I attempt to create a string variable to a setter() that is used as query property
What am I missing in the procedure to implement a simple query on the database?
It stops here.

searchList1 = java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime() ? java.util.Collections.emptyList() : 

searchQuery1.getResultList();
@Action
    public Task searchSplash() {
        
         if (searchJComboBox1.getSelectedItem().equals("by Artist")) {
            String like = searchJTextField1.getText();
            String partial=("SELECT c FROM content c WHERE c.artist LIKE \"%" + like + "%

\"");
            setSearchQueryString(partial.toString()); 
            searchQuery1=searchEntityManager1.createQuery(getSearchQueryString());
            searchQuery1.setParameter("like", "searchJTextField1.getText()");
            List<Content> contents = searchQuery1.getResultList();
            
            //searchJTextField1.setText(getSearchQuery());

        }
        if (searchJComboBox1.getSelectedItem().equals("by Song")) {
            String like = searchJTextField1.getText();
            String partial=("SELECT c FROM content c WHERE c.song LIKE \"%" + like + "%

\"");
            setSearchQueryString(partial.toString()); 
            searchQuery1=searchEntityManager1.createQuery(getSearchQueryString());
            searchQuery1.setParameter("like", "searchJTextField1.getText()");
            List<Content> contents = searchQuery1.getResultList();
            
            //searchJTextField1.setText(getSearchQuery());

        }
        return new SearchSplashTask(getApplication());
    }
     private class SearchSplashTask extends Task {

        SearchSplashTask(org.jdesktop.application.Application app) {
            super(app);
        }
