refresh page with new data

[Steinboch roicho]

Hi, I have a form that request a name, age and sex;
this data is passed to a backing bean named Person and then is is save in a database;

Then I made and listener that checks if the name(while typing) written in the inputText is all ready in database.
the listener is works, It returns the object Person from db;

but my question is: how do I refresh the bage with the new data, meaning the name, age and sex to be completed with the data taken from db?

I use richfaces, but if you know for jsf or another way please tell me.

thank you

You want an autocomplete component, I have experience with the PrimeFaces <p:autoComplete>
component and it works for me. See www.primefaces.orgfor more details. I have no
connection with PrimeFaces other than to be an independent developer.

It seems scary to plumb in a new component library as a new JSF developer but the alternative
(loads of JavaScript, timeouts etc...) is far worse. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is
to get working.

Regards,
Brendan.

I don't need an autocomplet, I need my page to be completed with my new data found in db.
And I have to use richfaces, thanks for the site, I didn't know about primefaces.
