AutoSuggestControl in JSP ?

Hi all,

I am very interesting in implementing the AutoSuggest control.
The sample provided works fine on PHP, but I need to make this run in JSP environment.

Though I know how to convert most of the code, in suggestions.php
there is the following code :

Quote:

quote:
    //get the data that was posted
    $oData = $oJSON->decode($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);
    $aSuggestions = array();

    //make sure there's text
    if (strlen($oData->text) > 0) {

Is there a JSP equivalent for PHP's $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA ?

Cheers

I believe you can get an input stream from the request object, then wrap a reader around it (sorry, haven't done JSP in over a year). Something like:

Code:

InputStream stream = request.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader reader= new InputStreamReader(stream);
Reader in = new BufferedReader(reader);

Then, use the buffered reader to read in the contents. At least, that's my suspicion.
