NullPointerException
I'm testing the functionality of a bit of code and keep getting a java.lang.NullPointerException. The server logs don't really help me.
Here's the lowdown:
using Java EE 5 on Fedora Core 6 Linux
Using NetBeans 5.5
Connecting to a Progress Database using the provided JDBC driver for progress.
I have 2 JSP's. One submits a userID to the second. The second is supposed to take this User ID, look it up in the progress DB and return specified information.
The server spits out the following in server.log when I hit submit on the first page:
