用户信息模块，更新数据出现NullPointerException的解决办法

本人用servlet+jsp写的用户信息模块儿，在测试更新数据时出现NullPointerException，更新的数据中含有Birthday字段，源码如下：

public void updateCustomer(Customer customer) throws IdIsNullException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(customer.getId()==null || customer.getId().trim().equals(""))
            throw new IdIsNullException() ;
        try{
            conn = JdbcUtil.getConn() ;

            String sql = "update customer set name=?,gender=?,birthday=?,cellphone=?,email=?,hobby=?,type=?,description=? where id=?" ;
            stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql) ;
            stmt.setString(1, customer.getName());
            stmt.setString(2, customer.getGender());
            stmt.setDate(3, new java.sql.Date(customer.getBirthday().getTime()));
            stmt.setString(4, customer.getCellphone());
            stmt.setString(5, customer.getEmail());
            stmt.setString(6, customer.getHobby());
            stmt.setString(7, customer.getType());
            stmt.setString(8, customer.getDescription());
            stmt.setString(9 , customer.getId()) ;
            stmt.executeUpdate() ;
        }catch(Exception e) {
            throw new DaoException(e) ;
        }finally {
            JdbcUtil.release(rs, stmt, conn);
        }
    }

测试代码如下：

@Test 
    public void testUpdateCustomer() throws IdIsNullException {
        c = new CustomerDaoImpl() ;
        System.out.println(c);
        Customer customer = new Customer() ;
        System.out.println(customer);
        customer.setId("0478");

        customer.setDescription("内蒙巴彦淖尔市");
        c.updateCustomer(customer);
    }

本测试代码修改了Id为“0478”的记录的Description字段，进行Junit测试时出现NullPointerException异常。后来发现，需要重新填写Birthday字段才可以修改成功。

解决办法：

@Test 
    public void testUpdateCustomer() throws IdIsNullException {
        c = new CustomerDaoImpl() ;
        System.out.println(c);
        Customer customer = new Customer() ;
        System.out.println(customer);
        customer.setId("0478");
        customer.setBirthday(new Date()) ;
        customer.setDescription("内蒙巴彦淖尔市");
        c.updateCustomer(customer);
    }

将Birthday字段重新填写，就可以更新成功了。这里设置当前时间，用户也可以根据自己的需要来设置，这里就不在演示。
