How to get selected value in jQuery autocompleter

I am using jQuery auto completer and getting the values from a jsp.When i specify some source i can use the following code to get the selected value.

   $("#autocomplete").autocomplete({
        source: source,
        select: function (event, ui) {
            alert(ui.item.value);
        }
    });

When i use like this 

 $("#query").autocomplete("list.jsp");

It is not the way you are thinking.source must mentioned to get the input values list from jsp.After selection of item there is no matter of source.You have to handle the select event to get the correct value.you want to know which item has been selected 

 $("#autocomplete").autocomplete({
        source: source,
        select: function (event, ui) {
             var val= ui.item.value;
             //Do some thing  here if user selects right value 
        }
    });

See to map source :

<script>
$(function() {
    $("#jquery_from_ob").autocomplete({
        source: "getblocks.jsp",
        minLength: 2,
    });
});
</script>

 $( "#query" ).autocomplete({
           source: "list.jsp",
           minLength: 2
