Please check for loctType, loctValue is not null. And also its good to check locter too is not null before your try catch operation.

Change this with your values. – Sirsendu Jul 29 '16 at 12:27
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By .xpath(loctValue))); – Sirsendu Jul 29 '16 at 13:36
Use this for your elements before using findBy..... – Sirsendu Jul 29 '16 at 13:37
