    Unhappy Thread syncronization JAVA GUI

    Hi there I have been having some thread synchronization issues lately, I am trying to write a client/server application which is supposed to transfer files from one computer to another using a given socket! The thing is I keep getting a Null pointer exception in oos.writeInt(selectedFiles.length) (client side), I don't really understand why that happens since I am initializing oos in run() and then making sure it doesn't go any further before knowing the number of files to transfer to the other side..... So I figured it must be a synchronization issue, I just don't know how to solve this....

    Server side code:

    package fileUpload;
     
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.EventQueue;
    import java.awt.Font;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;

    			}
    			selectionHasNotYetBeenMade=false;
    		}
     
    	}
    }

    The program just doesn't seem to get to the run() method... so that ois and oos can be initialized!

    Both classes are part of a larger project, that's why I just dispose the frames on close.

    Please 1) post the full exception stack trace. 2) Post an SSCCE of the client and server

    the server side just hangs (well that's normal, since it's waiting for the the number of files to be transferred)

    line 224 is: oos.writeInt(selectedFiles.length);

    Both threads are started this way (variables globally declared):

    fu = new FileUpload_Server(accepted);
    tfu = new Thread(fu);
    tfu.start();

    while(tfu.isAlive()){ }

    fu = new FileUpload_Client(fileUpload_channel);
    tfu = new Thread(fu);
    tfu.start();
    while(tfu.isAlive()){ }

    fileUpload_channel and accepted are two working sockets



    I just wrote everything that came to mind....

    What is null on line 224? Add some println's in there to figure it out.

    it's oos; I added the following lines of code before oos.writeInt(selectedFiles.length);
    if(oos==null) System.out.println("oos is null");
    else System.out.println("oos is not null");

    and it printed "oos is null"

    Isn't run() supposed to start automatically once you start the corresponding thread? (Sorry for all the starts)
    The thing is I am initializing both ois and oos in run(), so it must not be getting to it, not in time at least....

    Is there more than one variable named oos? Do you give one a value and use the other one at the NPE?

    This would be more direct: System.out.println("oos is " + oos);

    You have several debugging print outs that should show you what order the code was executed in.
    What do they show? You should post all the information you have about how the program is executing to help solve the problem.

    These two classes are part of a much larger project for my dissertation (for my bachelor's)..... Once the client's logged in, they can choose what to do amongst four possible choices: Remotely control the other computer, upload files to the server, download files from server and start a chat.
    I have already implemented the chat, and I've used there the same logic I am using here, and it works, it does get into run() smoothly, they are implemented pretty much the same way...... so I don't get why these two don't get into their respective run's!
    that's the only variable named oos is globally declared.....

    and it printed "oos is null"
    If oos printed null, what else you expect
    oos.writeInt(selectedFiles.length);
    to do? Your output stream is null so what do you want to write with null?

    Note: I am not good in Networking though, but still a point of observation. Also, i want to get updated with this thread, so i posted here

    What do the printlns outputs show you about the timing/sequencing of the events?
    Add more printlns to show when the methods are called and the variables given values.

    I finally figured it out!
    I managed to make it work by deleting the Upload Button and actionPerformed() and moved the code in it into run()....
    Then I replaced ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream with DataInputStream and DataOutputStream respectively.... beats me but I don't really know why I couldn't get the variables initialized as object streams
    I needed the oos.writeInt(selectedFiles.length); because I needed to know how many files I was uploading to the server.....
    Anyway here's the code for the client:
