I am having trouble with a exercise I am working on with Java using a Access Database, wondering if anyone could shed some light on this
In my main class I make a call like this
Product p = new Product("test", "Test Product", 49.50);
insertProduct(p);
This calls the insertProduct(p); method. What I am trying to do is insert some test data into the database, here is my code for that.
public static void insertProduct(Product p)
{
try
{
System.out.println("Insert test: ");
String insertProduct = "INSERT INTO Products (ProductCode, Description, Price) VALUES ('andr', 'Beginning Android', '38.99')";
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(insertProduct);
ps.setString(1, p.getCode());
ps.setString(2, p.getDescription());
ps.setDouble(3, p.getPrice());
ps.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
rs.next();
String productCode = rs.getString(1);
String description = rs.getString(2);
double price = rs.getDouble(3);
p = new Product(productCode, description, price);
printProduct(p);
System.out.println();
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
when I run this I get a
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
and can't figure out what is going on, I know that when I run the debugger and step through the method, it crashes at the beginning of this statements
ps.setString(1, p.getCode());
ps.setString(2, p.getDescription());
ps.setDouble(3, p.getPrice());
ps.executeUpdate();
here is the results of the stack trace
