Hi Ranchites ,

When I call method getDataSource(req) in my struts application, I am getting the following NULLPOINTER EXCEPTION.Suggest me a workaround for the same.


Regards

Hi,

The following is the definition of datasource in the struts-config.xml
.

<data-sources>
<data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property
property="driverClassName"
value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<set-property
property="url"
value="jdbc:mysql:///struts"/>
<set-property
property="username"
value="root"/>
<set-property
property="password"
value="omshanthi"/>
<set-property
property="maxActive"
value="10"/>
<set-property
property="maxWait"
value="5000"/>
<set-property
property="defaultAutoCommit"
value="false"/>
<set-property
property="defaultReadOnly"
value="false"/>

</data-source>
</data-sources>

---The following is the class in which I am calling the getDataSource method---

public class DataBase extends Action{

public Connection getConnected(HttpServletRequest req) {
Connection connection = null;
DataSource ds = getDataSource(req);
try
{
connection=ds.getConnection();
}
catch(Exception s)
{
System.out.println("The SQL Exception caught in the DataBase class");
}
finally
{
return (connection);
}


BusinessLogic Class from which I am calling the getConnected method

package com.patil;

import java.sql.Connection;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

public class BusinessLogic {

public ResultBean dbUpdate(ActionForm form,HttpServletRequest req)

{
Connection connection=new DataBase().getConnected(req);
System.out.println(" *************The connection reference got************* ");
ResultBean resultBean=null;
return resultBean;


}

}

Let's discuss this in one thread
