Description

following the example code from the 2.0.11 distro located at /struts/struts-2.0.11/docs/docs/autocompleter.html
I could not get the autocompleter to work with notifyTopic and listenTopic
from this example

<p>Linking two autocompleters:</p>
<form id="selectForm">
<sx:autocompleter name="select" list="

{'fruits','colors'}

" valueNotifyTopics="/changed" />
</form>
<sx:autocompleter href="%

{jsonList}

" formId="selectForm" listenTopics="/changed"/>

even when I define a url specification for jsonList such as
<s:url value="jsonList">

there is a very large example that musachy created for beforeNotifyTopic, afterNotifyTopic, errorNotifyTopic and valueNotifyTopic
unfortunately the missing method findString will prevent anyone from using the anything from the example

the examples also use s: instead of sx: ..(should standardise either on using s: or sx: for struts-tags references)

doc should be re-worked to separate Javascript functionality from Action based method functionality
