I am new to grails and I am getting this error: Cannot get property 'id' on null object
I am trying to create a web application that displays fixtures in addition to adding new fixtures. However, when running the application I am unable to add fixtures or display the page that deals with adding the fixtures i.e add.gsp. Here are the classes that are currently available in my application.
Here is my simple Fixture domain class:
package cricketfixturesgrailsapp
class Fixture {
Date date
String venue
// hasMany = [scores:Scores]
static hasMany = [team:Team]
static constraints = {
}
}
here is my fixture controller class:
package cricketfixturesgrailsapp
class FixtureController {
//def index() { }
def FixtureService
def add() {
if (request.method == 'GET') {
[fixtureBean: new Fixture()]
}
else {
def fixture = FixtureService.createFixture(params.fixture?.date, params.fixture?.venue)
if (!fixture.hasErrors()) {
redirect action: 'show', id: fixture.id
return
}
[fixtureBean: fixture]
}
}
def show() {
def fixture = Fixture.get(params.id)
if (fixture) {
[fixtureBean: fixture]
}
}
def find() {
if (request.method == 'POST') {
def fixtures = Fixture.findAllByDate(params.date)
if (fixtures) {
if (fixtures.size() > 1) {
render view: 'selection', model: [fixtures: fixtures]
}
else {
redirect action: 'show', id: fixtures[0].id
}
}
else {
[message: 'fixtures.not.found']
}
}
}
}
I've created a fixtureService to deal with creation and update of fixtures
package cricketfixturesgrailsapp
import grails.transaction.Transactional
//@Transactional
class FixtureService {
//def serviceMethod() {
Fixture createFixture(Date date, String venue)
{
def fixture = new Fixture(date: date, venue:venue)
fixture.save()
fixture
}
void updateFixture(Fixture fixture,Date date, String venue)
{
fixture.date = date
fixture.venue = venue
fixture.save()
}
Team createTeam(String teamName1, String teamName2, long fixtureId){
def team = new Team(teamName1: teamName1, teamName2: teamName2, fixture: Fixture.load(fixtureId))
team.save()
team
}
void updateTeam(String teamName1, String teamName2, long fixtureId) {
team.teamName1 = teamName1
team.teamName2 = teamName2
team.fixture = Fixture.load(fixtureId)
team.save()
}
}
A formfield.gsp for the form
${label}: <span class="errors"><g:fieldError bean="${bean}" field="${field}" /></span>
<br/>
<g:textField name="${name + '.' +field}" value="${fieldValue(bean:bean, field:field)}" />
In addition I've created 3 gsp files, add to add a fixture, find, finds a fixture by venue and show which shows fixtures, here are the 3 gsp files:

Also my default home page is index.gsp, where users are expected to click a link to find fixtures which in turn allows a fixture to be added
