[S2] autocompleter, predefining initial value

[Dariusz Wojtas]

Hi,

I am using Struts 2.0.2, trunk.

I have an action (/listy/kodyPocztowe) that returns postal codes [id, name]
and another action that server a form (form points to the same action back).

How to define the initial value in the autocompleter field?
Even if I submit the form and it reloads with the same action, the
autocompleter does not display previously selected option.

I tried to use a javascript  (shown below) to debug it (print field names).
When an alert shows, in place of autocompleter I can see plain
textfield with resubmitted values (as expected), after alert messages
do finish it is replaced by the autocompleter widget - empty value,
nothing selected. the widget is loaded with options, but none is
selected.

Any hint how to solve this mistery?
What am I missing?


<script type="text/javascript">
 function filterKodPocztowy(field) {
   alert(field.name);
        return field.name == "kodPocztowy";
 }
</script>

<s:form id="calcForm" ...>
  [...]
  <s:url id="kodPocztowyURL" value="/listy/kodyPocztowe.action" />
  <s:autocompleter name="kodPocztowy"
        theme="ajax"
        href="%{kodPocztowyURL}"
        forceValidOption="true"
        formId="calcForm"
        formFilter="filterKodPocztowy"
        />
  [...]

  <s:submit .../>
</s:form
