error with the highlighted line.Please give a solution.  

public void save(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
System.out.println("in actionEvent");

**bookDAO.persist(book);** //getting values here correctly.But cannot save!
FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Info", "Book is saved");
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, facesMessage);
book = new MyBook();
}

Answer 1

That suggests that bookDAO is probably null. That’s the first thing to check… how are you setting the bookDAO field?
