hi all,

I am trying to use Struts 2 autocompleter tag to auto populate the list of names which i get from Database.
As soon as i am tying a character, its going to action and hitting the database but i am unable to see the data populating as dropdown.

Here's my code:

JSP code:

Action Class Code:

//Getters and setters

struts.xml code:[u][/u]

As soon as i start typing in the textbox , it hits the action class and goes to DB class and gets the arralylist and i am able to see the arraylist size as printout for each char i type in the searchbox of my jsp.
But i am unable to see the dropdown of the data. ( I have a column in DB table which i want to see as dropdown for each char i type)

Please help me where am i going wrong.

Thanks.

Please UseCodeTags when posting code or configuration. Unformatted code and configuration is very difficult to read. You can edit your post to include them by using the

I know the post is very old but it still shows up on search pages. So for anyone still looking for a solution.

In your xml file the param tag for result type json should return a json string.

"the output of the action must be a well formed JSON string."
