Question

I’m using JSP in implementing auto-complete using Solr, I’m using the following code in order to retrieve a list of terms:

SolrQuery query = new SolrQuery();
query.addTermsField("name_auto");
query.setTerms(true); 
query.setTermsPrefix(TEXTFIELD VALUE);

... 

I’ve to retrieve the list of terms based on the value of the text field (the Prefix)(ex:”k”), also, I’ve to update this list for each key press.

I followed this link:
http://www.mattweber.org/2009/05/02/solr-autosuggest-with-termscomponent-and-jquery/

and I’m using those JQuery files: (it the same founded in Google library)
http://jquery.com/

cause I tried this code but the problem is how can I write the URL so I can do a remote data source to my auto-Complete???

Thanks

Ok, Thank u all, I fix my prblem using JQueryUI files and tutorials, this my code:

$(function() {
$( MYTEXTFIELDNAME ).autocomplete({
   source: function( request, response ) {
     $.ajax({
           url: 'http://localhost:8080/solr/terms?terms=true&terms.fl=MYAUTOFIELD&terms.prefix=' 
                +request.term+'&wt=json',
     dataType: "json",
     data: {
       style: "full",
       maxRows: 5,
       name_startsWith: request.term
      },

      success: function( data ) {
     response( $.map( data.terms.MYAUTOFIELD, function( item ) {
      return {
        label: item,
        value: item,
             }
    }));
    }
         });
     },
      minLength: 1,
.... 

the remaining code is as described in http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote

thanks again.
