primefaces does not have the property 'handleDateSelect'

I just started using PrimeFaces and cannot figure what is wrong with my code. It is exactly the same as the show case sample with the exception of the bean names. I looked at this site for answers without success.

PrimeFaces:

<p:calendar value="#{securityForecastReturnBean.date}"
                    mode="inline" onSelectUpdate="inputsGrowl"
                    selectListener="#{securityForecastReturnBean.handleDateSelect}"
                    required="true" />

Java Bean:

@Component
@Scope("request")
@ManagedBean
public class SecurityForecastReturnBean {
public void handleDateSelect(DateSelectEvent event) {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        facesContext.addMessage(null,
                new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Date Selected",
                        format.format(event.getDate())));
    }

}

It should be really straightforward yet it is saying that my bean does not have this property??

Here is the exact error message:

javax.servlet.ServletException: /security_page.xhtml: The class 'com.ls.forecast.webui.beans.SecurityForecastReturnBean' does not have the property 'handleDateSelect'.
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:325)

com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:139)
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:313)

I am using PrimeFaces 2.2.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The source code example given in the PrimeFaces Showcase is wrong. The method should not be taking org.primefaces.event.SelectEvent, it should be taking org.primefaces.event.DateSelectEvent. A quick change to the source code example now looks like this:

public void handleDateSelect(DateSelectEvent event) {  
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();  
    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("d/M/yyyy");  
    facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Date Selected", format.format(event.getDate())));  
}

I figured out my issue. It had to do with using the wrong namespace. I had to use http://primefaces.org/ui instead of the old one.

This looks like it might be an error in the documentation:

From the Primefaces Guide 2.2:

Ajax Selection Calendar supports instant ajax selection which means whenever a date is selected a server side selectListener can be invoked with an org.primefaces.event.DateSelectEvent instance as a parameter. Optional onSelectUpdate option allows updating other component(s) on page.

   <p:calendar value="#{calendarBean.date}" onSelectUpdate="messages"
       selectListener="#{calendarBean.handleDateSelect}" />
         <p:messages id="messages" />

    public void handleDateSelect(DateSelectEvent event) {
        Date date = event.getDate();
        //Add facesmessage
    }

Programatically it seems to expect a property on the managed bean. You can try changing it to this and see if it makes a difference #{calendarBean.handleDateSelect()}. Are you absolutely sure that you are not referencing handleDateSelect elsewhere in the markup?
