Having the NPE problem during view initialization I determined that this element
@UiField(provided=true) ShortMessageBox shortMessageBox; causes it. When I remove it from the view everything works fine. The ShortMessageBox is defined UIBinder-based componet: public class ShortMessageBox extends Composite { public interface ShortMessageBoxUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, ShortMessageBox> { } @Inject public ShortMessageBox(final ShortMessageBoxUiBinder uiBinder) { super(); initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this)); clearMessageWidget(); } .... } As you can see I am using gin but I have other similarly defined components that work just fine. Since I am not looking for solution with this question I don't provide all supporting code. The question is how to troubleshoot/debug UIBinder views and components when the following exception encountered during initialization: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.myapp.client.ui.ShortMessageBox_ShortMessageBoxUiBinderImpl.createAndBindUi(ShortMessageBox_ShortMessageBoxUiBinderImpl.java: 18) at com.myapp.client.ui.ShortMessageBox_ShortMessageBoxUiBinderImpl.createAndBindUi(ShortMessageBox_ShortMessageBoxUiBinderImpl.java: 1) at com.myapp.client.ui.ShortMessageBox.<init>(ShortMessageBox.java: 33) at com.myapp.client.gin.MyAppGinjectorImpl.com$myapp$client$ui $ShortMessageBox_ShortMessageBox_methodInjection(MyAppGinjectorImpl.java: 1058) My problem is that something obviously going wrong during ShortMessageBox initialization but no detailed information or ways to debug it that I know of... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
