Constructing an array of objects in java is a 2 step process. First you create the array of references. Then you must construct the actual objects. You have skipped the second step. You only have an array of references, but the references don't point to actual objects. You can not call a method on a reference that doesn't refer to an object.

Please post your code inside code tags next time.
