I currently have a dataTable connecting to a database. It all worked fine including insert and delete. I then tried to add editing into my dataTable and all of a sudden I get the following error:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [FacesServlet] in context with path [/ProEJT] threw exception [null] with root cause java.lang.NullPointerException at org.primefaces.component.celleditor.CellEditorRenderer.encodeEnd(CellEditorRenderer.java:38) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeEnd(UIComponentBase.java:875) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1786) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1782) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeCell(DataTableRenderer.java:823) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeRow(DataTableRenderer.java:784) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeRows(DataTableRenderer.java:699) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeTbody(DataTableRenderer.java:654) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeRegularTable(DataTableRenderer.java:249) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeMarkup(DataTableRenderer.java:211) at org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTableRenderer.encodeEnd(DataTableRenderer.java:83) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeEnd(UIComponentBase.java:875) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1786) at javax.faces.render.Renderer.encodeChildren(Renderer.java:168) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeChildren(UIComponentBase.java:845) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1779) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1782) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:1782) at com.sun.faces.application.view.FaceletViewHandlingStrategy.renderView(FaceletViewHandlingStrategy.java:437) at com.sun.faces.application.view.MultiViewHandler.renderView(MultiViewHandler.java:124) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RenderResponsePhase.execute(RenderResponsePhase.java:120) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:101) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:139) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:594) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:305) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:210) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:222) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:123) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:502) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:171) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:99) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke(AccessLogValve.java:953) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:118) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:408) at org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor.process(AbstractHttp11Processor.java:1023) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$AbstractConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:589) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(JIoEndpoint.java:310) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

As far as I can tell, this does not tell me where the NullPointerException comes from in my code. I have tried what feels like a million different things with no luck.

My dataTable:

Just have a look at this and find the difference with your code. – Xtreme Biker
I used the Show Case row edit example to create the editing and have had another look through it and cannot see any differences – DaRoGa
I don't think you did this code based in the showcase. I had a general look to it (for 30 secs) and saw an important difference which can cause the error. Just have a look to it and you'll notice. By the way, dataTable doesn't have ajax attribute as far as I know. – Xtreme Biker
I have a suggestion for you. Instead of looking for differences, do a backup of the file you posted. Then copy-paste the showcase code and start adapting it to your code, till it works. You've a lot of mess in your table, just start from a basic one and add everything you need when it's working. – Xtreme Biker
I did start from a basic one and added each little thing bit by bit and got each working before I started the next one. What mess are you talking about? Is there unnecessary elements to it or just a lot of things? – DaRoGa

Use input & output facet in small cases;

<f:facet name="output">
</f:facet>

<f:facet name="input">
</f:facet>

Yes sometimes is because is not the same example of the showcase, in my case use the same structure for my window.

<p:cellEditor>
    <f:facet name="output"><h:outputText value="#{car.id}" /></f:facet>
    <f:facet name="input"><p:inputText id="modelInput" value="#{car.id}" style="width:96%"/></f:facet>
</p:cellEditor>
