaviour using S2 jQuery plugin? Does anyone has a good
example?
I could not find such an example in showcase.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Antonios and Dave,
Thanks again for your responses. I actually downloaded the whole showcase
project, and trying debugging on my local machine, trying to figure out
what's the trick of it. At here, I think if the wiki pages provides more
detail instructions on how to set some critical attributes, that would be a
great help to users. I think I am not only one get confused. Like the
variable "term" declared in the Autocompleter.java class. Nowhere tells
users what's this guy, how to use it. Now, I finally figured out that this
"term" is used to catch the characters user typed in.
I actually tried this several months ago, and could not get it working. So,
I gave it up. Now, I came back again, since I have to.
Regards,
Mike

I'd just try it; seems like `list` would be for immediate data (e.g., on
first page load) and then it would be replaced by data from
`href`--although I'm not sure what the point of using both would be.

I haven't used the sj:autocompleter (I'm using the jQuery
autocompletedirectly), but from what I'm reading in the documentation
if you use the href that points to a location that is returning json data
you don't have to use the list attribute.
Have you tried setting up the example in the documentation?

Hi Antonios,
Thank you so much for your response. I was actually keep reading the wiki
these days, but I am still not able to get what I expected.
For <sj:autocompleter>, can these two attribute "list" and "href" used
together?
Thanks,
Mike
