Adding a parameter in the Autocomplete call

[daniel.grane]

Cagatay,

I was wondering if it is possible to add a parameter to the autocomplete completeMethod, i.e. having in my controller myMethod(String query, Object myObject), because I need to prevent searching in all the rows in the database...


Thanks.

Daniel, did you make it work anyway with spring webflow? Right now it doesn't support passing additional parameters out of the box.

[daniel.grane]

Yup, the autocomplete is working, but with no additional parameters, just the string that is taken from the input.

Thanks.

I see, maybe we can add support for f:param here but can't figure out how it'll help you. What kind of parameter do you need to send and how will you use it?

Hello
It can be used to implement generic auto complete , for example you can give query hint with parameter and on backside interpret this value and create convenient sql
Is it possible to send extra parameter at the moment ?
Thank you

+1 with the generic autocomplete.
Currently working on a composite component that do just that,
the paramterizable autocomplete with additional query filters other than the string passed to the method.

I was thinking about using f:param, or p:ajax + keyup + f:attribute that contains the additional query filters,
but it seems that this is not supported yet from my experiment using 2.2

is this fixed by now , is it possible to add an aditional parameter to the autocomplete (I need to have 2 parameters)
