booking-faces sample app and PrimeFaces autoComplete

[redparham]

I'm running the booking-faces sample that ships with WebFlow 2.3.1 - already uses PrimeFaces component library.

Now I'm trying to incorporate the PrimeFaces autoComplete component and I cannot get it to work. The component loads on the page but no suggestions appear when I type into it. The suggestions are supposed to come from my backing bean. I've put a breakpoint in my backing bean method and it never hits.

Can anyone help?

I opened the Chrome JavaScript console to see what requests/responses were flowing and found the following response returned whenever I typed into the autoComplete field:

<partial-response><error><error-name>class com.sun.faces.context.FacesFileNotFoundException</error-name>
<error-message><![CDATA[/WEB-INF/WEB-INF/test.xhtml Not Found in ExternalContext as a Resource]]></error-message></error></partial-response>

Any ideas where things are broken? Thanks.

PrimeFaces version: 3.1.1
JSF version: Mojarra 2.1.7-jbossorg-2 (20120412-0335)
AppServer: Jboss AS 7.1.2
Spring framework version: 3.1.1
Spring WebFlow version: 2.3.1

I added an EL resolver to my faces-config.xml (I'm assuming this is necessary; why was it not in there already??):

<application>
	<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
	<message-bundle>JsfMessageResources</message-bundle>
</application>

Here's a snippet from test.xhtml

<h:form>
   <p:growl id="messages" showDetail="true" />
   <p:autoComplete value="#{scheduleBean.text}" completeMethod="#{scheduleBean.complete}" />
</h:form>

And here's my bean:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;

@Component
@Scope(WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_SESSION)
public class ScheduleBean {

    private String text;

    public ScheduleBean() {
    }

    public List<String> complete(String query) {
   List<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
   for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
       results.add(query + i);
   return results;
    }

    public String getText() {
   return text;
    }

    public void setText(String text) {
   this.text = text;
    }
}
