Hi,

This is a rich:suggestion box example. When I type a letter into the text box, suggestionAction is not being fired, autocomplete method is not being called.

could you please let me know what is wrong with this code.

Beanclass:

public class SuggestBean implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    List<String>   authors = new ArrayList<String>();
    private String text;

public String getText() {
        return text;
    }

public void setText(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    }

public SuggestBean() {
        super();
        authors.add("Author1");
        authors.add("Author2");
        authors.add("Author3");
        authors.add("Author4");
        System.out.println("authors created:" + authors);
    }

public List<String> autocomplete(Object suggest) {
        System.out.println("autocomplete method called: " + suggest);
        List<String> suggestions = new ArrayList<String>();
        String pref = (String) suggest;

        System.out.println("returning suggestions: " + suggestions);
        return suggestions;
