parameters is for passing additional parameters to the listener invoked by the autocompleter... One can use this if multiple autocompleters call the same listener and want to differentiate between them...
As for direct, it'll always work if set to false... If set to true, it tries to only render the autocompleter (which may be wrong if it's in a loop, e.t.c.)... so, it may be faster, but it may fail :) see http://tacos.sourceforge.net/components/Autocompleter.html BTW, try to comment out the listener parameter and see what happens!
