Hi,

I have just written a sample form which contains fields for address
editing (post code, city, street, etc...). What I want to achieve is
to autocomplete fields like city, street when user enters a proper
post code. The standard AutoCompleteTextField component allows to
autocomplete the field which it is attached to (in my example it is a
post code field). I have realized that it is not so hard to extend
this standard component to support autocompletion of other - related
fields (components).

I have made a prototype of such component and it works ok. The main
problem is that the AutoCompleteTextField and related classes
(behavior, renderer) are not easily to extend (eg. it is necessary to
make a few modifications in wicket-autocomplete.js but in
AbstractAutoCompleteBehavior the standard js is added in renderHead
method, so there is no way to replace it, etc.). So I must made a copy
of these standard classes and then made modifications in them.

My proposition is to extend the functionality of AutoCompleteTextField
to support autocompletion of multiple fields (with backward
compatibilty, I can share my prototype) or at least to make a small
modification in actual classes (I can point these places which need
modifications), to allow easily to extend this component.

What do you think?
