What is the difference between rich:autocomplete and rich:suggestionbox

Question

I've been searching the web but I found no clear explanations. I am trying to find out what is the difference between the rich:autocomplete and rich:suggestionbox functionalities.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Answer 1

<rich:autocomplete> is a richfaces 4 component and <rich:suggestionBox> is a richfaces 3 component. As described in the richfaces 3 to richfaces 4 migration guide, <rich:autocomplete> combines the features of <rich:suggestionBox> and <rich:comboBox> components from richfaces 3.
