populate lookup field values to other related fields
Hi,
I'm new to salesforce. I want to populate the lookup field values to other input fields on the page as soon as I select the lookup field. Please help me how to pass the value related input field on the page. Here is my code
VF page :
<apex:page sidebar="false" controller="SampleController" >
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock id="pg" >
<apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
<apex:inputField value="{!poReq.Company_Name__c}">
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!getDetails}" rerender="pg"/>
</apex:inputField>
<apex:inputField value="{!poreq.Company_Name__r.Street__c}" label="Street"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Controller :
public with sharing class SampleController {
public po_requisition__c poReq {get;set;}
public vendor__c vend {get;set;}
public SampleController(){
poReq = new po_requisition__c();
vend = new Vendor__C();
}
//public string cname;
public void getDetails(){
// cname = poReq.Company_Name__c;
system.debug('----------------------Company name ------'+poReq.Company_Name__c);
vend = [Select Street__c from Vendor__c where Id =: poReq.Company_Name__c];
system.debug('----------------------Street Is ------'+vend.Street__c); //Up to here code is working fine
poreq.Company_Name__r.Street__c = vend.Street__c; // Its not passing the value to related field here and giving below error
}
}
System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object
Error is in expression '{!getDetails}' in page vsfdcvaluepass: Class.SampleController.getDetails: line 17, column 1
Class.SampleController.getDetails: line 17, column 1

to the following:
The error is b/c the poreq.Company_Name__r is referring to a Vendor__c object but that object has not been instantiated so it's null.

Thanks for your suggestion and it worked. But I have instantiated Vendor__c object in the constructor. Is that not correct way?
Thanks
