I am facing some issue in my Workflow which I have created to Modify any Identity details when I want to change the state of my identity then it shows some error like The application script threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: Null Pointer in Method Invocation BSF info: script at line: 0 column: columnNo I want to know why this happens

Hi Mayank,

Make sure the variable “managerByName” is getting populated from previous step, if ‘managerByName’ is null, the managerIdentity won’t be populated and may cause NullPointerException.

log.error("Selected manager from the previous step is "+managerByName);
Identity managerIdentity=context.getObjectById(Identity.class,managerByName);

And also verify if the managerIdentity is not null.

Identity managerIdentity =context.getObjectById(Identity.class,managerByName);
String managerByName = managerIdentity.getName(); // Here , you may get a NullPointerException if managerIdentity is null

Hi Chathurya, Thanks for your response.
Actually Manager field is working fine, problem is when I want to change district and state field values

tharshith · August 4, 2025, 1:52pm

Hi Mayank,

Please check below points in your code -

Validate if selectIdentity variable is not null
Check if identity is not null

Also please provide logs to investigate further.

Thanks,
Harshith

You should change your method from getObjectById to getObjectByName. getObjectById would be the long hibernate id of the object.

Identity managerIdentity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class, managerByName);

Hi Sunny, I tried this but it still throwing that exception.

Hey Everyone, Thanks for your support. I got the root cause of the error and have fixed it. Now it runs smoothly. Again, Thank you so much to all of you.

Update the solution, so post get closed properly

Sadguru5200 · August 5, 2025, 4:20pm

Actually problem was there in this code
Identity managerIdentity =context.getObjectById(Identity.class,managerByName);
String managerByName = managerIdentity.getName();

Each time this code calls a null value, when I put it in “If” block to check for null or not null, then it runs properly.
