Issue:
Datatable: Default filter feature broken in showcase with PF15
### Describe the bug

While doing some manual testing for the JS refactor PR, I noticed the default filter feature from the showcase is broken and throws an exception.

### Reproducer

* Fetch the lastest state of the master branch (I used ccfd6d682d8041fd01a7af50c0fdaadde91e8d10), start the showcase and goto the data table filter feature page: http://localhost:8081/showcase/ui/data/datatable/filter.xhtml
* Scroll down to `Default Filter`
* Attempt to use any of the filter. E.g. I clicked in the filter at the top of the `Country` column and entered `Spain`

This results in a generic error page with the following stacktrace:

```

### Expected behavior

No error page should show up, the filter should be applied to the database.  Not sure if PF or the showcase needs to be updated. It works in the [current PF 14 showcase](https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/data/datatable/filter.xhtml)
