NullPointerException in vaadin table?

Question

I'm having a problem with vaadin table. When I change row of values displayed returns NullPointerException and I don't know why. In vaadin book chapter5 Table, there a method setNullSelectionAllowed(false) when this problem happens, but still doesn't work to me.

// Table configs
Table tabela = new Table();
tabela.setSizeFull();       
tabela.addContainerProperty("Aperfeiçoamento", String.class, null);
tabela.addContainerProperty("Entidade", String.class, null);
tabela.addContainerProperty("Início", String.class, null);
tabela.addContainerProperty("Conclusão", String.class, null);   
tabela.setNullSelectionAllowed(false);
tabela.setImmediate(true);
tabela.setSelectable(true);
tabela.setColumnReorderingAllowed(false);
tabela.addValueChangeListener(this);

@Override
public void valueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    /** preenche os campos do formulario com o id do aperfeicoamento */
    String id = event.getProperty().getValue().toString();
    List<Aperfeicoamento> lista = new AperfeicoamentoDAO().getAperfeicoamentoById(Integer.parseInt(id));
    if(!lista.isEmpty()){
        try{
            for(Aperfeicoamento apf : lista){
                aperfeicoamento.setValue(apf.getAperfeicoamento());
                entidadeEnsino.setValue(apf.getEntidadeEnsino());
                cidade.setValue(apf.getCidade());
                comboEstado.setValue(apf.getEstado());
                inicio.setValue(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(apf.getInicio()));
                conclusao.setValue(!apf.getConclusao().isEmpty() ? new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(apf.getConclusao()) : null);    
            }
        }catch(ParseException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

// DAO
/** retorna uma lista de perfeicoamento por id e cpf */
public List<Aperfeicoamento> getAperfeicoamentoById(Integer id){
    List<Aperfeicoamento> lista = new ArrayList<Aperfeicoamento>();     
    try{
        PreparedStatement stm = this.con.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM aperfeicoamento WHERE idAperfeicoamento = ? AND cpf = ?");         
        stm.setInt(1, id);
        stm.setString(2, SessionCurriculum.getCpfInSession());
        ResultSet rs = stm.executeQuery();
        if(rs.next()){
            Aperfeicoamento apf = new Aperfeicoamento();
            apf.setIdAperfeicoamento(rs.getInt("idAperfeicoamento"));
            apf.setAperfeicoamento(rs.getString("aperfeicoamento"));
            apf.setEntidadeEnsino(rs.getString("entidadeensino"));
            apf.setCidade(rs.getString("cidade"));
            apf.setEstado(rs.getString("estado"));
            apf.setInicio(new ControlaDatas().getDataFormatada(rs.getString("inicio")));
            apf.setConclusao(rs.getString("conclusao") == null ? null : new ControlaDatas().getDataFormatada(rs.getString("conclusao")));
            lista.add(apf);
        }
        rs.close();
        stm.close();
    }catch(SQLException e){
        new Notification("Erro tentando select em aperfeiçoamento <br/>", e.getLocalizedMessage(), Notification.Type.ERROR_MESSAGE, true).show(Page.getCurrent());          
    }
    return lista;
}

Any idea ?

When you write setNullSelectionAllowed(false) it does not mean that there will always be some item selected. In you case to avoid NPE:

• use setNullSelectionItemId() to set some default value
• check if some item is selected with if(event.getProperty().getValue() != null)
