Question

I am using primefaces with JSF. I need a input component that allows users to submit upto 5 tags in a single input field just like the tags input field on stackOverflow. There must be also a functionality to suggest the tags(as the user starts typing) as it is available here.

I couldnt figure out a way to do so using Primefaces components. What could be a better way to achieve that ?

You can use jquery Autocomplete plugin for your purpose.

Example for you :

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#myID").autocomplete('/Urlthatreturns/results', { multiple: true,
           multipleSeparator: "," }).result(function (event, item) {
        });
    });
</script>
