Unable to Use Repository Class in Symfony2 with MongoDB

Question

Hi i am getting this error while i am calling a custom function defined inside my repository class in Symfony

Code In Repo Class

class TaskRepository extends DocumentRepository
{

public function searchByFirstLetter($letter)
{

    $query = $this->getDocumentManager()            
    ->createQuery('SELECT u FROM WorkStackTaskBundle:Users u WHERE u.name LIKE :name')
    ->setParameter('name', $letter.'%');
    try {
    return $query->getResult();
    } catch (\Doctrine\ODM\NoResultException $e) {
    return null;
    }}

Code In Controller $getasllusers = dm->getRepository('WorkStackTaskBundle:Users')->searchByFirstLetter($_GET['keyword']);

But i am getting following error.

Undefined method 'searchByFirstLetter'. The method name must start with either findBy or findOneBy! strong text Please suggest what might be wrong.

Thanks Advance

You should define your custom repository class in two locations

/**
 * @MongoDB\Document(repositoryClass="Work\StackTaskBundle\Repository\UserRepository")
 */
class Users

And in

# src/Work/StackTaskBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
_repository:
    class: Work\StackTaskBundle\Repository\UserRepository
    factory_service: doctrine_mongodb.odm.document_manager
    factory_method:  getRepository
    arguments: ["Work\StackTaskBundle\Document\Users"]
