Hi everybody, I am Chaitanya, I have a link which when clicked requests list of users present. There is a model which selects the list of users with their names.

If it is one single user all his information is retrieved and dumped in to the Bean. Now I am retrieving list of users with their names only. Not the entire details.

I have setter and getter methods in Bean. So if I retrieve 10 user names, then I should have a array of 10 Beans. Can I do like this?

And this Bean consists of 25 setter and getter methods. Here I am using only set user name property. The rest of the setter and getter methods are useless.

Can I go with Beans or simply create an array? If I should go with Beans, then, can I use the previous Bean which consists of 25 setter and getter properties. Or shall I create another Bean which exactly consists the name property?

Thank you all in advance. Have a good day.

Of course -- why not? Are you running into any specific difficulty?

No Mr. Bear, I don't have any specific difficulty. I just don't know that should I create array of Beans or go for an array. Thats it. Thank you sir.

Hi Mr. Bear, Array of beans is not working, it is reporting a null pointer exception.

Can you please tell me where is the mistake? Thank you in advance.

You need to check your basic Java logic.

Everything is fine, it is working with String Array, not with Bean Array. I just replaced the Bean class with String. It worked fine. Coming to Beans it is not working.

The error lies in the while loop. I also checked whether there are any records in the faculty table. There are 3 records. So the Bean is initialized to array of size 3.

@Chaitanya
The way you are creating an array of beans is wrong. Please see this example for a hint.
