Query Method NullPointerException on List iteration

#1

Hello,

i'm new to ObjectDB and want to create a query which sums up the product categories of a supplier.

Table Supplier:

supplierId   supplierName address List<Product> products

Table Product:

ProductId productName Price ProductCategory categoriy Supplier supplier

Table ProductCategory:

categoryId categoryName

 

Expected query outcome:

SupplierName Category1_Count Category2_Count
Supplier1         5 13
Supplier2 3 7

 

I tried to do this with a query method:

select s.supplierName, s.countCategory("category1") as Category1, s.countCategory("category2") as Category2
       from Supplier s
       group by s.supplierName

Code:

public int countCategory(String categoryName) {
    int count = 0;
    for (Product p : products) {
        if (p.getCategory().getCategoryName().equals(categoryName)) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

 

Problem: I get a NullPointerException on List<Product> products.

When running a Select s from Supplier s, the product lists are there, so why can i not access the product list in java code?

It is unclear from the question where exactly NullPointerException is thrown.

Try running the query in the Explorer. Do you get results?

If you cannot find the cause, you may post a full minimal program that demonstrates the exception, following the format in the posting instructions.

Hello,

thanks for the quick answer!

 

The NullPointerException is thrown

in Supplier class

in method countCategory(String category) when trying to iterate over the product list:

for (Product p : products) { // code.. }

 

All suppliers have a list of products, so it doesn't make sense that it is null.

 

Unfortunately i can't run the query in the explorer, because it says that the method doesn't exist.

I tried adding the classpath in the explorer settings, but the error remains..

The relevant Java code that produces the products results is missing in your post.

Is it possible that you close the database or the connection (EntityManager) before using the results?

A full runnable (but minimal, one class) program will help!
