Accessing the text input of an AutoCompleter with forceValidOption=false
Sorry for what is likely an easy question.
I'm having users use an AutoCompleter to select something (in this case
wine). I've turned off the forceValid option with the intent of adding the
input as a new value if it doesn't match the list.
How do I access the value that a user input when it doesn't match something
on the list. Currently, if I try to access the value, it's null and throws a
null pointer exception.
<span jwcid="wineChooser@Autocompleter" id="wineChooser"
value="ognl:wineType" model="ognl:wineAutoComleteModel"
maxListLength="ognl:7" forceValidOption="ognl:false"/>

Well we don't use the actual Tacos library right now. I just pulled
enough of the Autocompleter out of Tacos to make it work on its own as a
workaround for all these problems but I still can't get it to work in a
loop. I don't think it would be worth posting the code and modifications
to hivemodule.xml; there were a lot of dependencies that had to be
pulled in and it's quite a frankenstein effort at the moment
unfortunately.

I didn't see the tacos autocompeleter as a component in the Tacos
4.1.0 SNAPSHOT. Is it included?

We too have had a lot of problems with the dojo-based Autocompleter that
have led us to use the one from Tacos whenever possible.

I wouldn't mind finding out myself how to submit the value if its not

Unfortunately for me, sounds like that won't work for me. There are multiple
items on the form and focus won't be on the AutoCompleter at the time of
submit.

I've done something similiar here. In my autoCompleteModel I
basically return the search result in the getValues() method if no
matches get returned. Seems to work the only problem is that if the
user doesn't have the option highlighted it ends up being null, which
happens if they use the mouse to submit instead of just hitting
return.
