Hi everybody.

I'm trying to display web page that located in my computer or just (google web page).
But everytime I'mgetting nullpointer exception.

Please help me to figure out the problem.

here is the absolute path that I'm using:

serg@serg-PORTEGE-Z835:~$ find $PWD -type f -name test1.html
/home/serg/Projects/java/GUI/src/its/TestData/test1.html

But the error that I'm getting is null pointer exception

I put a coments in the code so you can see were is the error

(By the way I just start learning GUI, so the problem could be in some other statement =) )

package its.HTML;

import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class SimpleHTMLFrame extends JFrame{
	private JEditorPane ediPane;
	//private static String HTMLSource = "http://www.google.com";
	
	// I think this cause error
	private static String HTMLSource = "/home/serg/Projects/java/GUI/src/its/TestData/test1.html";
	private static String workingDir;
	
	public SimpleHTMLFrame(String URLname) {
		this.setSize(210,300);
		this.setLocation(200,200);
		this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		this.setSize(400,400);
		this.setVisible(true);
		this.setTitle("HTML display");
		
		try {
			ediPane = new JEditorPane(HTMLSource);
			ediPane.setEditable(false);
			
			} catch (Exception e) {
			
                        //ERROR
			// I have Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException in here
			this.getContentPane().add(ediPane);
		}
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SimpleHTMLFrame shf = new SimpleHTMLFrame(HTMLSource);
	}
	
}

What line is the NPE on? What variable has a null value?

Add a call to the printStackTrace method to get the full text of the error message.

so I added printStackTrace and it gave me this:

You have an invalid URL.
You should read the API doc for the URL class to see what a protocol is.

Yeas you absolutely right my path should looked something like that:

file:///home/serg/Projects/java/examples/appletsExamples/SiteSelector.html

But even if I change this my JFrame does not display anything (just blank grey window)

Please post your current code that has the problem.

Where do you add anything to the JFrame?
