function not getting called in autocomplete jsf

I am new to jsf and trying to implement autocomplete box.

So here is what i did.

home.xhtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
    xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
     <h:form>
        <rich:autocomplete mode="ajax"  layout="table" autocompleteMethod="#{searchCity.searchCityByMatchChar}" autocompleteList="#{searchCity.listOfCity}" 
            var="city" fetchValue="#{city.cityName}">
            <rich:column>
                #{city.cityName} 
            </rich:column>
        </rich:autocomplete>
    </h:form>
</ui:composition>

SearchCity.java

package com.cheapesto.cheapbilly.model;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;

import com.cheapesto.cheapbilly.dto.City;


@ManagedBean(name = "searchCity")
@SessionScoped
public class SearchCity {
    private List<City> listOfCity;
    public List<City> getListOfCity() {
        return listOfCity;
    }

    public void setListOfCity(List<City> listOfCity) {
        this.listOfCity = listOfCity;
    }

    public List<City> searchCityByMatchCharforauto() {
        City city1 = new City();
        city1.setCityId(1l);
        city1.setCityName("New York");

        City city2 = new City();
        city2.setCityId(1l);
        city2.setCityName("New Jesrsey");

        City city3 = new City();
        city3.setCityId(1l);
        city3.setCityName("Seattle");

        List<City> listOfCity = new ArrayList<City>();
        listOfCity.add(city1);
        listOfCity.add(city2);
        listOfCity.add(city3);

        return listOfCity;
     }
}

faces-config.xml

<faces-config
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">


</faces-config>

I am getting error as :

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces Servlet] in context with path [/MyFirstFaces] threw exception [/faces/home.xhtml: Property 'searchCityByMatchChar' not found on type com.cheapesto.cheapbilly.model.SearchCity] with root cause
javax.el.ELException: /faces/home.xhtml: Property 'searchCityByMatchChar' not found on type com.cheapesto.cheapbilly.model.SearchCity

    at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.UILeaf.encodeAll(UILeaf.java:179)
    at javax.faces.render.Renderer.encodeChildren(Renderer.java:164)

I am not getting why it is considering method as a property. can someone please help me with correct changes and explanation.

RichFaces is not properly installed. Your RichFaces tag is basically interpreted as plain text, which is recognizable as UIInstructions in the stack trace:

at com.sun.faces.facelets.compiler.UIInstructions.encodeBegin(UIInstructions.java:78)

It's essentially the same problem as when you would do e.g.

<p>#{searchCity.searchCityByMatchChar}</p>

EL in template text is by default resovled as a property value expression, requiring a getter method.

Verify if you installed RichFaces right. It are 7 JAR files in /WEB-INF/lib.

There is not method searchCityByMatchChar on your bean. It's called searchCityByMatchCharforauto. This may be the root cause of your error.
