Hello,
I've writtten an applet for secure registration, but unfortunatley i get these following errors upon input:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at PasswordEntry2.actionPerformed(Compiled Code)
at java.awt.Button.processActionEvent(Button.java:308)
at java.awt.Button.processEvent(Button.java:281)
at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code)
at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code)
at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:68)
it opens up the link fine but does none of my crypto stuff, i've pasted the file nad am sorry if it's very big, but i'm fairly new to applets and this forum.

If you were to surround the code with the [code] and [/code] UBB tags, then any formatting would be preserved and the code would be easier to follow. Note that you can edit your own post by clicking on the icon that looks like a piece of paper with a pencil - you don't have to repost your code.
