Symfony 2 Entity Field

I am getting error when I am using following entity type field, It is showing me select field fine but when I am trying to save it it is giving me following error

Code 1:

        ->add('agentFirstname', 'entity', array(
            'class' => 'AcmeClientBundle:Client',
            'property' => 'firstName',
        ))

Error 1: Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class Acme\ClientBundle\Entity\Client could not be converted to string

When I am using second code then everything is working fine

Code 2:

           ->add('agentFirstname', 'text', array(
                    )
            )

Error 2: No Error

Please find my entity bellow

    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="agent_firstname", type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $agentFirstname;

I want to make select field here for client first name entity which is here

    /**
     * @var string
     */
    private $firstName;

Symfony cannot access the $firstName property as its visibility is private.

You need to add a getFirstName() method to your Acme\ClientBundle\Entity\Client class.

public function getFirstName()
{
    return $this->firstName;
}

Now change your form code to:

->add('agentFirstname', 'entity', array(
    'class' => 'AcmeClientBundle:Client', 'property' => 'getFirstName'
))
