Passing list of POJOs to AutoCompleteTextField?
I have a working test page containing an AutoCompleteTextField. Thus far
the data feeding it has been an Iterator of strings which is being
passed to its overridden getChoices method. So far so good.
What I need to do now is to pass in an Iterator of POJOs instead and
have the AutoCompleteTextField render the 'name' field inside each of
those beans. After some digging in the Wicket source I suspect that I
need to create a custom renderer that does this - am I on the right
track here or would you guys suggest a different approach?
Another challenge will be to populate other form fields in the page
after selecting an option from the AutoCompleteTextField. By selecting
an option in the dropdown I am basically selecting an entire POJO, which
is supposed to be used as the model for the other remaining fields. For
instance, the POJO will contain address, zip, phone, etc. fields and by
selecting the appropriate name in the AutoCompleteTextField it populates
all other fields with the remaining data in the underlying POJO. Hope
this makes sense - I think I have an idea of how to implement this, but
would appreciate any tips/insights.
Thanks!!
Michael

Hi
I ve read this discussion before (AutoComplete returning a list of
POJOs) and just a silly question: Shouldn't it be a new component? I
mean, if a dev wants a really text box that suggests a autocomplete,
but not enforce it, how would he use your component ?
A new component, like "TextFilterComboBox", would not be better?
Looking forward....

RE: Passing list of POJOs to AutoCompleteTextField?
Posted by Michael Mehrle <mi...@ask.com>.
I would be happy to - what is the URL for this? (first time - new
contributor).
In that context - I recently grepped through the Wicket source and
noticed that all the javascript event calls (onchange, onclick, etc.)
are all in the code as plain strings, which is bad practice. Thus I
wrote a *JavaScriptUtil* class that has String constants like CHANGE,
BLUR, DRAG_DROP, etc. (and can be statically imported jdk1.5 style). The
class also includes Javadoc that describes each event in detail. I
thought that this might be a little contribution to Wicket if you want
it. Let me know and I can submit the source (again, would need the URL
and procedure).
Thanks,
Michael

RE: Passing list of POJOs to AutoCompleteTextField?
Posted by Michael Mehrle <mi...@ask.com>.
That's exactly what I wound up doing. I wrote my custom renderer that
grabs the name field of my POJO for rendering. Of course that is what
I'm getting back from getModelObjectAsString(). It's a work-around and I
was hoping for a more elegant way of doing this...

I don't think it is, the getMmodelObject() returns the selected
String. I've gotten around this by saving the last query string sent
via AJAX. When the user makes a selection, I iterate over the
options for that query string one more time, and take the POJO whose
rendered string matches the user-selected text.
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't think
getModelObject() is it...

RE: Passing list of POJOs to AutoCompleteTextField?
Posted by Michael Mehrle <mi...@ask.com>.
I could - if it was a simple matter of extracting the strings from the
POJOs. Problem is that, once an option is selected, I need the
underlying POJOs to become the model for the rest of the form. Yes,
there's probably a way to hack this, but I would prefer to do this in a
clean fashion.
I already got the custom renderer working, so I'm making progress. Task
#2 now is to grab the underlying POJO after selecting it and populate
the remainder of the form. This seems to be the tough part... Again, any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
