Re: [Treebase-devel] null@submission.user_id

[youjun g. <you...@ya...>]

I checked with Bill and he get a solution.

The column should not be null. It is very likely in our code, given a
submission we want to retrieve the info of the submitter so a call like

User user=submission.getSubmitter()     if this returns null,
then user.getXXX() will cause a null pointer.exception
