java - How to get correct data from JQuery Auto Complete when multiple data are sent? -

i trying imeplement auto complete feature in web application. data loaded autocomplete features server. using jquery autocomplete purpose - http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#remote-jsonp

below jquery code

$(document).ready(function() {     $(function() {         $("#adddrugtxt").autocomplete({             source: function(request, response) {                 $.ajax({                     url: "autocomplete",                     type: "post",                     data: { term: request.term },                      datatype: "json",                      success: function(data) {                         response(data);                     }                });                           },             minlength: 2,              select: function( event, ui ) {         log( "selected: " + ui.item.label );       }         });         $( "#adddrugtxt" ).autocomplete( "option", "appendto", ".form-horizontal" );     }); });  function log( message ) {       document.getelementbyid("brandtxt").value = message;        alert("damn");     } 

below java code provides data jquery code.

public class autocomplete extends httpservlet {      private final list<string> druglist = new arraylist<string>();     int iduser=0;      @override     public void init()     {       }      /**      * processes requests both http <code>get</code> , <code>post</code>      * methods.      *      * @param request servlet request      * @param response servlet response      * @throws servletexception if servlet-specific error occurs      * @throws ioexception if i/o error occurs      */     protected void processrequest(httpservletrequest request, httpservletresponse response)             throws servletexception, ioexception {         response.setcontenttype("text/html;charset=utf-8");         printwriter out = response.getwriter();          iduser=integer.parseint(request.getsession(false).getattribute("userid").tostring());           try {              druglist.clear();             drugnamestable table = new drugnamestable();             list<drugnamesbean> drugnames = table.getdrugnames(iduser);             system.out.println("drug names taken");            // map real data json          response.setcontenttype("application/json");          final string param = request.getparameter("term");         final list<autocompletedata> result = new arraylist<autocompletedata>();         (final drugnamesbean data: drugnames) {             if (data.getdrugname().tolowercase().startswith(param.tolowercase())) {                 result.add(new autocompletedata(string.valueof(data.getiddrugname()), data.getdrugname()));             }           }         response.getwriter().write(new gson().tojson(result));         } {             out.close();         }     } } 

in above java code used bean called autocompletedata. it's code below.

public class autocompletedata {      private final string label;     private final string value;      public autocompletedata(string _label, string _value) {         super();         this.label = _label;         this.value = _value;     }      public final string getlabel() {         return this.label;     }      public final string getvalue() {         return this.value;     }  } 

however want display autocompletedata._value when auto complete suggestions coming up. unfortunately autocompletedata._label.

of course autocompletedata._label important me because need dynamically change id of adddrugtxt.

how can fix issue?

answer simply. had below.

autocompletedata {      private final string label;     private final string value;     private string id;      public autocompletedata(string _label, string _value, string _id) {         super();         this.label = _label;         this.value = _value;         this.id = _id;     }      public final string getlabel() {         return this.label;     }      public final string getvalue() {         return this.value;     }      /**      * @return id      */     public string getid() {         return id;     }   } 

then in autocomplete.java sent drug name in both 2 parameters , id in last parameter.

result.add(new autocompletedata(data.getdrugname(),data.getdrugname(),string.valueof(data.getiddrugname()))); 

in jquery easy take other values this..

 select: function( event, ui ) {         log(ui.item.id );       }
