Number Formatting Issue

[Steve Dyke]

The following code generates a NullPointerException:

Console Output:

[7/30/09 8:57:58:889 CDT] 00000028 ServletWrappe A SRVE0242I: [ResourceManagementEAR] [/ResourceManagement] [ScheduledMonthDisplayServlet]: Initialization successful.
[7/30/09 8:57:59:498 CDT] 00000028 SystemOut O B: 990.0
[7/30/09 8:57:59:498 CDT] 00000028 ServletWrappe E SRVE0068E: Could not invoke the service() method on servlet ScheduledMonthDisplayServlet. Exception thrown : java.lang.NullPointerException

System.out.println("B: "+taskhours);

this.scheduledhoursbyprojectbymonth[i] = Float.parseFloat(decimalFormat.format(taskhours));

System.out.println("A: "+this.scheduledhoursbyprojectbymonth[i]);

This is also in the class:

private DecimalFormat decimalFormat;
	
public ScheduledHours(){
	AS400LibraryStrings lString = new AS400LibraryStrings();
	this.ls = lString.getProduction();
		
	DecimalFormat decimalFormat = (DecimalFormat)DecimalFormat.getInstance();
	decimalFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(0);
	decimalFormat.setGroupingUsed(false);
		
}

Well, one more time I jumped the gun and as sonn as I posted the problem I found my error. All I had to do is remove the second DecimalFormat that was included in the constructor.
