i dont how to configure applicationContext.xml, web.xml, faces-config.xml, and i don’t know if i have missed jar .

i have this error :

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /index.xhtml @14,50
value=”#{customer.lists}”: Property ‘lists’ not found on type
comtic.scrum.managedBean.CustomerBean

Answer 1

Is all that Spring/Hibernate/XML code really necessary to demonstrate the problem? You’d have exactly the same problem when having only a XHTML file and a managed bean class without all that Spring/Hibernate/XML noise. Learn to isolate the problem into 1 or 2 pages. Your question is nearly 10 pages long …

Anyway, the exception which you got

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /index.xhtml @14,50 value=”#{customer.lists}”: Property ‘lists’ not found on type comtic.scrum.managedBean.CustomerBean

is just trying to tell you that the CustomerBean class is missing the getter method getLists(). Add it and make sure that it returns a List<Customer>.

public List<Customer> getLists() {
    return lists;
}

---

Unrelated to the concrete problem, the plural s in the property name is by the way strange. It returns only one list, right? If I were you, I’d rename it to #{customer.list} with a getList() getter.
