Which suggestion input field component?

Hi,

I need to add an input text field with suggestion capabilities to an 
existing JSF 1.1 application.
Which component would you recommend using?
The Sandbox s:inputSuggest would seem like a good fit but I have some 
concerns about using Sandbox due to it's experimental status.
The number of possible values is not large, the maximum will be around 150.
The value set is also static and doesn't depend on other component values.

Tomahawk-sandbox is only available as a SNAPSHOT-version, there are no
releases.
The version number increments if tomahawk also increments and a new
tom release is published.

This does not mean that all the stuff in it is unstable. Quite a few
components are ready for production
and widely used (like Subform, Ajax components, suggest, modal dialog..).

The main reason for not pushing some of the components to tom is less
amount time. :)

However, you can get the latest nightly here:

http://people.apache.org/builds/myfaces/nightly/

Your file should be:

tomahawk-sandbox-1.1.7-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip

No need for a checkout and build from sources.

cheers,

Gerald

Hi,

Thanks, Gerald.
Are there any Sandbox release builds available I could use?
Or do I need to build it myself? Which tag should I use for checking out 
the source?

Hi,

the simple suggest component from sandbox is quite stable and can be
used without any restrictions.
There are no problems i am aware of.

As an alternative you could also have a look at the inputSuggestAjax
component. But if the suggested
values are predefined and not dependent from user inputs i would take
the first approach.

cheers,

Gerald
