Ldap autocomplete with Jquery

Here is my script

$(document).ready(function(){

        $("#responsable").autocomplete('/personquery');
        minLength: "3";


    });

And corresponding controller method:

    @RequestMapping(value ="/personquery",method= RequestMethod.GET)
 @ResponseBody public void getUids(HttpServletResponse response){

 String personList = null;
 List <Person> ldapUsers = ldap.getUids();
for (int i=0;i<ldapUsers.size();i++) {
    personList+=ldapUsers.get(i).getUid()+"\n";
    System.out.println(ldapUsers.get(i).getUid()+"\n");
}
    }

Anyhow, the script doesn't seem to call the controller method. The method can contain some faults too, since I've not been able to test it开发者_如何学运维. Any help?

It looks like you are using MVC.

We've done something similar in one of our projects. This seems to work:

The script initialises the autocomplete text box. It uses a service call to return a list of user names

$("#textBoxId").autocomplete({
    source: function (request, response) {
        $.ajax({
            url: '<%: Url.Action("GetADUsers", "ADUser") %>',
            dataType: "json",
            data: request,
            success: function (data) {
                response(data);
            }
        });
    }
});

Then our action method on the controller looks something like this:

public ActionResult GetADUsers(string term)
{
    List<string> users = SearchForUsers(term); //this is just a method that queries AD
    return new JsonResult() { Data = users.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet };
}
