I made a JComboBox and filled it using data from a table. Simply put this is what's happening.
@entity class { Integer id; String name; getId(); //return Integer getName(); //return String } JComboBox cb = (JComboBox) evt.getSource(); myObject newItem = (myObject)cb.getSelectedItem(); String aString = newItem.getName(); //no error Integer aNum = newItem.getId(); // null pointer exception I'm using JPA and I have issue getting the String back but when I try to assign the getId method to an integer I get a null pointer exception. is this common problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" group.
