    Look at line 57 in your code. What variable has a null value there? Back track in the code to see why it does NOT have a valid value.
    If you can't see what variable, print out the values of all the variables on that line to see which is null

    Please edit your code and wrap it in code tags. See: BB Code List - Java Programming Forums or use Go Advanced and use the # icon

    Please explain.

    Did you answer these questions in post#2?

    Ok, we're trying to help you solve the problem. But you need to find out what variable is null and why.

    If you are having a problem expressing your question in English, try using Google's translator program to convert from your language.
