    Post Causing NULL POINTER when i add a code;

    public DefaultTableModel showTable(DefaultTableModel tmodel, String sql){
            DefaultTableModel tm = tmodel;
            String sq = sql;
     
     
           try {
               st=con.createStatement();
               rs=st.executeQuery(sq);
               System.out.println("Query: "+sq);
     
               ResultSetMetaData rmeta = (ResultSetMetaData)rs.getMetaData();
               int numColumns = rmeta.getColumnCount();
               System.out.println("Column Count: "+numColumns);
     
               for(int i=1;i<=numColumns;i++){
                   if(i<=numColumns){
                       System.out.println(rmeta.getColumnName(i));
                       tm.addColumn(rmeta.getColumnName(i));
                   } 
               }
     
     
     
           } catch (SQLException ex) {
               Logger.getLogger(JDBCCrud.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
           }
     
     
     
        return tm;
        }//SHOWTABLE



    when i add: tm.addColumn(rmeta.getColumnName(i));
    the program will show errors which says that it was a NULL POINTER and lead me to this code.

    im getting the name of column to the database. and i used this code: System.out.println(rmeta.getColumnName(i)); to check if java gets the data from sqlserver database.

    still need assistance and as i debug it. i have a bad feeling that it's because of the DefaultTableModel tm; is being the NULL POINTER error. cause when im getting the row information from database, it has the error NULL POINTER too that goes to tm.addRow(data);

    Are you sure the table model isn't null when being passed in?

    For faster and likely more useful replies, include the full text of the error message(s) with the code and your question
