I had read earlier that this problem could be because of conflicting JAR files in the Tomcat library & the Web-INF library, but this is not the case.

I am very new to Java and am only maintaining this application. It was running fine until December 26 2014 but when I returned in 2015, it started to throw this exception without any changes in the code. Please let me know if I need to post any other parts of my code here.

Look for places where you are using the . operator since the left side being null is what causes the Null Pointer Exception error.

For example:

if (!myid1.equals("agg"))

If myid1 is null you will get the error. You can circumvent this in this case by reversing the order of the comparison:

if (!"agg".equals(myid1))

You could also check the variable for null before using the . operator on it:

if (myid1!=null && !myid1.equals("agg"))

Also, a string comparison like myid!="" doesn't work in Java. It only compares the address not the contents. Anyway, the point is, you should do !"".equals(myId) or !myId.equals("") instead.

And it will be very helpful to you to learn to indent better. Good indenting helps a lot when debugging because its hard to debug if you can't tell if something is really in the if-statement or loop or not.

Here's what you need to do.

Get hold of the generated Java code for the JSP which is throwing the exception. You should be able to find it in one of Tomcat's temporary or work directories. You are looking for a file named "multilineOUT_jsp.java".
Figure out what is happening at line 160 of that file.
Then follow the normal procedure for debugging an NPE as described here: What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?.

If you could show us line 160 of that file, we could be more specific. Without that info, the best that we can do it offer educated guesses.
