ADF Basics : Implementing auto suggest behavior in ADF Faces lov (lis

Auto Suggest behavior is best understand by Google

Instant, as in google when we type something and it
starts showing suggestion instantly.

 This effect can be implemented in ADF using autoSuggestBehaviour

To use the auto-suggest functionality in a declarative way you need to define a model-driven list
on your model project, which will be the base for the suggestedItems list. Select the Departmen
attribute from the Department VO and create a List of Values. here i am using HR schema and p
table Department to implement this

Create a Fusion Web Application

Now create EO and VO of Department table.(Business Components)

Hi Latha

When you drop an attribute as input lov then it's binding is created in page de
binding appears in expression builder
Which Jdev version you are using ?
Go to binding section of page and check that input lov binding is created or not

Thank You Ashish. I rectified the error. I am using this in ADF Table so instead of
should choose row.bindings.

First drop autoSuggestBehavior tag in lov then check it in bindings and expand
lov binding , there you will see suggestedItems

You need to refer lov model from outside of table , add lov binding to page and t
{bindings.PenTypVal.suggesteditems} referring that LOV Binding

Hi Ashish,

There is an attribute to set maxSuggestedItems where we can set max No of suggested It

Is there a way to set min suggested items to some 20 if available

Hi Aashish,

My scenario is such that I have viewobject MaterVO and I have another VO lovVO from
values are fetched. lovVO returns two values id and name. Now if i create LOV on one
MasterVO let suppose as as name and store id in backend db o form submit but display
lovVO then auto suggest behaviour is working if search for ids and not for names.
