I have an error into the code which I cannot find. How I can fix this problem?
Best wishes
That’s not JSF specific. You have a
nullreference on line 375 inSessions.java. Go and make sure you don’t invoke methods on anullobject. In your particular case this will fix it:But next time, please try reading what the exception tells you. It gives you where it fails and why it fails.
