Java xml出现错误 javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException解决办法：
利用Java操作XML，在操作XML过程中，执行到最后一步，在利用Transformer进行XML转换时出现NullPointerException错误，出问题的部分代码如下：

//转换
TransformerFactory tFactory =TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
//需要转换的内存中XML源文件
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(xmlDoc1);
//生成的xml文件
File xmlDoc2 = new File(outPutPath+generateXmlFileName);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(xmlDoc2);
//转换
transformer.transform(source, result);

运行到transform函数时出现以下错误（比较长，由于我是利用SWING设计图形界面的，所以会有一些图形界面事件调用的错误）：

一开始我也感到奇怪，transform函数只是把在内存中的XML树转换成文件，为何会出现nullPointer错误呢。上网查了一下，没什么人找到答案，最后在（http://blog.awe.cz/post/english/beware-of-null-text-nodes/）这个blog中找到相当有用的答案.
其实认真看看出错的信息，会发现有个信息比较重要：

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.ToUnknownStream.characters(ToUnknownStream.java:317)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.DOM2TO.parse(DOM2TO.java:240)
|
从这里可以看出是由于com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.ToUnknownStream.java文件中的characters函数出错，所在行数是317,到jdk安装目录，找到src，到相应的文件夹serializer中找到ToUnknownStream.java，找到以下函数

/**
* Converts the String to a character array and calls the SAX method
* characters(char[],int,int);
*
* @see ExtendedContentHandler#characters(String)
*/
public void characters(String chars) throws SAXException
{
final int length = chars.length();
if (length > m_charsBuff.length)
{
m_charsBuff = new char[length*2 + 1];
}
chars.getChars(0, length, m_charsBuff, 0);
this.characters(m_charsBuff, 0, length);
}
|
很明显，注意int length = chars.length(); 如果参数chars是null的话，调用length函数就会出现nullpoiterException错误。再上一层，com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax下的DOM2TO.java文件的parse函数（240行）:
|
1
2
3
|
case Node.TEXT_NODE:
_handler.characters(node.getNodeValue());
break;
|
在这里，就可以知道characters函数为什么出现null参数了。原因是此结点是文本结点TEXT_NODE,而调用本结点中没有内容(null),当调用getNodeValue时，返回null.
上升到transform函数，出现结点内容为null，那在DOMSource类中，由于它是在内存中建立起来的XML树，所以肯定是这个XML树中的有一个或多个元素或结点的内容为null。
OK，问题原因找到。解决办法很简单，DOMSource中有元素或结点为null，那一定是在操作XML时，或者是修改内容，添加元素等等操作，使内容变为null。所以现在需要做的就是找到修改或添加元素内容的代码，把有可能出现null的情况进行处理，如果检测到为null，则不修改XML或不添加此元素。最简单的方法就是用if语句。即setNodeValue(String str)或setTextContent(String str)之前，先查看参数str是否为空（if(str == null)），如果空则不调用此函数。
而在我的程序中，确实我是把空的内容加入到元素中。代码如下：deviceAndIDMap是一个HashMap，当它调用get时，不存在此主键时，会返回null.
|
1
2
3
|
String neuronIdStr = deviceAndIDMap.get(nameContent);
//更新
neuronIdElem.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(neuronIdStr);
|
因此我加一下if语句，就可以解决问题了，代码（此代码是在for循环中的，因此用coninue来跳过本次的修改）如下：
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
|
String neuronIdStr = deviceAndIDMap.get(nameContent);
if(neuronIdStr == null)
{
continue;
}
//更新
neuronIdElem.getFirstChild().setNodeValue(neuronIdStr);
|
问题解决！
