We have Web (
JSP) application and requirement is to implement selection using c
ombo box or
list box of value from a large list (commune list) which has 5000+ records.
Another requirement is to implement same sort of incremental search or autocomplete search.
Commune list is accessible via
JDBC or as web service via URL which returns XML.
The problem is that if we use simple HTML combo box all data from the list must be transferred to browser and this degrades performance when refreshing page.
We found dhtmlxCombo component (
http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxCombo/index.shtml), which has nice features, but have slightly unusual user experience.
Does somebody suggests some other component or
pattern to achieve this functionality?

Saso
