Auto complete or recent user entries in Java Webdynpro application

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement from a customer who wants to know if there is a way we can access a particular user's recent entries in particular fields, similar to how auto complete works in either Internet Explorer or Firefox.

This needs to be done through Java Webdynpro without a database read. Is there any way this can be done either through cookies or java script or any other web service? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Cookies and Javasript handling is done by the framework in Webdynrpo.

If your requirement can be satisfied by using portal Work Protected Mode. Try to make use of that.

Hi Ayyapparaj,

What does Work Protected Mode in portal do?

Hi Ayyapparaj,

My requirement is not actually to enforce saving of data, but rather to prepopulate, or allow the option of reusing old data previously entered. This should work similar to auto complete in Internet Explorer, where if you've type in say, "Engine" into Google, if auto complete is turned on, the next time you type "e", "Engine" will appear as an option. This reduces the key strokes a user has to perform to actually input this value. Do you know if this can be done in Webdynpro?
