I recently started using activejdbc for a small Java EE project I have to do for school. I'm trying get the value of a foreign key field in an Object table of the DB managed by JDBC in a Servlet. The relations at hand are two tables, one table "Artists" and one table "Records", the latter of which holds a foreign Key to to the PK of an Artist in the "Artists" table, since Artist:Records = 1:n in my model.
I would like to achieve the following: I have a set of "Records" and want to get the corresponding Artist for each record in my JSP. In my Java code this is working fine by doing just this:
//Query the db:
List<Record> mostRecentRecords = Record.findAll().limit(10).orderBy("id asc");
for (Iterator i = mostRecentRecords.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
Record r = (Record) i.next();
Artist a = r.parent(Artist.class);
System.out.println("artist of record: " + a.get("artist_name"));
}
In my console output I can see the artists printed to stdout.
I then proceed to passing this list to the requestDispatcher and render the jsp Template.
So by analogy to this I figured I should be able to do something like that in my jsp:
<c:forEach items="${mostRecentRecords}" var="record">
<c:out value="${record.parent(Artist.class).get('title')}" />
</c:forEach>
If I print the class of the "record" variable in my template loop it says "class model.Record" which is correct.
Upon rendering the servlet, however I get a org.apache.jasper.JasperException: javax.el.ELException: java.lang.NullPointerException.
I have included the full stack trace below.
