Re: Passing list of POJOs to AutoCompleteTextField?

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:01:10 -0800

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...

shouldnt the pojo be availble from getmodelobject()?

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!!

can you not create an iterator adapter that takes an iterator of  
pojos

and translates the pojo to some string?

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
