Primefaces 自动完成错误 completeMethod

Question

I have a problem with primefaces autocomplete. The jsf page is as follow :

<h:inputText class="form-control" style="" for="villeRecherche"/>
<p:autoComplete id="villeRecherche"
value="#{rechercheRestoMb.selectedVille}"
completeMethod="#{rechercheRestoMb.completeVille}"
converter="convertisseurVille" var="c" itemLabel="#{c.ville}"
itemValue="#{c}" forceSelection="true" required="true" />

when the jsf is called I have this server 500 error:

javax.el.ELException: /corpsIndex.xhtml: The class 'fr.afcepf.al25.projetResto.managedBean.RechercheRestoMb' does not have the property 'completeVille'.

    javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:594)

My ManagedBean is RechercheRestoMb and it contains he method completeVille

If I insert public String completeVille with getters and setters I don't have the error but the autocomplete does not work.

Anyone has an idea for this problem?

javax.el.ELException: /corpsIndex.xhtml: The class 'fr.afcepf.al25.projetResto.managedBean.RechercheRestoMb' does not have the property 'completeVille'.

This exception means that the EL expression is being interpreted as a property value expression (which requires a getter method), not as a method expression. Basically, it couldn't find the getCompleteVille() method. However, you actually shouldn't need one. There's more at matter.

Look closer at the stack trace what happened during rendering:

com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.UIInstructions.encodeBegin(UIInstructions.java:82)
com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.UILeaf.encodeAll(UILeaf.java:183)
javax.faces.render.Renderer.encodeChildren(Renderer.java:168)

UILeaf > UIInstructions is the Facelets representation for EL in template text like so

<p>Welcome, #{user.name}</p>

This is unexpected as you declared the EL expression in a <p:autoComplete> component which should appear as org.primefaces.component.autocomplete.AutoComplete in that line. This thus means that the <p:xxx> tag library is not recognized and is interpreted as template text and thus remain unparsed during generating the HTML output. In effects, you're sending <p:autoComplete> plain vanilla to webbrowser instead of letting JSF generate its HTML output.

This in turn can have several causes, the most common being:

• You didn't install PrimeFaces (just drop JAR in /WEB-INF/lib ).
• You didn't declare its XML namespace (use xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui" ).
