java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat com.test.database.LoginDataAccess.doLogin(LoginDataAccess.java:31)

You will have to check the code in LoginDataAccess class, specifically line number 31.

Thanks rancher,

Problem is i am making a strut application,in which i'm just making a GUI with
UserName and Password fields.And check these fields in MySql database.
When i enters these fields into the GUI....then i got this validator.fieldcheck.validationRequired exception.I use struts-1.2.9-bin(2),jdk1.4.

 java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.test.database.LoginDataAccess.doLogin(LoginDataAccess.java:31)      

=======================
LoginDataAccess code is
=======================

public String doLogin(String username,String pwd){
    String strResult=null;
    try{
    Connection con=makeConnection();
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select *       from user where UserName='"+username+"' and Password='"+pwd+"'");
    
    if(rs.next())
    {
    String s3=rs.getString("UserName");
    String s4=rs.getString("Password");
    System.out.println("S3:"+s3+"S4:"+s4);
     
    if(username.equals(s3)&pwd.equals(s4))
    {
    strResult="Login Success";
    }
    }
    else
    {
    strResult="Login Failure";
    }
    }catch(Exception e)
    {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return strResult;
    }
            

Any help would be greately appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi....I've just sort out my problem by myself.
There is problem with validation rule.xml file's version.
