I need help! Urgent!

[Hyaki]

im constructing a GUI Order System using java. After everything was set, i got this error :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Container.java:1090)
at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:410)
at GUI.<init>(GUI.java:264)
at GUI.main(GUI.java:298)

Process completed.

Can any1 tell me wats wrong with my coding? Thank you. I separate this software into 2 .java file and they should be linked.

Please read the link in my signature on asking questions the smart way, especially the bit about using meaningful titles as well as not mentioning your deadline or urgency (otherwise you come off as impatient and rude).

Then follow the advice here: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...t-println.html

If you're still stuck, then please narrow your problem down to an SSCCE by eliminating any extraneous code that does not directly attribute to the problem. An SSCCE should only be a few lines long.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Container.java:1090)
at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:410)
at GUI.<init>(GUI.java:264)

What code is at line 264 in the GUI class? Do any of the variables on that line have a null value?

[javapenguin]

You posted the GUI class twice it looks like.

[wuppy29]

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Container.java:1090)
at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:410)
at GUI.<init>(GUI.java:264)
at GUI.main(GUI.java:298)

There is some kind of error with your Container.
At line 410 you add something that is broken. And I'm pretty sure you have made this at line 1090.
298 is the error when you try to load the program. It has an error in the file, so it gives an error there.
I don't know what the error on line 264 is though.

[Norm]

@wuppy29 - You need to review what is shown in a stack trace.
Line 298 in the main() method calls the GUI class's constructor
Line 264 in the constructor calls the add() method of a container <<< This is the OPs code
LIne 410 is in the Container class in the java.awt package <<< This was written by Sun
Line 1090 is where the NPE exception was thrown. Probably because the argument to the add() method called on line 264 was null.
