Symfony2 custom repository class

Question

I am new to symfony2 and I am trying to create custom repository class and couldn' do it.

Here is what I am doing:

I added annotation to entity class ( MobilePhones )

@ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Maak\DefaultBundle\Entity\MobilePhonesRepository")

In MobilePhonesRepository I created my custom function named findAllMobilePhones()
In controller I called function using:

$em->getRepository('MaakDefaultBundle:MobilePhones')->findAllMobilePhones();

but I get Undefined method findAllMobilePhones(), I have cleared cache and tried but same error. What is wrong?

My repository class:

<?php

namespace Maak\DefaultBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;

class MobilePhonesRepository extends EntityRepository
{
    public function findAllMobilePhones()
    {
        return $this->getEntityManager()->createQuery('SELECT p FROM AcmeStoreBundle:Product p ORDER BY p.name ASC') ->getResult();
    }
}

What does echo get_class($em->getRepository('MaakDefaultBundle:MobilePhones')) return? Can you also provide the classfile for MobilePhonesRepository? — Sean
<?php namespace Maak\DefaultBundle\Entity; use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository; class MobilePhonesRepository extends EntityRepository { public function findAllMobilePhones() { return $this->getEntityManager() ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM AcmeStoreBundle:Product p ORDER BY p.name ASC') ->getResult(); } } — Khalid Mushtaq
This is actually Doctrine 2 related, so you should tag your question with doctrine2 to get max exposure. Also can you put your Repository code in the question so it's easily readable. — Bram Gerritsen
Are you 100% sure you have cleared the metadata cache? Your annotation is looking good and if customRepositoryName is set in your metadata there will be an exception if it cannot be instanciated correctly. If it is still not working put a var_dump($metadata) in the EntityManager on line 750 and show us the output. — Bram Gerritsen

Thanks to all guys for their time. Finally I have found the issue.

I decided to debug whole project and found repository-class was not being set in XMLDriver that was going to set customRepositoryName in metadata. It was because I was using XML mappings and for this entity I was providing repositoryClass using Annotations.

Thank again :)
