I would like to use the <sx:autocompleter> tag to choose a contact name in a database. However, the number of contacts that I will be searching is 5000+. When I follow the examples on apache.org, the techniques load the entire list when the page is rendered. The has serious performance implications. Is there a way to configure the autocompleter to query the database to create a filtered list based off the first three characters they enter? I guess I would like it to function more like Google's auto-suggest feature....
I have my autocompleter using a JSON object via the "href" attribute, but can't figure out a way to create the object after characters are entered rather than at page load. Setting preload="false" does exactly that, but I can't figure out how to populate the list after that! :) <sx:autocompleter name="contactName" href="ContactNameAsJSON.action" loadMinimumCount="3"/> Many thanks for any suggestions! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
