Problems with JavaProject

[args009]

Hi, I can't get my carrentalprogram to work. When I try add vehicle/customer, I get this:

"Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException"
I think it means that what i type in my textLines = Null.

I guess the methods from the class "Controller" can't be used.

Here are the classes "Controller" and "MainPage"

public class Controller {

    CustomerRegister customers;
    VehicleRegister vehicles;
    BookingRegister bookings;
    MainPage mainPage;


    public void addCustomer(String customerName, String customerNo,  String customerAdress,  String customerTelNr){
        Customer tmpCustomer = new Customer(customerName, customerNo,  customerAdress, customerTelNr);
        customers.addCustomer(tmpCustomer);


    }

    public Customer findCustomerByNo(String customerNo){
        Customer tempCustomer = customers.findCustomerByNo(customerNo);
        return tempCustomer;

    }

    public Customer findCustomerByName(String customerName){
    Customer tempCustomer = customers.findCustomerByName(customerName);
    return tempCustomer;

    }

    public void removeCustomer(String customerNo){
        customers.removeCustomer(customerNo);
    }

    public void addBooking(String bookingNo, String date, Customer customer, Vehicle vehicle){
        Booking tempBooking = new Booking(bookingNo, date, customer, vehicle);
        bookings.addBooking(tempBooking);
    }
    public void removeBooking(String bookingNo){
        bookings.removeBooking(bookingNo);
    }



    public void addVehicle(String type, String regNo, String location, String price, String NumberOfSeats){
        Vehicle tempVehicle = new Vehicle(type, regNo, location, price, NumberOfSeats);
        vehicles.addVehicle(tempVehicle);
    }

    public Vehicle findVehicle(String vehicleRegNo){
        Vehicle tempVehicle = vehicles.findVehicle(vehicleRegNo);
        return tempVehicle;
    }

}

read the entire error message. it'll tell you exactly on which line of which class that exception is thrown.

learning to read stacktraces is pretty important if you want to work with more complicated projects.

my guess, your problem is right here:

CustomerRegister customers;
    VehicleRegister vehicles;

you never instantiate these. as class members, they are automatically set to the default value, null. so when you try and call an .add method on any of them, it fails.

Working now. Thank you!

Got another problem with the "search vehicle" now. the error message tells me that the following line is incorrect:

textFieldDate.setText(controller.findBooking(textFieldBookingNo.getText()).getDate());
                textFieldCustomerNo.setText(controller.findBooking(textFieldBookingNo.getText()).getCustomer().getCustomerNo());
                textFieldRegNo.setText(controller.findBooking(textFieldBookingNo.getText()).getVehicle().getRegNo());

When I try to get the date, CustomerNo and the Vehicle, only the date works. The only diffenence between the lines is that the first one is getting the Strings from the class Booking and the two other lines get the Strings from 2 classes.(Vehicle and Customer)

[stultuske]

saying that the line is 'incorrect' is pretty vague. what is the exact message you get?
you are not showing all your code, so it is a waste of time for us to go and 'try' running your code (even if we wanted to). the Controller class you've shown doesn't have a findBooking method, so as far as I can tell by the code you provided, those 'incorrect lines' won't compile, let alone run.
