Primefaces 2.2 does it like this

<p:autoComplete value="#{autoCompleteBean.selectedPlayer}" completeMethod="#{autoCompleteBean.completePlayer}" var="player" itemLabel="#{player.name}" itemValue="#{player}" converter="player"/>

However there appears to be issues trying to observe on change events.

>    <h:outputText value="#{_a.name}" />
> </rich:autocomplete>
> Given the above code the fetchValue which is placed in the generated inputText box is what is actually submitted with the form.
> To support POJO selects what is needed is to have a value and a valueLabel so that the fetchValue can be displayed to the user but the acutal converted object value is submitted to the form.
