Question

I just started using PrimeFaces and cannot figure what is wrong with my code. It is exactly the same as the show case sample with the exception of the bean names. I looked at this site for answers without success.

PrimeFaces:

<p:calendar value="#{securityForecastReturnBean.date}"
                    mode="inline" onSelectUpdate="inputsGrowl"
                    selectListener="#{securityForecastReturnBean.handleDateSelect}"
                    required="true" />

Java Bean:

@Component
@Scope("request")
@ManagedBean
public class SecurityForecastReturnBean {
public void handleDateSelect(DateSelectEvent event) {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        facesContext.addMessage(null,
                new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Date Selected",
                        format.format(event.getDate())));
    }

}

It should be really straightforward yet it is saying that my bean does not have this property??

Here is the exact error message:

javax.servlet.ServletException: /security_page.xhtml: The class 'com.ls.forecast.webui.beans.SecurityForecastReturnBean' does not have the property 'handleDateSelect'.
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:325)

I am using PrimeFaces 2.2.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I figured out my issue. It had to do with using the wrong namespace. I had to use http://primefaces.org/ui instead of the old one.
