This cracks me up.

I remember back in the mid-90s when Java first came out. I actually read the Java 1.0 language spec. The whole thing. It was cool. One of the folks who was telling me about it (just before I read the spec) endorsed it by saying "it's like a cleaner C++ with no pointers!" I've heard the "you don't make pointer mistakes in Java" bit a lot over the years.

Despite all that, I'm still able to convince Java to throw a java.lang.NullPointerException at me. Every time I get one (which is pretty often right now) I have to laugh just a bit because this is the a language without pointers.

Riiiiight.

s/NullPointerException/NullReferenceException/g;

Problem solved. :)

I kind of like the idea of having typesafe null values. That is, each type for which a "non-value" is itself a valid value has a type-specified representation for it. For other types, null would not be a possibility. There are various benefits to this approach, from optimized JVM performance to simplified programming style. (Of course, you're merely shifting responsibility around.)

i particularly like interviewing java people because with the dumb ones, you can get them on a 'java is cool because it has no pointers' kick and then spring the 'so what is a NullPointerException?' question on them. you can do the same thing with the 'java has no memory leaks' thing.

not to say java isn't cool, but it is often very overhyped...

Java has pointers you just don't have to worry about them like you have in C++. In fact in Java almost everything is a pointer (only primitive types aren't).

A null pointer exception happens when you have a variable that asn't been assigned to a specific object yet.

# Sergio Carvalho said:

It's not that Java has no pointers. Its that it doesn't have pointer arithmetic. You can't get a pointer to point to an invalid memory address -- although you can have an unitialized pointer.

In fact, everything is a pointer (a reference) in Java, except for primitive types.

# Joe said:

I remember when I started to really get into Java, I would think I was doing everything so well and then spend the next few hours trying to track down one nullPointerException.

There are pointers everywhere in Java - they just don't usualy show themselves.

Pointers - we don't need no sticking pointers!!

# Daniel Bonniot said:

The fact that NullPointerException can be thrown at run time comes from the fact that Java is not smart enough to know which values might be null, and which ones cannot. The Nice language is an extension of Java that tackles this issue (among others). You need to explicitely declare in types whether the null value is allowed, by prefixing it with a question mark '?'. Thus, the compiler can check that you don't use a null value by accident in a context that doesn't accept it, and that you test for null before dereferencing when it is needed. There cannot be NullPointerException at runtime.

This issue is discussed with other safety features in this article.

People who dog on NullPointerExceptions aren't handling exceptions correctly, i.e.:

catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}

I'll take a NullPointerException over a seg fault *any* day. I find that I don't even need a debugger with Java.

# Mubashir Afroz said:

After Setting the classpath. Type this command on your DOS prompt.
java com.ibm.speech.util.Install

This will register your engine with the API that you are using (for e.g: ibmjs.jar - IBM Speech for Java).

I hope this will help you all.

Type this line on the DOS prompt and it will register your engine with the api that you are using.

But remember before this set your classpath and path variables.

Note: As i am developing a Speech Recognition System in java, so this solution worked for me, i am not sure that it will be beneficial for people developing on some other domain.

The line in question is:

It was something as simple as me setting the arrays size in the syntax:

I, too, am coming up with a runtime null pointer exception. The location of this error is the second line of the following 'for' loop:

for (int i= 0; i<theDice.length; i++) {
theDice[i].dievalue=0;
reroll[i]= true;
}

I have declared the array and all, but it returns null.

In the 'Die' class, I have declared the following variable:
int dievalue=0;

This is clearly the source of the problem, as everything that tries to reference brings up a null pointer exception. What am I doing wrong?

Squint and to the rest of the people that read this if ou are having troublw with an internet application, getting the java.lang.nullpointerexception, this is because you need to update your java 2 platform. this use to be support by Microsoft, snd came standard with windows xp sp2. Now they don't support it hence no more automatic updates for this program. Updated it at http://java.com/en/download/ This will get you the updates you need so that you can play certain games online as well as use certain shopping carts, that you are getting this error on. Hope this helps.

I have a problem with a nullpointerexception that I cannot figure out either. I'm fairly new to coding in Java as it is.

These are the blocks of code that throw the exception.

1.
InputStream is = new Server().getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config/log.properties");
LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(is);
is.close();

and 2.
Properties serverSettings = new Properties();
InputStream cfg = new Server().getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config/server.properties");
serverSettings.load(cfg);
cfg.close();

The expressions are very similar, so I'm guessing it will be the same problem with both, but I can't find it for the life of me. The exact errors I recieve at runtime are:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Unknown Source)

at java.util.Properties.load(Unknown Source)

ServletException in:/gid/templates/buy/shoppingBag/variant/universal1/en/JsShoppingBagFunctions.jsp] An error occurred while evaluating custom action attribute "value" with value "${requestScope.viewAdapter.isCheckoutActive}": An error occurred while getting property "isCheckoutActive" from an instance of class com.gap.gid.ecom.view.buy.ShoppingBagAdapter (java.lang.NullPointerException)' Skip Navigation:Skip to: Top Navigation, Main Content, Footer Navigation.

In most cases, when the end user gets one of these errors it means simply this: The code is broken. If it is a web site, they probably have a server down or moved a resource file or graphic to the wrong place. The site is just broken and there's nothing you, the user, can do about it!

Hi.

So I get the java.lang.NullPointerException message when I try to use the program the comes on my WiFi Mobile Broadband modem. I go to open it, and I get the message: Cannot open Java application - Uncaught exception in main method: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any idea how to fix that? Considering I'm not programming, and it's not a problem with Java games online, using IE or Firefox or anything like that... One minute the program was working, the next, I can't even open it.

Hello guys,
For those who are asking to solve the java.lang. NullPointerException

First of all you can only solve this problem if you have access to the source code of the Apps or Applet (Program)

Otherwise forget it, for a programmer he needs hours sometimes days or even weeks to trace down the source of the exception, it's not an easy thing.

And it's NOT always an error within the code itself
it's a very tricky things to solve,

for instance I can give you a plain example:

these two sites, have a java Applet that works perfectly fine with most Browsers.

http://www.tavernaute.com/tchat/index.php

or this one

http://www.djazairweb.net/chat/index.php

If you try these two links with FF2, Safari, Chrome, Opera, IE, 6,7 the Applet works fine but
If you load it with FF3 Firefox 3.0 and later you will get
NumberFormatException and The java.lang.NullPointerException

So it's not as easy as it looks.

I hope this helps to clarify what some people here consider to be some common error

Best of luck
Adam

I can't view my bill on Virginmobile.ca since they changed their system 6 weeks ago. I get this java.lang.NullPointerException message. I'm Windows XP and IE8.
They are really no help other than to tell me it's my problem. I'll bet it wouldn't be if I stopped paying the bill.

Help please, this is frustrating
