How to update specific Grails domain class properties?

Question

I am trying to update the password of currently logged in user. But it shows me null point exception.

Profile Controller:

def doPasswordChange(){
    def response = authenticationService.getMember()
    if (!response) {
        flash.message = AppUtil.infoMessage(g.message(code: "invalid.entity"), false)
        redirect(controller: "profile", action: "changePassword")
    } else {
        response = profileService.doPasswordChange(response, params)
        if (!response.isSuccess) {
            flash.redirectParams = response.model
            flash.message = AppUtil.infoMessage(g.message(code: "password.not.change"), false)
            redirect(controller: "profile", action: "changePassword")
        } else {
            flash.message = AppUtil.infoMessage(g.message(code: "updated"))
            redirect(controller: "profile", action: "index")
        }
    }
}

ProfileService:

def doPasswordChange(Member member, GrailsParameterMap params){
    params.password = params.password.encodeAsMD5()
    params.newPassword = params.newPassword.encodeAsMD5()
    params.confirmPassword = params.confirmPassword.encodeAsMD5()
    def response = AppUtil.saveResponse(false, member)
    if(member.password==params.password && params.confirmPassword==params.newPassword){
        member.password = params.newPassword     //this line is gives me  null point exception
        if(member.validate()){
            log.warn myDomainObj.errors.allErrors.join(' \n')
            member.save(flush: true, failOnError:true)
            response.isSuccess = true
        }
        else println("ok")
    }
    return response
}

Gives me this error :

I tried only assigning a new value to other member class properties. Same error. How can I solve it?

add property useToken="true" in form

<g:form  name="applyForm" useToken="true">
  //ur code
  </g:form>

put ur action's code into withForm{}

withForm {
//ur origin code in action
}.invalidToken {
//what to do when token invalidate
        }
