public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)    
      {
        Object source = e.getSource();
       
		String message = "bedRoomLon";
	 if(source==radioOn || source==radioOff)
         {
         
        if(source== radioOn)
	{
                        
	
              client.sendMessage(message); 
	label1.setIcon(createImageIcon("images/" + e.getActionCommand()+ ".jpg"));
                           radioOn.setSelected(true);
			         (message); 
	}
      else if(source== radioOff)
                          {
		                label1.setIcon(createImageIcon("images/" + e.getActionCommand()+ ".jpg"));
                           }            
 


}
   
		
                          

public void sendMessage(String msg)
		{
	try{
 // out = new ObjectOutputStream(requestSocket.getOutputStream());
			//out.flush();
	
			out.writeObject(msg);
			out.flush();
			System.out.println("client>" + msg);

		}
		catch(IOException ioException){
			ioException.printStackTrace();

The exception tells you you have an unitialised variable on line 373 of ClientPanel (in method actionPerformed). Look at that line and work out which variable it is. If you're not sure, print them all to see which is null.
