java.lang.NullPointerException

[Anonymous]

I'm using Talend Open Studio for Data Integration version 7.1.1.  I'm trying to run a subjob with an output to Contact object in Salesforce. I'm getting this error when running: 

Exception in component tMap_1 (STARS2)
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sagestars.stars2_0_1.STARS2.tDBInput_1Process(STARS2.java:5742)
at sagestars.stars2_0_1.STARS2.runJobInTOS(STARS2.java:15012)
at sagestars.stars2_0_1.STARS2.main(STARS2.java:14863)

tmap has a few Expressions with 'null' but i'm not sure if these are the issues? 

("Deceased".equals(row1.STATUS))? (row1.STATUS_DT.equals("")?null:row1.STATUS_DT):null

("Deceased".equals(row1.STATUS))?null row1.STATUS_DT.equals("")?null:row1.STATUS_DT)

I don't know what else it could be?

Change for

("Deceased".equals(row1.STATUS)) ? ("".equals(row1.STATUS_DT) ? null : row1.STATUS_DT) : null

TRF: I changed to what you suggested but i'm still getting the error, should i be changing the other null expression as well? I now have as the two null expressions in the tmap:

("Deceased".equals(row1.STATUS))? ("".equals(row1.STATUS_DT)? null : row1.STATUS_DT): null

and 

("Deceased".equals(row1.STATUS))?null row1.STATUS_DT.equals("")?null:row1.STATUS_DT)

Check your schema in tmap if the destination column is a Nullable column
