I'm working with an Oracle 8i database on Solaris. My oracle objects are converted to java objects via jpublisher's utility. One problem I'm encountering is when I do a get() on one field of the jpublished objects, if there's no value in that field, it will throw a nullPointerException. I can't even test if get() == null because that itself will throw an exception. I was wondering how I can get around this other than initialize the object to empty strings or fake values. Thanx for your help.
