I just ran into this same thing while following the examples in the Force.com Developer Guide in Chapter 9.

 

In my case, the related list isn't called "Job_Application__r".  It's some long number.  Here's how I found it:

 

1. Go to Setup | Create | Objects

2. Select the Job Application custom object

3. Under "Custom Fields and Relationships", select Position

4. You should see four (4) sections within "Custom Field Definition Detail":

 

  • Field Information
  • General Options
  • Master-Detail Options
  • Lookup Filter Options (BETA)


5. Under "Master-Detail Options", to the right of Related To Position you should see Child Relationship Name.

In my case, that Child Relationship Name says R00N30000002btlAEAQ.

 

So I changed my VF code to say this:

 

<apex:pageblockTable value="{!Position__c.R00N30000002btlAEAQ__r}" var="JA" title="Job Applications">

 

Also, for me Candidate is the same way.

 

Hope this helps.

Try checking with your WSDL to confirm if the field does exist.... I would recommend checking the WSDL whenever you face this error

 

Cheers!!
