based on your other emails it appears you are missing your Struts action class you are also probably missing struts.xml which defines the Struts Action class and results and any configuration params whats more the jsp you are using probably does not have sj="/struts-jquery-tags" declaration so its best you start with a complete download of base the basic struts-jquery-tags with a working Struts Action class
download from https://github.com/struts-community-plugins/struts2-jquery download zip once you have the base struts2-jquery plugin war built and deployed to your container (if you have any problems packaging or deploying you can ping us...@maven.apache.org) then you can add in the sj:autocompleter example from: http://struts.jgeppert.com/struts2-jquery-showcase/index.action to your main jsp its important that you have a complete Struts Action class deployed and working before adding in the sj:autocompleter code Nota Bene: list="%{customers}" where variable customers should be populated from Action if the variables are NOT populated in action you can always use hardcoded values list="[Mary, Lukasz, Dave]" then once you get familiar with Beans and how to use populate accessors and mutators with bean contents to customers then you can switch back to populating your list list="%{customers}" you can also use also use this shortcut to convert array of strings to 'customers' private List<String customers; public List<String> getCustomers() { return Arrays.asList("Mary", "Lukasz", "Dave"); } HTH Martin ______________________________________________ > From: zy...@hotmail.com > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: RE: <sj:autocompleter> dependable > Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 22:07:57 -0400 > > Thanks, for trying to help me on this.
