i tried almost all the available solutions to solve this ,but couldnt solve it yet.
help me out to solve this .. thanking

line 142 reads: if(ft.id==ip.t.id)
so print every one of those values (including intermediates like ip.t) immediately before that line to see which is (are) null.

well, it's telling you on which line you are using a variable that you haven't instantiated yet.
add a print right before it, so you can check which var it is, or add default values to your variables, that should help you out.

i have a question
is it necessary to initialize objects of another classes ,in case these objects hold their own fields.

i ve a class 'transition' with a field 'id' and in another class 'outputarc' i ve object of transition as a field . i supply value to this field(transition) by assigning it to a class 'transition' object.the question is before assigning should i initialize the field 'id' of transition class. tell me if its confusing. thanking you..

class transition
{
int id;
}
class outputarc
{
transition t=new transition();
void somefunction()
{
//assigning value for t
transition s=new transition();
t=s;
//do i need to initialize id of transition class
}
}

If the field is an Object then yes (unless null is a valid value for it). But if it's a primitive then no, because they all have default values (0 or false).

Looking at all the info you have provided so far I would suspect that ip is null for some value of i

thankyou the error is gone now!! but is it possible to redirect in the program (java)
when an exception occured... thankyou once again

...is it possible to redirect in the program (java) when an exception occured...

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Can you expand/re-phrase it?
