protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request) is giving me null pointer exception

[Nikhy Pai]

Hi all,

Kindly help me to resolve the problem given below.
I am working in Spring Web MVC . I n one of my forms i have a list which has to be populated from the database.

public class AddEditProjectFormController extends SimpleFormController{

........ CODE
protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception
    {
		Map referenceData = new HashMap();
               referenceData.put("addresses", addressService.getAllAddressIds());
        	request.setAttribute("listaddress", referenceData );
                return referenceData; 
		//return new ModelMap().addAttribute( addressService.getAllAddressIds());
   }

And my service layer is as below:

public interface IAddressService {
	Address getAddressById(Long id);
	List<Address> getAllAddress();
    void saveAddress(Address address);
    void updateAddress(Address address);
    void deleteAddress(Long id);
    List<Map<String,Object>> getAllAddressIds();

}

Implementation class:

public class AddressServiceImpl implements IAddressService {

	
	//we need the dao object
    private IAddressDAO addressDAO;
    
 public IAddressDAO getAddressDAO() {
		return addressDAO;
	}

	public void setAddressDAO(IAddressDAO addressDAO) {
		this.addressDAO = addressDAO;
	}

.....other code
.....
@Override
	public List<Map<String,Object>> getAllAddressIds() {
		return getAddressDAO().getAllAddressIds();
	}

My dao for jdbc

public class AddressDAOJdbc extends JdbcDaoSupport implements IAddressDAO {
.......code for save, update etc  (WHich are working fine)

private static final String GET_ALL_ADDRESS_IDS_SQL =
    "select Address_Id, Address_Desc from address";
    
	
	@Override
	public List getAllAddressIds() {
		return (List<Map<String,Object>>)getJdbcTemplate().queryForList(GET_ALL_ADDRESS_IDS_SQL);
	}

And in my addEditProject.jsp , i am using

<label>Address Id:</label><form:select path="address_id" onchange="submitForm()">           
    								<form:option value="0" >Select </form:option>
    								<form:options items="${listaddress}"  itemLabel="Address_Desc" itemValue="Address_Id"/>
								  </form:select>

The above code works fine , IF i am using a dummy list of addresses as below in the controller class:

protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception
    {
		   Map address = new HashMap();
                       address.put("1","Kochi");
		       address.put("2","China");
		       address.put("3", "Singapore");
		      address.put("4", "Malaysia");*/
		request.setAttribute("listaddress", address);
		return address;

But the same fails and throws a nullpointer exception when trying to populate from the database.

Except for the population of lists, i am able to add, update in my application.

Please someone help me as it is urgent for my project.

I have not yet received any answers for my previous posts . But somehow i managed to overcome the problem.
Kindly look into this problem.

Regards,
Nikhitha

It would help us help you tremendously if you post the stack trace from the NullPointerException

[Matthew Brown]

The point being that the stack trace will tell you - and us - exactly which line throws the exception.

[Nikhy Pai]

OK. Here is the stack trace.

What's the line of code in line 111 of AddEditProjectFormController?. A NPE is usually generated when you try to call a function on a reference that is null. You must be using a reference that is null on that line.

[Nikhy Pai]

Hi thank you for pointing out that.
The line 111 in AddEditProjectFormController is
referenceData.put("addresses", addressService.getAllAddressIds());

i am a bit confused about the returned data and the type from the method addressService.getAllAddressIds());

Actually I am getting this result in AddressDAOJdbc. What i get as a result of this , i have called this method in AddEditProjectFormController.
The actual implementation of this is done in Package ---- net.apple.dao.jdbc, which contains two classes AddressDAOJdbc and ProjectDAOJdbc.

Domain object in Address - 2 fields address_id, address_desc and other fields.
Domain object for Project - 4 fields - Proj_id, proj_desc,proj_start_dt,address_id. This address_id should be obtained from the list box which is to be populated by calling addressService.getAllAddressIds() in the reference data method.

Do I need to add the following lines in AddEditProjectFormController?
public void setAddressService(IAddressService addressService) {
this.addressService = addressService;

I am setting the projectService as it is the one which this controller is used for..

Please clear my doubt.

[Nikhy Pai]

Hi,
I also wanted to add that i have tried by modifying the method public List<Address> getAllAddressIds() in the AddressDAOJdbc class as follows:

private static final String GET_ALL_ADDRESS_IDS_SQL = "select * from address";
      @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	
    public List<Address> getAllAddressIds() {
	List<Address> addresses = new ArrayList<Address>();
	
    List<Map<String, Object>> rows = getJdbcTemplate().queryForList(GET_ALL_ADDRESS_IDS_SQL);
	        for (Map row : rows) {
	        Address address = new Address();
                 address.setAddress_id(Long.parseLong(String.valueOf(row.get("Address_Id"))));
	        address.setAddress_desc((String)row.get("Address_Desc"));
	       
	         addresses.add(address);
	         System.out.println(addresses);
	        
	        }
	        return addresses;
    }  

Still i am getting the null pointer exception. Why.
It means that the reference data's call to the above method is returning null. How do i solve it ?

Well, obviously, referenceData cannot be null, so addressService has to be null. How have you injected addressService? Do you have an autowire annotation, or have you done property injection/ constructor injection

[Nikhy Pai]

Hi ,

I am actually doing this spring project as a beginner. I am not using any annotations in my application.
I am not sure how to inject the addressService. Could you please help me out in that.

I want to tell you that If i am using AddEditAddressFormController, i am able to add, update and delete address data. But i am populating only the address_ids in the AddEditProjectFormController . How do i inject the addressService? I am sorry i sound silly.

[Nikhy Pai]

Hi again,

Thank you. The injection was what i missed .
I have done autowire in the setter for addressService as follows now:

public class AddEditProjectFormController extends SimpleFormController{
	private IProjectService projectService;
	private IAddressService addressService;
 ......... code
    
@Autowired
	    	public void setAddressService(IAddressService addressService) {
		this.addressService = addressService;
	}

And my apple-servlet.xml has the following line added to it at present

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/>
<bean id="projectAddEdit" class="net.apple.web.AddEditProjectFormController">
      <property name="commandClass" value="net.apple.domain.Project"/>
      <property name="commandName" value="project"/>
      <property name="formView" value="addEditProject"/>
      <property name="successView" value="redirect:/viewAllProject.html"/>
      <property name="projectService" ref="projectService" />
       <property name="addressService" ref="addressService" />
   </bean>

<bean id="addressAddEdit" class="net.apple.web.AddEditAddressFormController">
      <property name="commandClass" value="net.apple.domain.Address"/>
      <property name="commandName" value="address"/>
      <property name="formView" value="addEditAddress"/>
      <property name="successView" value="redirect:/viewAllAddress.html"/>
      <property name="addressService" ref="addressService" />
   </bean>

I hope this is what you were suggesting.

After doing the above , now i am getting rid of the null pointer exception.
But the new exception is due to some other reason
HTTP Status 500 - org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'Address_Id' of bean class [net.apple.domain.Address]:

Nikhy,

The answer is right there in the exception that you posted. You are very close to the answer yourself. You just need to look at what the exception says, and process it. Does Address Bean have a property named Address_Id? Remember that in Javabeans convention, it should have a method named setAddress_Id and getAddress_Id

I don't know how new you are to Java programming in general. In Java, stack traces give you incredible amount of information. If you look at the closely, you can find out a lot of things

Hi,

Thank you so much. The erroe is due to the fact that I used Address_Id instead of address_id . I have corrected it and now i am getting my list populated.

This is the code i added in addEditProject.jsp.

<label>Address Id:</label><form:select path="address_id" onchange="submitForm()">
<form:option value="0" >Select </form:option>
<form:options items="${listaddress}" itemLabel="address_desc" itemValue="address_id"/>
</form:select>
Thanking you once again
