*A lot of the code regarding the GUI is generated by NetBeans.
The problem I am getting is on the client side, telling me that uploadBtn is null, nullPointException. Am pretty sure this is because it is not instantiated and am adding an actionListener in the constructor. I built the GUI via NetBeans, not really sure how to go about it.
What I want is when the uploadBtn is clicked, something to happen on the client and server side. Once the button is clicked, it does call the actionPerformed() NetBeans created for me on the client side, but not sure how to check if the button is pressed on the server side, and if so, it would call a method in the server. Any help appreciated. Am using sockets/datagram. College project.
