Hi!
I'm trying to use the Lookup web service from DBpedia, but I'm finding
difficulties because there's very few information on the web. I found a
code example, but when I execute it, *I get the errors:

*java.lang.NullPointerException at
tutorial.DBpediaLookupClient.containsSearchTerms(DBpediaLookupClient.java:111)

*If anybody has any idea of what's wrong please help me.
Or if any of you has any other code example it will help a lot
too.*

*Thank you!*
