[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (RF-4217) suggestionbox does not work

suggestionbox does not work --------------------------- Key: RF-4217 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4217 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: Operating System: Ubuntu 8.04 Java version 1.6 Application Server: Jetty 6.1.1 (running via Maven 2.0.8) Faces implementation: MyFaces 1.2.0 with Facelets 1.1.11 Browser: Firefox 3.0 (also tried from an Internet Explorer 6 machine) Reporter: BC Holmes Assignee: Alexander Dubovsky Attachments: suggestionbox.zip I've tried three scenarios: 1) I added a new page to an existing application (which uses the above software). The new page is the first page to use a suggestionbox. When I type characters in the input box, the suggestionbox does not appear, and no suggestions are proposed. 2) I've created a simple two-page application using the above environment. When I type characters in the input box, the suggestionbox does not appear, and no suggestions are proposed. (I've zipped this simple application up and will attach to this 3) I've put the sample/suggestionbox into the above environment (Minus facelets) and tried to get the suggestionbox to work. When I type characters in the input box, the suggestionbox does not appear, and no suggestions are proposed. Based on my own investigations, it appears that: a) the JavaScript is invoked, and an Ajax request is sent to the server, and the server receives the request b) the backing bean (which is request-scope) does not get constructed c) the view state appears to restore successfully and the suggestionbox component is referenced. c) debugging some of the MyFaces code, it seems like the Invoke Application phase calls the broadcastEvents(FacesContext,PhaseId), but there are no events and so the backing bean's action method is not invoked.
