Regarding Icss Product Catalog

Question

Dear Experts,
Project Details:
I am using below mentioned code for displaying the autocomplete functionality for Search Products.
I will be using Icss Catalog BOM.
public class YCatalogSearchAction extends CatalogQueryAction {
  public ActionForward doPerform(
    ActionMapping mapping,
    ActionForm form,
    HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response,
    UserSessionData userData) {
    //the arrylist to return the results
    ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
    //the term parameter that jQuery appends to the url
    String urlQuery = "*" + request.getParameter("term") + "*";
    HttpSession httpSession = request.getSession();
    UserSessionData userSessionData = UserSessionData.getUserSessionData(httpSession);
    IcssCatalogBusinessObjectManager cbom = (IcssCatalogBusinessObjectManager)userSessionData.getBOM(CatalogBusinessObjectManager.CATALOG_BOM);
WebCatinfo theCatalog = cbom.getCatalog();
    if(theCatalog != null){
      try {
        //create the query statement
        IQueryStatement queryStatement = theCatalog.getCatalog().createQueryStatement();
        //create the filter
        CatalogFilterFactory catalogFilterFactory = CatalogFilterFactory.getInstance();  
        IFilter filter = catalogFilterFactory.createAttrFuzzyValue("TEXT_0001", urlQuery);
        //add the filter to the statement
        queryStatement.setStatement(filter, null, null);
        //query the catalog
        IQuery query = theCatalog.getCatalog().createQuery(queryStatement);
        //get the items     
        WebCatItemList itemList = new WebCatItemList(theCatalog, query);
        Iterator iter = itemList.iterator();
        //put the descriptions into the array to return
        while (iter.hasNext()){
          WebCatItem webCatItem = (WebCatItem)iter.next();
          results.add(webCatItem.getLngDesc());
      } catch (CatalogException e) {
        log.error(e.toString());
        e.printStackTrace();
    request.getSession().setAttribute("results", results);
    return mapping.findForward("success");
Problem Statement
The theCatalog (WebCatInfo) object value is coming as null.
Kindly help me on this.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks and Regards,
