Method not found using JPA

Question

I created a method for autocomplete. However when I invoke this method it is not found, follow below error:

    Advertência: /pessoal/cadastrar.xhtml @35,186 completeMethod="#{pessoalController.lookupFornecedores}": Method not found: [e-mail](java.lang.String)
    javax.el.MethodNotFoundException: /pessoal/cadastrar.xhtml @35,186 completeMethod="#{pessoalController.lookupFornecedores}": Method not found: [e-mail](java.lang.String)

Follow method in my DAO:

Interface:

List lookupFornecedores();

Implementation of the DAO:

@Override
public List<Fornecedores> lookupFornecedores() {

    Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT f.razao FROM br.com.constran.modelo.Fornecedores f WHERE f.razao LIKE :fornecedor ");

    List<Fornecedores> fornecedores = query.getResultList();

    return fornecedores;
}
}

Follows Service layer:

Interface: List lookupFornecedores();

Implementation of the interface:

@Autowired
private PessoalDAO pessoalDAO;

@Override
public List<Fornecedores> lookupFornecedores() {
    List<Fornecedores> fornecedores = pessoalDAO.lookupFornecedores();
    return fornecedores;
}

Follow my method in my controller:

private Pessoal pessoal;
private List<Pessoal> pessoals;

@Autowired
private PessoalService pessoalService;

public String lookupFornecedores(){

   fornecedores = pessoalService.lookupFornecedores();

    return "";

}

Does anyone have any idea why the method is not being found?

Answer 1

The Primefaces Autocomplete requires a String parameter.

In your case it should be something like: lookupFornecedores(String valorDigitado){}
