In the function below, if dateSigned is null the above error is shown. I have tried doing null checks but it doesn't work.
public void saveWizard() {
Map<Object, Object> flowScope = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getFlowHandler().getCurrentFlowScope();
//Basic personal data
person.setFirstName((String) flowScope.get("firstName"));
person.setMiddleName((String) flowScope.get("middleName"));
person.setLastName((String) flowScope.get("lastName"));
person.setDateSigned((java.util.Date)flowScope.get("dateSigned"));
personManager.save(person);
}
