I was looking at your code and I am by no means an expert in Hibernate Search, but why is it necessary to have the following? @Datamodel | List<Object[]> searchResults; In your view logic you reference "person", and your error is exactly about that. "/application/personensuche.xhtml: value of context variable is not an instance of the component bound to the context variable: person" | My ignorant advice is: Try to refactor your code to get rid of that List of Object arrays. Maybe create a List by converting the search result into such a list? I am sorry, I cannot help you properly, but maybe that stupid idea will help you after all.
