PrimeFaces: Autocomplete using user dialog method

Hi there

I've created some workflows in Ivy 4.x, using the Web Page component in the designer. Most of the functionality was coded with jQuery.

Now I'd like to switch to Ivy 5. On my old workflow I used jQuery-UI autocomplete to get a list of organization units from our LDAP server. According to the PrimeFaces documentation there is a autocomplete tag. While there are examples on how to use the functions with a regular Java-environement, I couldn't figure out how to use it in Xpert.Ivy.

What I've got is an user-dialog, consisting of one start method and another method, which should retrieve the results from the LDAP server, based on the query-text in the input field.

I'd be happy if someone could explain to me, how I'd have to setup the autocomplete tag and what format my method has to return, in order for the autocomplete to work.

Thank you :) Ahatius
