为什么执行这段代码时？提示NullPointerException？

String sql="select DM,DMMS,SM from ODS_ZXGL_SRC.bm_jafs where qybz = 1 and dmyyfw like '%,8%' order by xssx"; 
List <Map<String, Object>>list = this.getService().getObjectList(sql); 
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); 
sb.append("["); 
  if (list.size()>0) { 
    for (int i=0;i<list.size();i++) { 
Map<String, Object> map = list.get(i); 
if (i!=0) { 
   sb.append(","); 
} 
sb.append("{\"id\":\"").append(map.get("DM").toString()).append("\","); 
sb.append("\"text\":\"").append(map.get("SM").toString()).append("---").append(map.get("DMMS").toString()).append("\""); 
sb.append("}"); 
System.out.println("capacity=="+sb.capacity()); 
} 
     } 
sb.append("]"); 
this.responseJsonData(sb.toString(), response); 

capacity==70

输出结果如上，这错误是说sb大小不足了吗？
