I'm trying to create a list structure for a simple message board usinsg lists of topics, which are themselves lists of messages, with my own implementation of binodes. However I'm getting a null pointer exception when I'm trying to add a post to my topic.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at TopicList.remove(TopicList.java:110)
at TopicList.addPost(TopicList.java:80)
at TestHarness.main(TestHarness.java:13)
My code is as follows: TestHarness.main
TopicList list = new TopicList();
list.addTop(new Message("user1", "post1"), "Topic 0");
list.addTop(new Message("user2", "post2"), "Topic 1");
list.addPost(new Message("user3", "post3"), 0);
System.out.println(list);
TopicList.addPost()
public void addPost(Message m, int id){
Topic t;
t = (Topic) getTopicNode(id).head();
this.remove(getTopicNode(id)); //This is line 80 in my code
t.addMessage(m);
topiclist = new Node(t, topiclist);
}
TopicList.remove()
private void remove(Node n){
if (n.tail().equals(null)){ // this is line 110
n.prev().nullTail();
}
else{
n.prev().join(n.tail());
}
}
Thanks for helping.
