This is an exmaple of how to Ajaxize a control in ofbiz. It uses an auto

for the last name on the party lookup page. when the last name is selected it
fills the partyId on the form. the example does not take any role types or
groups into account.

Sorry about the duplicate files. the upload made it appear to me that one
replaced the other. :)

This is my version of your AjaxPartyServices.java as AjaxPartyEvents.java

Hey everybody - this works!
I looked at your code and would like to suggest -
1. AjaxPartyServices.java is really AjaxPartyEvents.java since you have written
an Events servlet not a Service. I just changed it and uploaded it for you.
2. I think a lot of the Javascript in findparty.ftl should be moved into an
ajax javascript file that could be shared everywhere, since they seem to be
pretty standard?
3. Please clean up the formatting of AjaxPartyEvents.java. See

David and Andy -
Can you make a specialized/ajax directory so we can put some ajax-related stuff
in there, like this, that all the applications/ can use, but at the same time
not mess with framework/?

I agree 100% with all 3 points and had every intention of getting to 1 and 2.
didn't know about 3 till just now :(
I found out last night after loading 200,000 users that things got a little
slow.
a temporary fix was to require at least 5 characters in the lastname.
I'm working on 2 other jira things now and can get to this on tuesday.

Great.
Also I think it would be nice to change your AjaxPartyEvents.java to a more
generic AjaxEvents.java and parametrize the entities and fields, etc., so that
it could be used everywhere for auto-completion. We could then integrate it
into the form-widget at a later date.

Here are the new files for the ajax lastname control. I wasnt sure what was
wrong with the formatting. maybe a critique of the formatting would give me a
better idea of what's wrong.
