Using getMethod while the class is being constructed

Question

While executing the constructor, I want to get some of its methods.
But I get a "java.lang.NullPointerException",
when I copy the code to a method and call it after the class is "constructed" it works just fine.
Is it not possible to get them while the costructor is still in execution?
public class EpProcessing {
    AniAdd CC;
    java.util.ArrayList<cFileInfo> Files = new java.util.ArrayList<cFileInfo>();
    public EpProcessing(AniAdd CallingClass){
        CC = CallingClass;
        Method Func;
        try {
            Func = this.getClass().getMethod("AniDBInfoRspnd", new Class[] {int.class});
            CC.API.RegisterEvent(new String[] {"file"}, null, Func);
        } catch (Exception exception) {System.out.println("EpProcessing Constructor: " + exception);}
    public void AniDBInfoRspnd(int QueryIndex) { 
    public void AniDBMyListRspnd(int QueryIndex) {
}

Which exact line is givine you the NPE? Paste in the exact, complete error message. Don't just print the exception; call the exception's printStackTrace() method.
In general, it's a bad idea to call non-final instance methods on the object being constructed. I'm not seeing that happening here, but I don't know exactly what you're doing with the reflection stuff.
