Re: ObjectAutoCompleteField and specifying the fields from the object to use
On further investigation, the values aren't being separated after all. What is
added to the textfield is what is submitted in the form.
Is it possible to submit a different value than just the display text?
thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I am using ObjectAutoCompleteField from WicketStuff and it looks like what I
need for my scenario:
I have an object list with a bunch of fields and when the user searches, it
needs to match on a certain field and display the list of matches. The
examples do this with a Car object with an Integer field for the ID and a
String for the car name.
However, there seems to be no way to tell it *what* fields to use in the
supplied object. You can only give the component the Type of fields to look
up, and it gets the field to use by reflection. This assumes only one field
in that object will be of that Type.
ie
How could I make it would with a list of these objects:
class Person {
String userId;
String displayName;
...
}
Giving the ObjectAutoCompleteField the types Person,String won't work, it
won't know what field to use.
ListPerson persons = getPersons();
ObjectAutoCompleteBuilderPerson,String builder = new
ObjectAutoCompleteBuilderPerson,String(
new AutoCompletionChoicesProviderUser() {
public IteratorPerson getChoices(String input) {
ListPerson subSet = getPersonSubSet(persons,
input);
return subSet.iterator();
}
}
);
ObjectAutoCompleteField toField = builder.build(toField, new
ModelString());
form.add(toField);
Any ideas?

Re: ObjectAutoCompleteField and specifying the fields from the object to use
I decided against using the ObjectAutoCompleteTextField because it was too
restrictive in the Object you supply. I went with the component on the wiki and
ended up adding another getter/setter to my page to separate the value from the
display when it gets the object selected.
However, I revisited the Wicketstuff component with your suggestion, and adding:
builder.idProperty(userId);
works to set the value for the field that is submitted.
However, there is no way to tell it the value to use for the display! It's
just serializing the Object I give it as the display (ie
my.package.model.per...@77aa0759])
What I need is to give it a list of objects and to be able to specify what
properties to use for the display value and the submit value. It needs
something like:
builder.displayProperty(displayName);
thanks,

Re: ObjectAutoCompleteField and specifying the fields from the object to use
Actually I have just found in the javadocs the
AbstractObjectAutoCompleteRenderer which does the separation.
I'll give that a go.

Re: ObjectAutoCompleteField and specifying the fields from the object to use
For reference, adding this:
ObjectAutoCompleteRendererPerson renderer = new
ObjectAutoCompleteRendererPerson(){
protected String getIdValue(Person p) {
return p.getUuid();
}
protected String getTextValue(Person p) {
return p.getDisplayName();
}
};
and then:
builder.autoCompleteRenderer(renderer);
Does what I want. Thanks for the tip!
