Adding integers...

[Anonymous]

Hi there,
I am newbie, so I'm sorry if the question is so basic 😉
I have an integer context variable called context.nb_lignes
In a tJava composant I would like to increment this variable as follows:
context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes = context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes + ((Integer)globalMap.get("tSalesforceOutput_2_NB_LINE"));
But Talend crashes again and again with the followingg message.
"Exception in component tJava_1
java.lang.NullPointerException
at parot_digital.jdintegsfc_ent_compte_alim_0_1.JdIntegSfc_ENT_COMPTE_Alim.tMysqlInput_1Process(JdIntegSfc_ENT_COMPTE_Alim.java:6073)
at ..."
Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hello Rubianes,
Check the data type of the context variable you have declared? Is it Integer or String?
Also it is a good idea to initialize the value of the variable before you add another value to it.
So the better way to do it would be as follows:
if (context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes == null) {
context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes = 0;
}
context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes += ((Integer)globalMap.get("tSalesforceOutput_2_NB_LINE"));

Note: if you have declared the variable as String then the values will be concatenated and not added.

Thanks for your answer.
The context variable is an integer initilized (=0) in the context.
With your modification same error! :-((
Any idea?

Try 

context.setProperty("InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes", context.InfoGenerale_NB_Lignes + ((Integer)globalMap.get("tSalesforceOutput_2_NB_LINE")))
