Could you please help me to correct my code

thank you

I'm not sure but I think there's something wrong between getMaliste() and getMesElements().
Try to use this method:

and change
to

Hello
thanks for the answer
I still want to ask your help if possible when I select the menu item how I can insert it into another table son

I explain - idauteur (Menu) is a primary key in table 'author' (with which I completed) and a foreign key in table 'book'- how I can insert the selected value from the menu on the table' book '

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thank you

Do you have any working code to add 'author' and 'book' to database? Show me if you have. It will be easier to say if I can help you.
Also show me your 'author' class and 'book' class.

Here is the code to add 'author'

here are the two class

the class diagram are not many things to view
cardinalities between class UML '

author '1'---------------book '1...*'

what I need is how to insert an item selected by menu in the table book

Using entity classes and accessing database with EntityManager would be more elegant and safer. Managing relations would be easier.
Strange usage of managed beans. I'm not familiar with what you're doing here.
