Have you tried narrowing it down? Using the debugger etc?

I have no idea whether your line numbering agrees with the numbering assigned by Daniweb, so I won't try to look at line 222 of the source here (though it's possible that it's the problem line)

Here's a procedure for fixing this sort of thing:
Open up your editor of choice and go to line 222. Find every object on that line. Prior to that line insert a println that outputs the name of the variable as a literal string, followed by a call to the object's toString() method.

Something like:

System.out.println("object1: " + object1.toString());
System.out.println("object2: " + object2.toString());

for each object you find on that line.
When you run it, you'll see something like

object1: null

Now you know which object is null. Trace back through the code. Where is the last place that you touched that object? It must be null after that instruction, so how did it get that way? (use another println to verify its state if necessary)

Objects don't set themselves to null - either it was never assigned a value, or you assigned it a null value.
