Validate failure and report java.lang.NullPointerException

there are three required textinput field in my dialog window . after input data into them, i click button to commit data, meet the validate failure error . report a java.lang.NullPointerException at these three fields bottom. others non-required fields has no error.
The error message in page is

Length - java.lang.NullPointerException
RollId - java.lang.NullPointerException
VatId - java.lang.NullPointerException
and in application.log is

Hi.. I am having the above problem when ruuning my transmission program..
I run my code and it seems to be ok... There is message showing the web cam stream is being transmitted...
However, it dawn on me when i could not even receive any stream via JMStudio with the specified address. e.g. 220.10.10.20 at port 2020.

Ok I reviewed your code and there were a couple things which I am confused about. Firstly, it looks like you have a section of code which checks to see if the ip address preffix is within the 240-223 range, which tells me that you are trying to implement multicast addresses. However, your example ip is out of the multicast range. Also the InetAddress has an isMulticastAddress() method which can check that for you.
Those are just the first things that struck me and I'll keep going through the code.

Java.lang.NullPointerException when writing to a textfield..help please?

Hi guys,
I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException (with no other details of error) when i try to write to a textfield on my GUI. the line: TF1.setText("F"); is where the problem is occurring. that line is within a loop ->
               if(freq >87 && freq < 100)
                                   System.out.println("Note =F" +freq);
                                   TF1.setText("F");
the textfield has been constructed and initialised and given an initial value. what i need to happen is the string in the textfield to be constantly updated (overwritten) with the new string.
the initial value from      TextField TF1= new TextField("", 10);
TF1.setText("blank");
works fine, but one the loop above is entered, the current frequency is printed to the command line and then "java.lang.NullPointerException" is thrown.
I'm struggling with this, and have a deadline to meet so I would much appreciate some help.

The Gui class is this:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;

public class Gui extends JFrame{
public static void main(String args[])
Project project = new Project();
project.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
     project.setSize( 250, 200 ); // set frame size
project.setVisible( true ); // display frame
// new Project(){//constructor
     Panel p, p1;
p = new Panel();
          p.setLayout (new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,5,5));
          project.add(p, BorderLayout.NORTH);
     p1 = new Panel();
     p1.setLayout (new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,5,5));
p1.setLayout (new GridLayout(4,1));
project.setTitle("Guitar Tuner Prototype");
     TextField TF1= new TextField("", 10);
TF1.setText("blank");
     p1.add(TF1);
     TF1.setVisible(true);
     p1.setVisible(true);
     p.add(p1);
//Capture input data from the microphone
project.captureAudio();
project.captureThread();
}//end constructor
//end main
The project.java class has the "private TextField TF1; at the top. the project.java class also contains the loop thats writing to the texfield as specified in th original post..

Reports in Manager Self Service with java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Everyone,
I have been breaking my head with this problem for over a week. When initially installed the reports worked fine but now when I try and access the Report Selection I get the following java.lang.NullPointerException error. I am running EP 6.0 SP14 on a ERP2004 backend system. I have compared almost all the values with the default ones and have read all documentation and set up exactly what it needs. In SAPGUI the Manage´'s Desktop shows ok via trans ppmdt, but via my MSS it shows nothing.... Any ideas ?...
SSO works ok, everything like that is already configured since the full MSS works besides the reporting.... I do not have a BW system, I would only want the reports that come from REPO or FUNC. The Report Selection page doesn't even open.
One thing I have noticed, when I change the sap.xss.rpt.scenario=RPT0 on the resource for the report selection service the screen appears showing an empty report selection, but when I enter the rpt0 value it displays that error.....
Any ideas ?? Anyone been throught this ??

After applying NW04 SP Stack 14 and ERP 2004 MSS SP10, the MSS Reporting application returns a java.lang.NullPointerException error.

Reports 11g: REP-50125: rwbuilder.conf:java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello all,
Please excuse my being too detailed.
After installing Forms 11g, Reports 11g in a new Windows 7 Professional 64bit machine, I was able to run both the Forms Builder and Reports Builder.
I then moved my forms and reports into a different folder, updated the FORMS_PATH and REPORTS_PATH in the registry, and added a key into keymap file:
C:\Oracle\Forms\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS\applications\reports_11.1.1.2.0\configuration\cgicmd.dat
that allows hiding userid and password when calling up reports.
I then made a change to the following file:
C:\Oracle\Forms\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_REPORTS\applications\reports_11.1.1.2.0\configuration\rwservlet.properties
by adding the following line to force reload keymap:
<reloadkeymap>yes</reloadkeymap>
Having done that, I could call up reports from remote clients. Unfortunately, now I cannot run the Reports Builder.
Each time I tried, I would see a splash screen, then the usual process in task bar. But no builder appeared.
Right-clicking the process and selecting running the builder will produce a popup dialog declaring:
"REP-50125: rwbuilder.conf:java.lang.NullPointerException"
I have restarted the computer, restarting the Admin Server, Reports Server, etc., to no avail.
If I were to rename the rwbuilder.conf away, the Reports Builder will hang at the splash screen.
The shortcut I used to run the Reports Builder is:
C:\Oracle\Forms\asinst_1\config\reports\bin\rwbuilder.bat
The path to the rwbuilder.conf file is:
C:\Oracle\Forms\asinst_1\config\ReportsToolsComponent\ReportsTools\rwbuilder.conf
and its contents, which has never been modified since installation, follow:

Hi,
This looks like it might be related to bug 6358304.
Go to My Oracle Support site (Metalink) Patchs & Updates tab. Then search for 6358304.
There is a patch downloadable for this which worked for me though I was getting the error when running reports via the server and not through starting reports builder.
However if you search the Knowledge base for 6358304 there is a work around available by editing the cgicmd.dat - specifically by adding a space at the end of the key you added to the file:
1. In the cgicmd.dat file, add a space at the end of the key line.
for example:
my_key: userid=hr/hr@oradb %* %P <--< add a space after the "P".
2. Additional workaround is to change from :
%* %P
to:
%P %*
Hope that works for you, otherwise I would recommend raising a support request with Oracle.
Cheers,
Toby.

} Please tel me where is my mistake or maybe you knew another way to open JInternalFrame with public method form another class

Some possibly helpful suggestions:
1) Create one JDesktopPane, and do it in the constructor of GUI. You should call this constructor only once.
2) Get rid of GUII. The GUI constructor will do all this and more.
3) Get rid of startFrame and startFrame2.
4) In GUI2, change your width and height to static variables if you are going to use them in outside classes. There is no reason to have to create a GUI2 object just to get those values. Get them from the class, not the instances.
5) You're doing something funky in your Top class with your mixing of static code and non-static code. My gut tells me that Top is just a static universe that exists to get your code up and running, and that the code within it should all be static, but that's just my personal opinion.
6) In MyInternalFrame, get the height and width from GUI2 (if that's what you want to do) again in a static fashion. Rather than new GUI2().width which makes no sense, use GUI2.width.
Why can't you put the button inside of the JInternalFrame object? I believe that the contentPane of this object which may hold your button (unless you embed a jpanel) uses BorderLayout, so you have to take care how you add jcomponents to the jinternalframe (or more precisely, it's contentPane).

Do you understand anyway when a NullPointerException would be thrown? It will be thrown if you try to access/invoke an object reference which is actually null.
Connection conn = null;
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query); // Throws NPE because conn is null.

Jax-ws 2.2.8 and ws-addressing: Client throwing java.lang.NullPointerException on receipt of HTTP 202 when using non-anonymous ReplyTo address

Server: JBoss EAP 6.2.0
Client: JDK 1.7.0_51 x64
JAX-WS: RI 2.2.8 ( via -Djava.endorsed.dirs )
I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when calling the operation on the WS endpoint from the client when using non-anonymous replyTo address.
I have simplified the scenario into a small test case that hopefully others can replicate. Since the exception is happening on the client instead of the server, I would think that the container used is irrelevant, but I have specified it nonetheless.
1) WebService:
package test.webservice;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.xml.ws.soap.Addressing;
@WebService(targetNamespace="http://services.nowhere.org/")
@Addressing(required=true)
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT)
public class RandomTest {
    @WebMethod
    public long nextRandom(@WebParam boolean forceException) throws Exception {
        if( forceException ) {
            throw new Exception("Some exception");
        Random rand = new Random();
        return rand.nextLong();

4c) CallbackSEI.java - endpoint on the client for server to send the SOAP response back to the client
package test.wsclient;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.jws.Oneway;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.xml.ws.Action;
import javax.xml.ws.RequestWrapper;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext;
import javax.xml.ws.soap.Addressing;
@WebService
@Addressing
//@HandlerChain(file = "/handler-chain.xml")
public class CallbackSEI {
    @Resource
    private WebServiceContext context;
     * If there is no namespace specified in the method below, then the CallbackSEI needs to be in the same package as the
     * WS endpoint.
    @Oneway
    @Action(input="http://services.nowhere.org/RandomTest/nextRandomResponse")
    @RequestWrapper(localName="nextRandomResponse", targetNamespace="http://services.nowhere.org/")
    public void handleNotification(@WebParam(name="return")long random) {
        System.out.println("Asynch response received");
        System.out.println( random );
        //System.out.println("This response relates to the message ID: "+ getMessageID());
In summary:
Server is listening on port 8080
Client will listen in port 8082 for the callback from the server for the SOAP response
Now when I run the client, I see that the proper behaviour as far as ws-addressing is concerned. That is:
client -- SOAP request ( on port 8080 ) --> server
client <-- HTTP 202 ( empty HTTP body ) --- server
client <-- SOAP response ( on port 8082 ) --- server
All well and good, except that I am getting a NullPointerException on the client side when I call the operation.
With debugging of the SOAP request and responses, I get the following output:

As you can see from the output above, the proxy is throwing an Exception when it receives the HTTP 202 response.
Any ideas ?

I think I have found when I get this error and probably I have found a bug. I will appreciate if someone can confirm this.
In my BPEL project setup, my BPEL process's wsdl file imports another wsdl from different namespace. Here is sample snippet -
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://namespace/1">
<wsdl:import namespace="http://namespace/2" location="resources/another.wsdl"/>
<plnk:partnerLinkType....../>
</wsdl:definitions>
Please let me know. I checked the bundled samples with Oracle BPEL PM and did not find any similar case where process wsdl imports another wsdl.
Thank you.
