Thread: Java Webservice problem (Array)

Hey Guys

I'm fairly inexperienced with Java so please be patient with me.

I have a web service running which I have shown the code for below, I am using a basic array to extract data however if an incorrect data entry is made the web service will return "null" values which cause the web service to malfunction and stop working.

I'm looking to get help with either how to deal with the "null" values or ideas to upgrade my array into something more functional. I will be using a Java client to access the web service

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

        //TODO write your implementation code here:
        String[] options = new String[Size];
        double[] showprice = new double[Size];
 
        //Convert Double fare to string to be read out to screen
        String aString = Double.toString(Fare[i]);
 
        for (int i = 0; i < Destination.length; i++) {
            options[j] = " - " + Origin[i] + " - to - " + Destination[i] + " - " + "£" + Fare[i] + "\n";
 
            j++;
