I get trouble with java.lang.NullPointerException while loading n-triple file into a Jena SDB Model


I've a an n-triple file that i need to store it in a database through Jena SDB Model. I've write the following code to do that. But i struggle with a java.lang.NullPointerException that I don't really have any clue about what made it to happen and how to fix it. Here is the code :

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.InputStream;

import com.hp.hpl.jena.db.DBConnection;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntModel;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.ProfileRegistry;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.Model;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.ModelFactory;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.ModelMaker;

public class JenaRepositoryManagement {

    private MySQLAccess mysql  = null;  
    private String      dbname = null;


    private String xmlbase  = "http://www.test.org/test.owl#";

    private OntModel domainModel = null;

    public JenaRepositoryManagement (String databaseName) {

        dbname = "sdb_" + databaseName;

        mysql  = new MySQLAccess();

        mysql.createDatabase(dbname);

        impotring();
    }


    public void importing() {
        // Instantiate the MySQL driver
        try {

            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");


        // Create a database connection object
        DBConnection connection = new DBConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/"+dbname, "root", "", "MySQL");

        // Get a ModelMaker for database-backed models
        ModelMaker maker = ModelFactory.createModelRDBMaker(connection);

        Model traceModel = maker.createModel("testModel");

        // Start a database transaction. Without one, each statement will be auto-committed
        traceModel.begin();         



        InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/nts/100.nt");

        traceModel.read(in, xmlbase, "N-TRIPLE");

        traceModel.write(System.out); 

        // Commit the database transaction
        traceModel.commit();



    } catch (ClassNotFoundException | FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


}

}

Here is the output during the execution

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS sdb_100_n;

And finally Here is a sample of the n-triple file

Solution

  • Based on this code (I'm guessing on the line numbers, but I'm pretty sure I'm right):

    /* 69 */ InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/nts/100.nt");
    /* 70 */ traceModel.read(in, xmlbase, "N-TRIPLE");
    

    and the beginning of the stacktrace:

    java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.io.Reader.<init>(Reader.java:78)
        at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(InputStreamReader.java:129)
        at com.hp.hpl.jena.util.FileUtils.asUTF8(FileUtils.java:51)
        at com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.impl.NTripleReader.read(NTripleReader.java:72)
        at com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.impl.ModelCom.read(ModelCom.java:226)
        …
    

    I'd guess that in is null. Maybe that pathname needs to be "/data/nts/100.nt" (note the / at the beginning).

    The stacktrace contains line numbers, and I'm pretty sure they point you to the problematic line. This is something that shouldn't be too hard to run in a debugger. Even if you can't run it in a debugger, if you're getting a null pointer exception, and you have a reference to a particular line, it's typically a good idea to check which values are used on that line and check whether they're null or not. In this case, you could just do:

    InputStream in = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("data/nts/100.nt");
    Objects.requireNonNull( in, "InputStream for resource data/nts/100.nt should not be null." );
    traceModel.read(in, xmlbase, "N-TRIPLE");
