any idea??

[rubberman]

Send us the diagnostics that are emitted when the program is run on a command line.

first the code is to create 4 classes in java by jcreator to make a Message server.
the 4 classes are Main that wrote above , User , network and Message.
i will post the other 3 classes.
the error that when i run >>

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at User.send(User.java:55)
        at Main.main(Main.java:9)

this is the Message class

public class Message{
    String sender;

        receiver = r;
        subject = x;
        body = b;
    }
    public boolean isValid() {
        if (sender == null || receiver == null){

[Waleeed]

please i need a help??

[Waleeed]

any idea rubberman please?

[rubberman]

Well, the error is happening in the User.send(Message) where it calls myNetwork.sendPendingEmailFrom(this). Since the myNetwork member of User u1 is still null, boom! :-)

[Waleeed]

sorry, can you tell what can i do?

[1stDAN]

in main you send the message (u1.send(m)) prior to add a user (n.add(u1)). So the order seems to be wrong.
Maybe you should also check whether a user exists or not in method Network.sendPendingEmailFrom.
