Problems with gettting priority-header

Question

Hi!
Why do I get a NullpointerException when I'm trying to get the X-Priority-Header?
I use the following code:
String s[] = messages.getHeader("X-Priority") ;
String sPriority = s[0];
if (sPriority == null)
System.out.println("NULL!");
else
System.out.println("PRIORITY: "+ sPriority);
Which is the correct way to get the priority?
THX in advance!

As the documentation says:
"Get all the headers for this header name. Returns null if no headers for this header name are available."
But you don't test for null (as far as I can tell from your mangled code), you just use the variable "s" even if it is null.
