According to error message indicates that the search method is giving NULL

which is this method here

public void pesquisar() {
    pedidosFiltrados = pedidos.filtrados(filtro);
}

And this is Bean class

package com.algaworks.pedidovenda.controller;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;

import com.algaworks.pedidovenda.model.Pedido;
import com.algaworks.pedidovenda.model.StatusPedido;
import com.algaworks.pedidovenda.repository.Pedidos;
import com.algaworks.pedidovenda.repository.filter.PedidoFilter;

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class PesquisaPedidosBean implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Inject
    private Pedidos pedidos;

    private PedidoFilter filtro;
    private List<Pedido> pedidosFiltrados;

    public PesquisaPedidosBean() {
        filtro = new PedidoFilter();
        pedidosFiltrados = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    public void pesquisar() {

        pedidosFiltrados = pedidos.filtrados(filtro);

    }

    public StatusPedido[] getStatuses() {
        return StatusPedido.values();
    }

    public List<Pedido> getPedidosFiltrados() {
        return pedidosFiltrados;
    }

    public PedidoFilter getFiltro() {
        return filtro;
    }

}

am open to suggestions.

Answer 1

I found the problem, it was only the issue of the annotation that was not in the CDI standard

@Named
@ViewScoped
public class PesquisaPedidosBean implements Serializable {
