## En el Controller

Inyectar el Services, agregar el handleSelect(SelectEvent event).

```java
 @Inject
    PaisServices paisServices;

    Pais paisSelected;




     public PaisServices getPaisServices() {
        return paisServices;
    }

    public void setPaisServices(PaisServices paisServices) {
        this.paisServices = paisServices;
    }

     public Pais getPaisSelected() {
        return paisSelected;
    }

    public void setPaisSelected(Pais paisSelected) {
        this.paisSelected = paisSelected;
    }




     public void handleSelect(SelectEvent event) {
        try {
            paisList.removeAll(paisList);
            paisList.add(paisSelected);
            paisFiltered = paisList;
            paisDataModel = new PaisDataModel(paisList);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            JsfUtil.errorMessage("handleSelect() " + ex.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
    }}
```

## En la página xhtml

Pasamos el parametro field con el nombre del atributo del entity por el que deseamos buscar

```
  <f:attribute name="field" value="idpais" />
```

```java
 <p:outputLabel value="#{app['info.by']} #{msg['field.idpais']}"/>
