Hello everybody,

I am using for my project Struts 2 and Hibernate/Spring dependency injection. My project is just a simple CRUD application. I am trying to implement an autocomplete search of data in the database, but I am not sure which is the most appropriate approach using the above framewors(I am new to them). If anyone can point me to a working example using the framewors or give me any ideas.

Thank you.

MJ

I'd use an existing implementation, like jQuery's or equivalent, rather than writing one.

Wait, ORM forum? That's a bit off. Moving.

My personal favourites are the Struts Autocompleter and the AjaxTags Autocomplete.

(If you're talking about the S2 jQuery tags, okay, but if we're talking about the Dojo tags, they're deprecated, are not supported, and use a *very* old version of Dojo. I cannot recommend them.)

David, I agree with what you said. Actually, between the two I mentioned I mostly use the AjaxTags. I went with Ajaxtags because it is a technology that was currently being used where I work. For someone looking for an autocompleter there are a lot of choices out there so just do your research and pick one that your comfortable with.

Thank you,
Now, I know where to start.
I will try the Struts Autocompleter first and If I get the time JQuery tags.

Hi Sunil,

you can try this:

Maybe this helps you out.

this is the article i'm trying to follow:
tutorial-create-autocomplete-feature-with-java-jsp-jquery



This is how my hibernate code look like:

List<Pazienti> taList = sessionh.createQuery("from Pazienti").list();
Iterator<Pazienti> itr = taList.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
Pazienti ta = itr.next();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
String surn = ta.getPaz_cognome();
PrintStream out = null;
out.println(surn);
}
}


Unfortunately I'm getting something like this:
net.lupo.contact.model.Pazienti@9c939

how do I have to iterate on the list to retrieve a list of username like this ?
