Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello to all!!!

Can anibody help me with this problem, i'm getting a null pointer exception in this part of the code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
public boolean findBranch(Integer iddespesa)
{

try
{
con = AccessConection.getInstance().getConnection();
ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT iddespesa FROM despesas where iddespesa = ? " );

ps.setInt(1,iddespesa);

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

if (rs.next())
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

catch (SQLException ex)
{

ex.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

DB connection:

public boolean connect(String username, String password) throws ClassNotFoundException
{
try
{

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/OrcDataBase";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);

System.out.println("connected");


con.setAutoCommit(false);

return true;
}
catch (SQLException ex)
{
return false;
}
}

I can make a connection to mysql database, because i can see a process running with th user that i make the connection but when i make the call to the select it generates the error "Exception occurred during event dispatching:java.lang.NullPointerException".

When posting code can you please use code tags?

Also, what line is that exception being thrown from?

The exception is been thrown in this line of code:

ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT iddespesa FROM despesas where iddespesa = ? " );

here is the catch to the java.null

catch (SQLException ex)
{
/*ExceptionEvent event = new ExceptionEvent(this, ex.getMessage());
fireExceptionGenerated(event);*/
ex.printStackTrace();

return false;
}

con is null.
You have no connection.

And I did ask you to use code tags (see this post).

This is the part where i make the connection and this is made on the bbegining of the program where a window pop's up where i put the user/password.

Code:

---

public boolean connect(String username, String password) throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        try
        {
            String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/OrcDataBase";
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);
            System.out.println("connected");

              con.setAutoCommit(false);

            return true;
        }
        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            return false;
        }
 }

You create a connection in that method, but do nothing with it.
It's local to that method, so is never passed out.

OK i understand what you're saying, but i had this working with a access database, the select was working, but when i moved to a mysql database this part is not working anymore so i have to check were i'm i loosing the conection....

Sorry, but that code there cannot have created a connection that was used outside of that method. Just not possible.

Where is your connection object (con) defined that is used to prepare the statement?

Code:

---

Variable con
protected Connection con;

Constructor
public BranchModel()
    {
        con = AccessConection.getInstance().getConnection();
    }

method getInstance
public static AccessConection getInstance()
    {
        if (_mvb == null)
        {
            _mvb = new AccessConection();
        }

        return _mvb;
    }

method getConnection
public Connection getConnection()
    {
        return con;
    }

This performs the con = AccessConection.getInstance().getConnection();

---

Code:

---

The next part performs the connection with the driver to mysql

public void setConnection(Connection connect)
    {
        con = connect;


public boolean connect(String username, String password) throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        try
        {
            String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/OrcDataBase";
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);
            System.out.println("connected");

              con.setAutoCommit(false);

            return true;
        }
        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            return false;
        }
 }

---

Sorry, but can you narrow this down.
Are you connecting to Access or MySQL?

If it's the latter you're having a problem with then simply give us that code. Anything else is just noise.

That second section of code (assuming it's what we should be looking at) Does not show the connection object in relation to that prepareStatement() call.

You have a setConnection(), but don't show us where that connection comes from...which is sort of important since it's the connection that's null!

So, please, help us help you by providing relevant and sufficient information.

 * BranchController is a control class that handles action events
 * on the Branch Admin menu. It also updates the GUI based on
 * which menu item the user selected. This class contains the following
 * inner classes: BranchInsertDialog, BranchUpdateDialog, and
 * BranchDeleteDialog. BranchInsertDialog is a dialog box that allows a
 * user to insert a branch. BranchUpdateDialog is a dialog box that allows
 * a user to update the name of a branch. BranchDeleteDialog is a dialog box
 * that allows a user to delete a branch.
 *
 * BranchController implements the ExceptionListener interface which
 * allows it to be notified of any Exceptions that occur in BranchModel
 * (BranchModel contains the database transaction functions). It is defined
 * in BranchModel.java. The ExceptionListener interface is defined in
 * ExceptionListener.java. When an Exception occurs in BranchModel,
 * BranchController will update the status text area of MvbView.

This is most of the code for access the mysql database...
Hope it helps....thank you very much for your concern:)

So, please, help us help you by providing relevant and sufficient information.

Sorry, I can't read that lot...far too much.

You know the problem, so you'll have to narrow it down.

I'm really sorry...
So begining again this is my class for the connection

Code:

---

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.

package monitorizacao;

/**

 * @author Consultor

// File: MvbOracleConnection.java

import java.sql.*;


/*
 * This class is a singleton class that provides methods
 * to connect to an Oracle database, return the connection,
 * set the connection, and determine whether or not the Oracle
 * JDBC driver has been loaded. To obtain a reference to an

 */
public class AccessConection
{
    private static AccessConection _mvb = null;
    protected Connection con = null;
    protected boolean driverLoaded = false;


    /*
    * The constructor is declared protected so that only subclasses

    {
        if (_mvb == null)
        {
            _mvb = new AccessConection();
        }

        return _mvb;
    }


    /*
    * Loads the Oracle JDBC driver and connects to the database named ug using
    * the given username and password.
    * Returns true if the connection is successful; false otherwise.
    */
    public boolean connect(String username, String password) throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        try
        {

            //String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
            String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/OrcDataBase";
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);
            // change the url if the branch table is located somewhere else
            //String url = "jdbc:odbc:OrcDataBase";
            System.out.println("connected");

            //if (!driverLoaded)
            //{
                //DriverManager.registerDriver(new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver());
                //driverLoaded = true;
            //}

            //con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);

            con.setAutoCommit(false);

            return true;
        }
        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }


    /*
    * Returns the connection
    */
    public Connection getConnection()
    {
        return con;
    }


    /*
    * Sets the connection
    */
    public void setConnection(Connection connect)
    {
        con = connect;
    }


    /*
    * Returns true if the driver is loaded; false otherwise
    */
    public boolean isDriverLoaded()
    {
        return driverLoaded;
    }


    /*
    * This method allows members of this class to clean up after itself
    * before it is garbage collected. It is called by the garbage collector.
    */
    protected void finalize() throws Throwable
    {
        if (con != null)
        {
            con.close();
        }

        // finalize() must call super.finalize() as the last thing it does
        super.finalize();
    }
}

---

Then i start the constructor for BranchModel where i call the connection with the statement:

Code:

---

    public BranchModel()
    {
        con = AccessConection.getInstance().getConnection();
    }

 public boolean findBranch(Integer iddespesa)
    {
 
        try
        {

          con = AccessConection.getInstance().getConnection();
          ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT iddespesa FROM despesas where iddespesa = ? " );

            //rs = ps.executeQuery("select iddespesa from Despesas where iddespesa = ? ");

          ps.setInt(1,iddespesa);

            ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

            if (rs.next())
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            /*ExceptionEvent event = new ExceptionEvent(this, ex.getMessage());
            fireExceptionGenerated(event);*/
            ex.printStackTrace();

            return false;
        }
    }

---

Right.

Code:

---

    protected Connection con = null;

---

You have this connection here in your AccessConnection class.

However the only time you open a connection is in the connect() method:

Code:

---

            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);

---

That connection object there is not the same as the connection object in your AccessConnection instance. It is purely local to the method. The connection you attempt to use, the one returned by getConnection(), is always null.

That is your problem.

Ok i think i'm beggining to understand the problem...ill try something different and then ill post here what was the result.

Thank you very much for your dedication and attention.
Superb:)

I made a temporary change:

Code:

---

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
                      con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/OrcDataBase","","");
                      ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT iddespesa FROM despesas where iddespesa = ? " );
                      ps.setInt(1,iddespesa);

---

and it worked just like you said.......
Thank you very much once again, but this was working trough a access database, but when i changed to a mysql database, stoped working...

You must have changed something else, because there is no way that was working.

I suspect this (in connect()):

Code:

---

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);

---

originally said this:

Code:

---

con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,password);

---

Well that's all i changed, nothing else and it worked, now is inserting data to the database....:confused:
