JSF - Primefaces Autocomplete onselect event listener not working - Methodnotfound Exception

Question

Project Specificiation: JSF 2.1.2, Primefaces-Mobile 0.9.5, Primefaces 3.5 I'm trying to implement auto-complete feature of primefaces with instant ajax selection, below is the code:

<pm:content>
                <p:panel header="header1" toggleable="true" id="panel1">
                    <h:form>
                        <p:autoComplete value="#{analyzerFilterInput.ipAddress}"
                            completeMethod="#{analyzerFilterInput.getIpAddrList}">
                            <p:ajax event="itemSelect"
                                listener="analyzerFilterInput.handleSelect" update="msg" />
                        </p:autoComplete>
                        <p:messages id="msg" />
                    </h:form>
                </p:panel>
                <p:panel header="header2" toggleable="true" id="panel2">
                </p:panel>
            </pm:content>

View-Scoped Class AnalyzerFilterInput

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

import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;

import org.primefaces.event.SelectEvent;

public class AnalyzerFilterInput implements Serializable
{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String ipAddress;
private List<String> ipAddrs;

    public AnalyzerFilterInput()
    {
        ipAddrs = new ArrayList<String>();
    }

    public String getIpAddress()
    {
        return ipAddress;
    }

    public void setIpAddress(String ipAddress)
    {
        this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
    }
public List<String> getIpAddrList(String query){
        ipAddrs.clear();
        ipAddrs.add("192.168.1.1");
        ipAddrs.add("192.168.1.2");
        ipAddrs.add("192.168.1.3");
        return ipAddrs;
    }

    public void handleSelect(SelectEvent event) {
        Object item = event.getObject();
        FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Selected", "Item:" + item);
        }
}

I'm getting an Methodnotfound exception, can someone help me in resolving this?

I could find Listening to onSelect events from Autocomplete (Primefaces) component related to my issue, but there is no selectlistener attribute for primefaces autocomplete in 3.5 release.

is listener="analyzerFilterInput.handleSelect" a typo or that's what you really have in your code? You know you're supposed to have `listener="#{analyzerFilterInput.handleSelect}" right? — kolossus
@kolossus I tried with listener="#{analyzerFilterInput.handleSelect}" but i still get the same error. — FiendFyre

You need bean and scope annotations in order to get access to the bean :

@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped,@ViewScoped...
