JComponet.getName() returning null

I have various component. on JPanel.One of them is given some name using componet.setName("xyz").
I have to perform Action in fousListener focuslost event depending on e.getComponent.getName()
if (e.getComponent.getName()==null ) //do this
else if (e.getComponent.getName().equals"xyz"l ) //do that.
when component .getName() returns null I get null pointer exception and code with in "if" block never gets executed.
how do I take care of null pointer exception here.Any help is greatly appreciated .Thanks in Advance

JButton is not getting null anymore.But I run in to another issue
This is my dummy code which I wrote to paste on forum .

}Based on above code I have following scenario
"button2 " should toggle frame (show/hide) and change text of button2 accordingly
button1 should bring the Jframe containing JTable
whenever Jtable looses focus.It should hide frameand text of of button2 should become "showResult"
But afte Button2 looses focus and TextField1 gains focus .Frame doesnt hide ?

    Ok, I changed the name to private and I also tried with

    }and it works. So this.name SHOULD get the value of name, but it doesn�t.
    So the question is: why does getName() return null?Your code is doing exactly what you're telling it to do. One or more of your assumptions is wrong. Keep digging. Add more print statements.
    Above all, you must drop the attitude that "it should work." There's a bug in your code. You have to find it. Repeating the mantra "It should work" is simply going to put blinders on and make it almost impossible to find your error. Instead, you have to think, "What did I do wrong?" and "If getName is returning null, then setName was never called or was called with null."

  • ObjectInputStream() returning null and EOFException - need help

    I have been working on this little snippet of code all day and I cannot understand why I get null values when I run a display application. The code is posted below for 3 file. PhoneList.java is for serialization. CreatePhoneList is to populate a saved file with phone numbers and names of contacts. DisplaySavedPhoneList.java is to display the saved names and numbers. I'm not looking for the correct code, put for someone to point me in the right direction on why I'm getting these results so I can find a solution.
    Here is the PhoneList class:
    import java.io.*;
    public class PhoneList implements Serializable
        private String name;
        private String num;
        private String phName;
        private String phNum;
        PhoneList(String phNum, String phName)
            setName(phName);
            setNum(phNum);
        public String getName()
            return phName;
        public String getNum()
            return phNum;
        public void setName(String phName)
            name = phName;
        public void setNum(String phNum)
            num = phNum;
    }Here is the CreatePhoneList class
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class CreatePhoneList
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
            ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("PhoneList.txt"));
            PhoneList list;
            String phName;
            String phNum;
            final String QUIT = "QUIT";
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Enter a phone number or " + QUIT + " to quit.");
            phNum = in.next();
            while(!phNum.equals(QUIT))
                System.out.println("Enter the contact name.");
                phName = in.next();
                list = new PhoneList(phNum, phName);
                output.writeObject(list);
                System.out.println("Enter a phone number or " + QUIT + " to quit.");
                phNum = in.next();
            output.close();
    }and this is the DisplaySavedPhoneList class:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class DisplaySavedPhoneList
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
            ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("PhoneList.txt"));
            PhoneList list;
            final int SHOW = 1;
            int showList;
            int count = 0;
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            try
                System.out.print("To display Phone List enter " + SHOW);
                showList = in.nextInt();
                while(showList == SHOW)
                    list = (PhoneList)input.readObject();
                    System.out.println("Name: " + list.getName() + " Phone Number: " + list.getNum());
                    count++;
            catch(EOFException e)
                System.out.println("Oops, something broke!");
                input.close();
    }This is the result from running the DisplaySavedPhoneList application:
    To display Phone List enter 1
    1
    Name: null Phone Number: null
    Name: null Phone Number: null
    Oops, something broke!

    ok, I did that, and its pointing me to the line commented below. I did a practical exercise where the code was almost identical and it worked fine. The only difference are the variables.
    try
                System.out.print("To display Phone List enter " + SHOW);
                showList = in.nextInt();
                while(showList == SHOW)
                    list = (PhoneList)input.readObject(); //this is the line that was identified in the stacktrace
                    System.out.println("Name: " + list.getName() + " Phone Number: " + list.getNum());
                    count++;
            catch(EOFException e)
                System.out.println("Stack Trace");
                e.printStackTrace();
                input.close();
            }here is the total stack trace, in case you were wondering...

  • Field.get(Object obj) now returning null with Generics (Java 5.0) ??

    Hello,
    I'm currently using Java 5.0 (especially for the Generics part) on a new Java/J2EE project, but having a strange issue with code working previously in a Java 1.4 project.
    Below is an overriding of the toString() method provided by the Object class which allow me to view nicely in debug (dev. mode) the contents of my Transfer Objects (all the TO's must extend this ATO abstract class).
    Previously this code displayed me something like:
    [field1 => value1, field2 => value2] ... for a TO (sort of "Javabean") having e.g. two String fields with values initialized to "value1" (resp. "value2").
    But unfortunately, this does (or seems) not to work anymore, having such display :
    [field1 => null, field2 => null]I tried to debug, and the problem is that the call fieldValue = field.get(this); returns null while it should returns the actual value of the field.
    I thing it it strongly related to Generics, but could not at the moment found how/why it does not work.
    May someone help...? Thanks.
    public abstract class ATO {
        // Reflection for field value display
        public String toString() {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("[");
            MessageFormat mf = new MessageFormat("{0} => {1}, ");
            Field[] fields = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
            for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
                Field field = (Field) fields;
    String fieldName = field.getName();
    Object fieldValue = null;
    try {
    fieldValue = field.get(this);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
    mf.format(new Object[] { fieldName, fieldValue }, sb, null);
    if (sb.length() > 1) {
    sb.setLength(sb.length() - 2);
    sb.append("]");
    return sb.toString();

    This cast is unnecessary.
    Effectively, I haven't noticed it yet. Fixed.
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
    }Either the field value really is null or you are getting one of these exceptions which you are ignoring. Never write empty catch blocks.That's true, I missed something. Fixed with some code to log the eventual exceptions.

  • Dependency Injection and Target Unreachable returned null

    Hello
    I have tried a simple code in jsf 2.

    /index.xhtml @12,60 value="#{MBTest.thePerson.name}": Target Unreachable, 'thePerson' returned null
    Could you please tell me why?
    Off the topic :
    Where is the code tags? I can't find it here.

    as far as I can see, your Person class is not a managed bean. I would expect an annotation @ManagedBean(name="thePerson") on it. If you don't make it a managed bean, JSF does not know it exists.
    If you don't want person to be a managed bean, then simply create an instance yourself in your MBTest class.
    private Person thePerson = new Person();

  • EjbFindByPrimaryKey returns null

    Hello,
    We are writing an BMP in 6.1 SP 2. The ejbLoad perfectly loads the data.
    From the Remote using the getPrimaryKey() to get the PrimaryKey. That key
    is passed to the findByPrimaryKey(PK) call. But, it returns the following.
    I have the db-is-shared to false in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. It looks like it
    is returning null and I don't understand why it is doing like this. Whether
    it is because, it is not able to find the object through the
    findByPrimaryKey or I am making any mistakes.
    I even system.out.println inside the ejbFindByPrimaryKey and the key is not
    null, it is having the value. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sentence fragments.
    Missing predicates.
    It's a bit hard trying to understand your questions.
    In BMP you write the ejbFindByPrimaryKey method. Your job in that method is
    to verify that it exists in the DB and throw an ObjectNotFoundException if
    not. You return the valid PK (the one passed in) if it does exist. So, what
    exactly is returning null?

    Hello,
    We are writing an BMP in 6.1 SP 2. The ejbLoad perfectly loads the data.
    From the Remote using the getPrimaryKey() to get the PrimaryKey. That key
    is passed to the findByPrimaryKey(PK) call. But, it returns thefollowing.
    I have the db-is-shared to false in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. It looks like it
    is returning null and I don't understand why it is doing like this.Whether
    it is because, it is not able to find the object through the
    findByPrimaryKey or I am making any mistakes.
    I even system.out.println inside the ejbFindByPrimaryKey and the key isnot
    null, it is having the value. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • FindNode returning Null And XML Not Accepting Special Characters

    Hi All,
    i am trying the get the attribute value in the element "ns4:InfoCFDi" using FindNode method, but the method is returning NULL. I used the same code for other sample as well and was successfull. but for this specific XML file(which is below) I am getting a Null.
    i can get till S:Body, but when i try to use FindNode for ":Body/s4:ResponseGeneraCFDi" I get Null value.
    And I used "S:Body/*[local-name()=" | "ns4:ResponseGeneraCFDi" | "]";
    as mentioned in other post but still no success.
    ==>I Have one more question relating to special characters. I need to use characters such as - ó in my XML to read as well as write. When I try to read i am getting XML parse error and when writing, i cannot open the file properly.
    Your help is much appreciated.

    First of all you have to supply a value you want to search for and this has to be the complete path to the value. You're saying you already tried that, but can you paste the code which you used for that? I don't see the path mentioned in the code you posted.
    *FindNode*
    Syntax
    FindNode(Path)
    Description
    Use the FindNode method to return a reference to an XmlNode.
    The path is specified as the list of tag names, to the node that you want to find, each separated by a slash (/).
    Parameters
    Path
    Specify the tag names up to and including the name of the node that you want returned, starting with a slash and each separated by a slash (/). This is known as the XPath query language.>
    Another option would be this snippet of code:
    &InfoCFDiArray = GetElementsByTagName("ns4:InfoCFDi");
    &InfoCFDiNode = &InfoCFDiArray [1];
    &attValue = &InfoCFDiNode.GetAttributeValue("noCertificadoSAT")
    Warning(&attValue);
    It creates an array of XML Nodes which match the name "ns4:InfoCFDi". Since there's only one in the XML it's safe to assume it will be the one and only node in the array. I've assigned that node to the variable &InfoCFDiNode and use that to retrieve the attribute "noCertificadoSAT" value. The warning message should display the value supplied there.
    Concering the special characters; you will have to change the encoding of the XML. Peoplecode sets this to UTF-8 by default, but doesn't include this in the header. There's a little hack for that somewhere on the web, I'll see if I can find it.

  • Kff.where returns 'null'  and causes sql error - looking for a work around

    Hello,
    I am using BI 5.6.3 in EBS (11.5.10.2)
    I have created a kff.where as follows:
    <lexical
    type="oracle.apps.fnd.flex.kff.where"
    name="lp_location_where_clause"
    comment="Comment"
    application_short_name="OFA"
    id_flex_code="LOC#"
    id_flex_num=":lp_location_flex_structure"
    code_combination_table_alias="loc"
    segments="ALL"
    operator="BETWEEN"
    operand1=":p_location_low"
    operand2=":p_location_high"/>
    </lexicals>
    Everything works fine, as long as I have a values for the p_location_low and p_location_high. However, this is a parameter that comes in from a concurrent program and is optional. When the user doesn't pick a value, :p_location_low is the concatenated delimiters for the location '..'.
    When this runs, the kff.where is returning null which causes 'Invalid Relational Operation error' because 'AND null' is not valid.
    Warning in the log is :[091910_025232517][][STATEMENT] !!Warning: FlexAPI returns null for 'x_where_expression' lexical definition...
    Does anyone have a workaround for this since making the parameter required is not an option for my users?
    Thanks for reading.

    In your SQL*Plus session, make sure you
    SQL> set define offbefore trying to create the Java stored procedure. SQL*Plus assumes that any string that begins with an & is a substitution variable unless you tell it that you have no substitution variables (via set define off).

  • HelpSet.findHelpSet() returns null, and trapping ID errors

    I was having a problem initializing JavaHelp. HelpSet.findHelpSet() was returning null. I searched the forum, and found it was a common problem, but the answers were unhelpful. The answers pointed to a problem with CLASSPATH, but offered little in the way of advice for a newbie like myself on how to deal with it.
    A second issue concerns HelpBroker.enableHelpOnButton(). If you feed it a bogus ID, it throws an exception, and there's no way to trap it and fail gracefully. JHUG doesn't provide much in the way of alternatives.
    Now, having done a bit of research and testing, I'm willing to share a cookbook formula for what worked for me.
    I'm working in a project directory that contains MyApp.jar and the Help subdirectory, including Help/Help.hs. My first step is to copy jh.jar to the project directory.
    Next, in the manifest file used to generate MyApp.jar, I add the line:
        Class-Path: jh.jar Help/I'm working with Eclipse, so in Eclipse, I use Project - Properties - Java Build Path - Libraries to add JAR file jh.jar, and Class Folder Tony/Help
    I define the following convenience class:
    public class HelpAction extends AbstractAction
        private static HelpBroker helpBroker = null;
        private String label = null;
        public HelpAction( String name, String label )
            super( name );
            this.label = label;
        public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
            displayHelp( label );
        public static boolean displayHelp( String label )
            if ( helpBroker == null )
                Utils.reportError( "Help package not initialized!" );
                return false;
            try
                helpBroker.setCurrentID( label );
                helpBroker.setDisplayed( true );
                return true;
            catch ( Exception e )
                Utils.reportError( e, "Help for " + label + " not found" );
                return false;
        public static boolean initialize( String hsName )
            URL hsURL = HelpSet.findHelpSet( null, hsName );
            if ( hsURL == null )
                Utils.reportError( "Can't find helpset " + hsName );
                return false;
            try
                HelpSet helpSet = new HelpSet( null, hsURL );
                helpBroker = helpSet.createHelpBroker();
            catch ( HelpSetException e )
                Utils.reportError( e, "Can't open helpset " + hsName );
                return false;
            return true;
    }If you use this class in your own code, you'll want to replace Utils.reportError() with something of your own devising.
    Finally, in my GUI class, I use the following:
        JPanel panel = ...
        JMenu menu = ...
        JToolbar toolbar = ...
        HelpAction.initialize( "Help.hs" )
        Action gsAction = new HelpAction( "Getting Started Guide", "gs.top" );
        menu.add( gsAction );
        JButton helpButton = new HelpAction( "Help", "man.top" );
        toolbar.add( helpButton );
        InputMap imap = panel.getInputMap( JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT );
        imap.put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( "F1" ), "F1help" );
        ActionMap amap = panel.getActionMap();
        amap.put( "F1help", new HelpAction( null, "man.top" ) );

    Sorry, the sixth-from-last line of my example should read,
        JButton helpButton = new JButton( new HelpAction( "Help", "man.top" ) );

  • Why does getParameter("uri") returns null ???

    Hi !
    JAVA can be rather frustrating and I have run of of dukes. How about IOU ?
    Unfortunately none of the previous questions in the db shed light on my problem.
    I am trying to get at the "uri" and I have the following code fragment :
    package com.developer;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    public class proptest extends HttpServlet
      public void doGet( HttpServletRequest req,  HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException
        PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
        out.println("Parameter Name: " + req.getParameter("uri"));
      public void init() throws ServletException
        // initialie the servlet here. Use ServletConfig object to get
        //    initialization parameters...
        ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
        // ... more stuff ...
      }

    Hi!
    In case anyone stumbles upon this in the database, I worked aroung it by using req.getRequestURI().
    However I still do not know why getParameter() returns null. It would be useful e.g. if you want to display a list of all request params e.g.:
    // stub code follows...
    java.util.Enumeration enum = rea.getParameterNames();
    while (enum.hasMoreElements())
    String name = (String) enum.nextElement();
    System.out.println("Parameter "+name + " " + req.getParameter(name))
    ...For me, nope, all nulls. If it works for you , do tell me.
    Also if you look at the "bugs db" there seems to be a number of issues concerning getParameter().

  • Why ResultSet getDate() method returns null when querying .csv file?

    Here is the full code:

    import javax.sql.rowset.CachedRowSet;

    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    class jdbc2{
    final private String s1="SELECT top 10 [DATE], [ADJ CLOSE] FROM [vwo-1.csv]";
    private ResultSet result=null;
    private Connection conn=null;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
    jdbc2 db=new jdbc2();
    try {
              Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
              db.conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:STOCK_DATA");
              PreparedStatement sql=db.conn.prepareStatement(db.s1);
              db.result=sql.executeQuery();
    // check column names and types using the ResultSetMetaData object.
              ResultSetMetaData metaData = db.result.getMetaData();
         System.out.println("Table Name : " + metaData.getTableName(2));
         System.out.println("Field\t\tDataType");
         for (int i = 0; i < metaData.getColumnCount(); i++) {
         System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(i + 1) + "\t");
         System.out.println(metaData.getColumnTypeName(i+1));
         System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(1) + "\t"+metaData.getColumnName(2)+"\n");
              while (db.result.next()){
                   System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
                   System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
    catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
         finally {
              db.result.close();
              db.conn.close();
    Everything works well, until getting to the block
              while (db.result.next()){
                   System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
                   System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
    The getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance())); always returns null, instead of the date value in the vwo-1.csv.
    Even though I change it to
    java.sql.Date d=db.result.getDate("DATE") and convert to String using .toString(), I still gets nulls. The dollar amount in "Adj Close" field is fine, no problem.
    The .csv fils is downloaded from YahooFinace.
    Can anyone review the code and shed some light as to what I did wrong?
    Thanks alot.

  • Why getResource of jar in classpath returns null?

    When i iterate through the jars in the classpath and try to turn them into URL's via the getResources(), they all return null. What am I doing wrong?
    (NOTE: It does print out the classpath properly when i print that out)
    String classPath = System.getProperty( "java.class.path" );
    String delim = System.getProperty( "path.separator" );
    String[] locations = classPath.split( delim );
    for ( int i = 0; i < locations.length; i++ )
          /* ** It doesn't work with either of these statments: ** */
          //This one tries the full path (e.g. /home/me/test/some.jar)
          //Enumeration en = getClass().getClassLoader().getResources( locations[ i ].substring( locations[ i ] );
          //This one tries to use just the local name of the jar (e.g. test.jar)
          Enumeration en = getClass().getClassLoader().getResources( locations[ i ].substring( locations[ i ].lastIndexOf( '/' ) + 1 ) );
          //This just prints null
          while (  en.hasMoreElements(); ) System.out.println( en.nextElement() );

    What you are doing doesn't make sense. The resource locations within a JAR file are relative to the package directory structure within the JAR file, not to its own absolute location on the disk. And you seem to be expecting to retrieve a JAR file from within a JAR file. This makes no sense either.

  • Request.getCookies() returns null, not 0 length array

    (reposted from J2EE forum)
    Just upgraded to 9ias with Embedded OC4J and we were getting a NullPointerException.
    Our previous calls to request.getCookies() AKA http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.1/api/javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.html#getCookies()
    would return an an array of Cookie Objects or an array of zero length if there are no cookies.
    When we upgraded to 9ias, we got the NPE.
    Know why?
    OC4J implementation of HttpServletRequest doesn't return a zero length array, it returns a null object when there are no cookies!!!
    So we had to change our code to catch this.
    Not a big problem, and it's fixed now, but it was a problem nonetheless.
    Any reason/rationale for why this was done this way? Anyone? Bueller?

    Josh,
    According to Servlet Spec 2.3 (page 193) SRV 15.1.3.2 Methods for (HttpServletRequest SRV.15.1.3) getCookies() returns null if no cookies present. So we are compliant to the spec.
    regards
    Debu Panda
    Oracle That's strange that the NPE problem didn't occurr until deleting cookies on OC4J, then.
    Thanks for responding!

  • Get textFrame by label returns null and anchored objects

    I have the following two functions:
    function getByLabel(page, label)
        for(var i=0; i < page.allPageItems.length; i++)
            if( page.allPageItems[i].label == label )
                return page.allPageItems[i];
    and
    Object.prototype.findItems = function(/*obj*/props)
        if( !('everyItem' in this) )
            throw new Error("Error: " + this + " is not a collection.");
        var ret = this.everyItem().getElements(),
            i = ret.length,
            e, p;
        while( i-- && e=ret[i] )
            for( p in props )
                if( (p in e) && e[p]===props[p] ) continue;
                ret.splice(i,1);
        return ret;
    In my page structure, I got one main text frame (the content area) and two vertical text fromes on the sides of the page. There is also a small box textframe on top of the page. All these textboxes EXCEPT the main text frame are ALL "ANCHORED objects". I had to make them anchored objects, eitherwise after importing data, the boxes would jump around. (Example, the small box textframe that is on the top would get moved to the content area textframe etc). Not sure if using anchored objects is the proper way to fix this.
    When I try to get the small box text frame, it does not work using the findItems (returns null) but it works fine with the getByLabel method. Why is that?
    The calling syntax is:
    for( i=0 ; i < doc.pages.length ; ++i )
            var page = doc.pages.item(i);
            var textFrame = getByLabel(page, 'lblSection' ); //This works
            //   var textFrame = page.textFrames.findItems({ label:  'lblSection' })[0]; This does not work, returns null
            if( textFrame != null )
                textFrame.parentStory.contents = "";

    (function () {
        // Per the InDesign Scripting Guide, app.activeScript is only
        // valid when a script is directly executed from InDesign, not
        // from the ESTK, so a try/catch block is recommended to handle
        // it.
        var d;
        try {
            d = app.activeScript.parent.parent.fsName;
        } catch (e) {
            d = Folder.appPackage.parent.fsName+"/Scripts";
            return d;

    Hi Jaya,
    You want to catch Flexfield values?
    Try below code for catch value.
    OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    if (pageContext.getParameter("queryBtn")!= null)
    OADescriptiveFlexBean dfb = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("flexDFF"); //get the DFF bean
    OAWebBean dffbean = (OAWebBean)dfb.findChildRecursive("flexDFF0"); //get the field that applies to the attribute1 column that is being rendered
    OAMessageStyledTextBean Stylebean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)dffbean;
    String dtlsItem  = (String)Stylebean.getText(pageContext);
    /*  here creating  the hashmap and calling the page with the hashmap*/
    Thanks,
