    client for JAWS example

    panbiaolin

      Hi all:

      I use JBoss 2.4.0 with Tomcat 3.2.3, Oracle 8.1. I test the jaws example ( the Class with Lesson example which I download from JBoss), but this example without client code. I have writen my own client code,
      upload code works fine, but retrieve code doesn't work.
      the lesson field in Class object is point to null.

      This is client code :

      public class List
      {

      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
      try
      {
      InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
      Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("jaws/Class");
      ClassHome home = (ClassHome)
      PortableRemoteObject.narrow (ref, ClassHome.class);

      Collection all = home.findAll();
      Class[] classes = (Class[])all.toArray(new Class[0]);

      for (int i = 0; i < classes.length; i ++ ) {
      ClassDetail detail = classes.getDetail();

      System.out.print("Id : " + detail.getClassId());
      System.out.print(" Count : " + detail.getStudentCount());
      System.out.println(" Teacher : " + detail.getTeacherName());
      System.out.print(" Lesson Subject : " + (detail.getLesson()).getSubject());
      System.out.println(" Lesson Hours : " + (detail.getLesson()).getHours());

      }
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
      System.out.println(e.toString());
      }
      }
      }

      The following exception is thrown:

      Id : 1 Count : 1 Teacher : Teacher 1
      java.lang.NullPointerException

      Can anybody solve the problem for me?

      Thanks

          The only thing I can think of is your call to detail.getLesson(). The getLesson() must be returning NULL and your trying to call a method on the getLesson() that is null, thus your NPE. However, it is possible that the getSubject() call returns null too. Not sure. Do an if() check on it before printing it out to find out which one is null. Then go from there.

            Hi Buckman:

            Is that data mapping problem? Because I can find the field (Lesson) in database, but when retrieve it, the field (Lesson) is null.

            Thanks
