GAE backend service insert doesn't work - google-app-engine

Question

my entity class is
#PersistenceCapable
public class User {
#PrimaryKey
#Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key id;
#Persistent
private String userName;
#Persistent
private String password;
public User() {
}
public User(String userName, String password) {
this.userName = userName;
this.password = password;
}
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public Key getId() {
return id;
}
}
i generated a endpoint class, and then deployed it to GAE.
I went to the api explorer
https://apis-explorer.appspot.com/apis-explorer/?base=https://ig-project-1280.appspot.com/_ah/api#p/userendpoint/v1/userendpoint.insertUser?_h=4&resource=%257B%250A++%2522password%2522%253A+%2522welcome1%2522%252C%250A++%2522userName%2522%253A+%2522vik.ceo%2540gmail.com%2522%250A%257D&
and did the insert operation. The error come up is:
com.google.api.server.spi.SystemService invokeServiceMethod: exception occurred while calling backend method
java.lang.NullPointerException

Answer 1

You have a NullPointerException when the method UserEndpoint.containsUser(UserEndpoint.java:152) is invoked.
Your Exception is wrapped in backend service exception class provided by the google api endpoint layer on your application.
Just check your code on that class and you'll find the problem.
