Java Development Tools

All,
I have a backing bean where I have bounded a field of an ADF table.

I would like, in the bean, to read the value of that field so that I can use it inside a task flow router.

The question: how to read a value from a ADF table column field ?

In the bean I have the getter and setter of the RichInputText ADF table field. But when I type:
System.out.println("the name is: " + this.getName().getValue());
or
System.out.println("the name is: " + this.Name().getValue());

I get a null pointer exception.


Thanks in advance,
Sergio.
