At line 251, are you using NewJFrame class or NewJFrame1 class? Also, you have 'NullPointerException' thrown at line 219 when you try to add. How do you compile your code? You need to read and interpret the error message...

I am asking that you are using NewJFrame class which is not the same as your class NewJFrame1. So you are telling me that you are using an external class here?

The NullPointerException (NPE) is a runtime exception. In other words, it will not be caught at compile time because it is a part of memory access.

You are dumping your spaghetti code to the forum and expect people to look at it for you? This may not work... I can tell you only one thing that you need to look for how the variable which cause NPE is initialized. The cause of problem for NPE usually occurs way before (at initialize) it gets to that line.

Just a little help...

public String name[], date[], subject[], message[], priority[];

You have this line above but you DO NOT initialize them anywhere. You cannot use them if you do not tell compiler what SIZE each string array is going to be. This is not JavaScript that will dynamically allocate memory for you if you do not initialize size of variable array. Also, if you initialize a size for it but you are trying to access outside the size, you will get ArrayOutOfBoundException.

PS: If the whole code is from your professor, you should not take any class from him/her again... This is not a good practice in coding -- using no meaning variable names, no information hiding (throw everything inside a method), and spaghetti-liked code.

Taywin 312 Posting Virtuoso · Answer 3 · 2010-07-17T02:26:59+00:00

Just comes to realization... The quoted code line above is not a correct way to declare array variables anyway... It should be somewhat as below...

// Don't be shy to break them all down to each line.
// It is much easier to read and/or make changes later on.
public String[] name;
public String[] date;
public String[] subject;
public String[] message;
public String[] priority;
