Prevent suggestionbox from performing too much Ajax requests via "cache" of a previous requested suggestion list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-573 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-573 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 3.0.1 Reporter: Brian Preu? Assigned To: Alex Skokov Fix For: 3.2.0 It would be very useful to prevent the suggestionbox from performing too many Ajax requests to the server via some sort of cache mechanism, which uses the already requested suggestion list. An example: 1. type a "h" 2. suggestionbox performs Ajax request 3. server responds with a list of 20 entries beginning with "h" 4. type an "i", so that the input box has the value "hi" 5. instead of performing another Ajax request query the already existing list of 20 entries beginning with "h" 6. suggestionbox displays all entries beginning with "hi" from the existing list in the DOM tree 7. and so on This would save a lot of bandwidth and server resources by using the resources of the client browser. Certainly there should be a switch to turn on and off this cache feature. Maybe there are some other options that can be added for this kind of functionality. Cool feature, ain't it? :D
