What is java.lang.NullPointerException

Hello,
I wonder what does the error:java.lang.NullPointerException means?. I have seen this error in my code many time , but I do not know what exactly this means, if you have an explanation for this then it would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
This error occurs we call a method on an uninitialized variable.
For example:

Code:

---

mObject tmp;
tmp.exMethod ();
Causes NullPointerException.

To help should show us the source code. And also if you need an example on this and an explanation then visit the Sun's official site for more information.

Hello,

mobj o;
int value = o.exmethod();

Hello,
Here is my code:
in the main class:

Code:

---

  Public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      {
              String tx = entry.getText();
              se.selectAll();
              se.cut();
              add(login, tx);
             
              Sys.listen(login, tx);  / / answer in terms of tx
      }

---

See, if you can help me with this.

Hello,
I think your variable / attribute s has been initialized? I think you need to change this.

Code:

---

System.out.System.out.println(s == null);

---

I am not sure but I think you have a problem in this line, see if you can eliminate this line from your code and try some other alternative for this.

Hello,
I think I have a solution for this . just have a look at the example below

Code:

---

/ / Instantiate the dialog engine
Sys s = new Sys (var, rulefile, "");

but when it is sent to the following code:

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
se.getText String tx = ();
se.selectAll ();
se.cut ();
add (login, tx);

Sys.cout (login, tx) / / answer in terms of tx
}
