Exception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0” java.lang.NullPointerException in Resultset

Question

I'm Trying to run this code to get the ResultSet row by row into an Array so i can put them in a jTable. I don't get why i get this error, i'm new in this. I would be totally thankfull if you could help me.

    try {
         int pos = 1;
         for (int r=0;r<rsCount;r++){

             String[] na = null;
             res.absolute(pos);
             int a=1;

             while(res.next()){

                    na[a]=res.getString(a+1);
                    a+=1;

                }

                pos+=1;

                 for(int c=0;c<8;c++){

                         tabla.setValueAt(na[c], r, c);

                 }
         }
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Reporte.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
}                              

And here is the OUTPUT:

Answer 1

Your string array is not being properly instantiated. You need to instantiate it like:

String[] na = new String[100];

If you don't know how big the array is going to be you might want to consider using an ArrayList

ArrayList<String> na = new ArrayList<String>();

then each string can be added with:

na.add(res.getString(a+1));
