    Default Using method in Eclipse IDE

    Hi, I would like to seek for help because right now I am very confused about why my code is not working..

    The function of my code will add records in my database (MySQL), Swing components of my frame..

    btnUserAdd = jButton
    txtUname, txtPword, txtLname, txtFname, txtMname, txtEmpNo = jTextField
    cbAccType = jComboBox
    EmpNo, Uname, Pword, Lname, Fname, Mname, AccType = MySQL fields

    I created a method to be called when btnUserAdd is clicked. here is the code for the method:

    public void UserAdd(){

    String sql = "SELECT * FROM User WHERE Uname = ? and EmpNo = ?";

    try {

    pst = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    pst.setString(1, txtUname.getText().toString());
    pst.setString(2, txtEmpNo.getText().toString());
    rs = pst.executeQuery();

    if (rs.next()){

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Record Exists! Please Try Again.");
    txtUname.requestFocus();
    cbAccType.setSelectedItem("Operator");
    UserClear();

    }
    else {

    try {

    String sql1 = "INSERT INTO user (EmpNo, Uname, Pword, Lname, Fname, Mname, AccType)" + "VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
    String cb1 = cbAccType.getSelectedItem().toString();

    pst = conn.prepareStatement(sql1);
    pst.setString(1, txtEmpNo.getText());
    pst.setString(2, txtUname.getText());
    pst.setString(3, txtPword.getText());
    pst.setString(4, txtLname.getText());
    pst.setString(5, txtFname.getText());
    pst.setString(6, txtMname.getText());
    pst.setString(7, cb1);
    pst.execute();

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Record Added!");

    }
    catch (Exception e){

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);

    }

    }

    }
    catch (Exception e){

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);

    }

    }

    then here is the code inside the btnUserAdd:

    btnUserAdd.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

    if (txtUname.getText().trim().equals("")||txtPword.ge tText().trim().equals("")||txtEmpNo.getText().trim ().equals("")||txtLname.getText().trim().equals("" )){

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please Enter a Username, Password and Employee No, Try Again!");

    if (txtUname.getText().trim().equals("")){

    txtUname.requestFocus();

    }
    else if (txtPword.getText().trim().equals("")){

    txtPword.requestFocus();

    }
    else if (txtLname.getText().trim().equals("")){

    txtLname.requestFocus();

    }
    else if (txtEmpNo.getText().trim().equals("")){

    txtEmpNo.requestFocus();

    }

    }
    else{

    UserAdd();


    }

    }
    });

    the error is that it does not add the record it will display JAVA.LANG.NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION...

    please help me with my problem..

              }
              else{
     
                    UserAdd();	 //method for add
     
     
               }

    Find the variable that is the nullpointer and then backtrack to find out why it is not properly initialized. Then decide how you would want to initialize it with a value properly.

    the catch is I call the method right? when I copy the code inside the method and paste it inside the actionperformed instead of calling the method, IT WORKS!! how is that working? thats my problem..

    how is that working?
    There can be many reasons. One for an NPE would be when the code is in one place a variable is still not initialized and when it is in another place, the variable has a valid value.

    You have to find what caused the error and fix it.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
