Question

I am trying to get data from LivEx table as list, and then save that data into two dimensional array called array. My method is returning object[][].

I made up this code from googling here and there and taking bits from every example, however I am doing something wrong which I can’t quite seem to put my finger on. It gives me an exception which is a NullPointerException whenever I call getLivExList(currentPlan).

Here is my code:

public static Object[][] getLivExList(String currentPlan) throws Exception {
    Session s = null;

    try {
        s = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        s.beginTransaction();
        String query = "select F.item, F.category, F.amount from LivEx F where F.planName=?";
        Query q = s.createQuery(query);
        System.out.println(query);
        List fp = q.list();
        s.getTransaction().commit();
        Object array[][] = new Object[fp.size()][3];
        for (int i = 0; i < fp.size(); i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
                array[i][j] = fp.get(j +(3 * i));
            }
        }
         System.out.println("getLivExdata in networthentitymanager OKAY");
        return array;
    } catch (Exception e) {
         System.out.println("problem at getLivExdata in networthentitymanager");
         throw e;
    } finally {
        if (s != null) {
            HibernateUtil.closeSession();
        }
    }

Please help me find out where the problem is coming from.

This is the exception I am getting:

    SEVERE: null
    org.hibernate.QueryException: Expected positional parameter count: 1, actual parameters: [] [select F.item, F.category, F.amount from LivEx F where F.planName=?]

Answer 1

You’re not setting the plan name for the query, even ‘though you’ve specified a positional parameter (?).

Put this before your call to list:

query.setString(0, currentPlan);
