when i run it with tomcat 8.0.28 i get a java.lang.NullPointerException mentioning
java.lang.NullPointerException
CarSessionServlet2.getCars(CarSessionServlet2.java:155)
CarSessionServlet2.doPost(CarSessionServlet2.java:43)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:648)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:729)
org.apache.tomcat.websocket.server.WsFilter.doFilter(WsFilter.java:52)
Line 43 is that
session.setAttribute(cookieBrand,getCars(cookieBrand));
and line 155 is that
if (conString.equals(Brands[i])) {
First i open an html page, i fill up a textbox, make a choice on a radiobutton and then i press a submit button which calls the doPost method. Then A second html page appears. I fill up another text box and by pressing another submit button i call the doPost method again (2nd if statement, screen=color). And then..... NullPointerException. It was supposed to appear another html page with a button that calls the doGet method. I do not know why i take that exception
