ok, problem solved. Although I am still confused about how it works for other people. Here is what happened.
I tried to get my test page to look as close to http://example.irian.at/example-sandbox-20080129/inputSuggestAjax.jsf as possible, and it still didn't work even though the generated javascript code was practically identical. After reading dojo.js for a few hours I found that the responses are handled in the doLoad(e) function, where I placed a breakpoint. This breakpoint finally showed me what the difference between the example and my page was: my response was returned as two concatenated lists of strings, rather than a list of strings! This caused dj_eval("("+http.responseText+")") call in dojo.js to fail. Why was I getting two identical lists from the component instead of one? Well, turns out that AjaxDecodePhaseListener.beforePhase() was executed twice in the APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES phase. For that matter all of my phase listeners executed twice... This brings me to my current question - why would this component work for anyone else? The problem seems to lie in a JSF bug, so everyone should be effected. Here is why: The fault (in my opinion) lies in method feedClassloaderConfigurations() in org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator. This method is supposed to look for "META-INF/faces-config.xml" resource in all classloaders and then parse the found files. Now, if we have some jars, like let's say tomahawk-sandbox.jar in WEB-INF/lib, this jar will be visible to the WebAppClassloader AS WELL AS AppClassLoader. i.e. tomahawk-sandbox.jar will appear twice in the list of found resources, b/c it is visible to both classloaders. Since feedClassloaderConfigurations() does not check for duplicates, we end up with all configuration in "META-INF/faces-config.xml" resources applied twice. I solved this problem by overriding the StartupServletContextListener and removing the duplicate phase listeners from the lifecycle. <s:inputSuggestAjax> works fine now. Does this make sense or am I missing something?
