mysql - java null pointer exception SQL prepared statement

Question

I have the following SQL query:

private static final String SQL_LIST_ALL =
    "SELECT DISTINCT * "
    + "FROM usuarios WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM usuarios_grupos WHERE usuarios_grupos.id_grupo = ? AND usuarios_grupos.id_usuario = usuarios.id_usuario)";

which resides in my list() method:

public List<Usuarious> list() throws DAOExceptions {
    Connection connection = null;
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
    ResultSet resultSet = null;
    List<Usuarious> users = new ArrayList<Usuarious>();

    try {
        connection = daoFactory.getConnection();
        preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_LIST_ALL);
        preparedStatement.setInt(1,groups.getId_grupo());
        resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
        while (resultSet.next()) {
            users.add(mapUser(resultSet));
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        throw new DAOExceptions(e);
    } finally {
        close(connection, preparedStatement, resultSet);
    }

    return users;
}

I got a null pointer exception when I run my program. It happens here:

    preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_LIST_ALL);
    preparedStatement.setInt(1,groups.getId_grupo());

My result set method:

    private static Usuarious mapUser(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException {
    Usuarious user = new Usuarious(rs.getInt("id_usuario"), rs.getString("nome"), rs.getString("setor"),
            rs.getString("senha"), rs.getString("email"), rs.getString("bloquear"), rs.getString("admin"));
    return user;
}

I am trying to pass the id_grupo into the "?" on my SQL statement. However, these methods are in my UserDAO. So, I created a new group object in the DAO to retrieve the id_grupo.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?

Well, I just created a Group object. It is shown here:

public class UsuariousDAO {


private static final String SQL_LIST_ALL =
        "SELECT DISTINCT * "
        + "FROM usuarios WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM usuarios_grupos WHERE usuarios_grupos.id_grupo = ? AND usuarios_grupos.id_usuario = usuarios.id_usuario)";


private DAOFactory daoFactory;

Grupos groups = new Grupos();

Answer 1

Check that code groups.getId_grupo()

groups is an null object. You function must have one object of type groups like parameter.
