Primefaces autocomplete ajax SelectEvent - ajax

Question

I'm new to java and primefaces. I am using autocomplete within datatable.
With the autocomplete I select the product, I use ajax, to update the price of the product in "MovtosBean.UpdatePrice".The "item" object in MovtosBean.UpdatePrice, returns the "null" value that the selected product should return.
Where do I have the error?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

converter="omnifaces.SelectItemsConverter" looks up items in component's f:selectItems. That's not p:autoComplete - it doesn't have f:selectItems. You need to provide a different converter (seems like you have entities here, so create a converter that does EntityManager#find or getReference). Or no converter, if you just want strings.
