Creating and running Java .ini files

Nov 25th, 2009
Hi there

Iam busy creating an .ini file for an application, but it is throwing a null pointer exception the whole time and can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Why would it throw such an error and what does it mean?

Could you please help me?
Will appreciate it...

Here is the code for the .ini file InteractiveScreen.ini:

text Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. ;@InteractiveScreen
  2. ;
  3. ;This interactive screen shows the general information on SmartVillage and Neotel.

Here is the code that gets the text content from the .ini file and places it on the page

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. private void SetHStaticText(HStaticText component, String name, ArrayList<Property> propertyList)
  2.     {
  3.         //gets the text content from the .ini file
  4.         //places the text content on the page
  5.         if (component == null)
  6.         {
  7.             component = new HStaticText();
  8.             component.setName(name);
  9.             _owner.AddComponent(component);
  10.         }
  11.  
  12.         // Set base class properties first
  13.         SetHVisible((HVisible)component, name, propertyList);
  14.  
  15.     }

Thanx

If you rhink anyone will study nearly 200 lines of code and data, mostly unformatted and unindented, to find an unspecified error, which may possibly be in a part of the code that you have not posted, you are a great optimist.
Re-post, with all the code in code tags, and tell us what the exact text of the exception is (including the class/method/line number) and you may do better.
