Problem Note 47290: A null pointer exception occurs and the Alert Details screen in the SAS® Anti-Money Laundering user interface fails to render

DetailsAboutRate It

The Alert Details screen might fail to render in the user interface if the columns FSK_ALERT.PRIMARY_ENTITY_NAME and FSC_HOUSEHOLD_DIM.HEAD_OF_HOUSEHOLD_NAME contain null values. The null values causes Java to issue a null pointer exception error in the application server log that is similar to the following:

[12/8/09 8:24:55:937 CST] 00000022 ServletWrappe E   SRVE0068E: Uncaught
exception thrown in one of the service methods of the servlet:
/alert_details.jsp. Exception thrown : java.lang.NullPointerException
	at java.net.URLEncoder.encode(URLEncoder.java:227)
	at com.ibm._jsp._alert_5F_details._jspService(_alert_5F_details.java:1990)
	at com.ibm.ws.jsp.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:87)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856)
	at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:1095)
	at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:569)

This problem has been resolved by editing the SQL query in sasaml.RDBMS to return non-null values to the calling Java program.
