NumberFormatException:null

Now I have been stuck by an error which shows the following error in the Eclipse browser.The Error looks like:

13:53:12,294 INFO  [STDOUT] 30
13:53:12,294 ERROR [[Expthsmon]] Servlet.service() for servlet Expthsmon threw exception
java.lang.NumberFormatException: null

I believe that this part of the code 

int amountofnoon=0;
    int amountofafternoon=0;
    int noofnoon=0;
    int noofafternoon=0;
    String amountnoon=null;
    String amountafternoon=null;
    amountnoon=request.getParameter("amountnoon");
    amountafternoon=request.getParameter("amountafternoon");
    //if((amountnoon !=null )&&(amountafternoon !=null))

     amountofnoon=Integer.parseInt(amountnoon);
     System.out.println(""+amountofnoon);
     amountofafternoon=Integer.parseInt(amountafternoon);
     System.out.println(""+amountofafternoon);

is creating problem,where amountofnoon and amountofafternoon should be integer value.What should I do?

I am also adding the jsp part of code from where it is getting the value:

<form name="expenditurefthsmon" action="Expthsmon">
<div align="center">Enter The Amount of Days Expenditure</div>
 <div align="center"><input type="text"  name="amountnoon"></input></div>
 <div align="center">Enter The Amount of Nights Expenditure</div>
<div align="center"><input type="text" name=amountafternoon"></input></div>
 <div align="center"><input type="submit" value="Calculate"></input></div>"
</form>

The above code in your html misses a quotation mark for the name attribute

<div align="center"><input type="text" name=amountafternoon"></input></div>

It should be

<div align="center"><input type="text" name="amountafternoon"></input></div>

Other than that, you must never trust the input from the user and always validate it againts invalid or null values before going into your core logic.

Most likely, one of these two calls returns null:

amountnoon=request.getParameter("amountnoon");
amountafternoon=request.getParameter("amountafternoon");

Trying logging/printing these two values before passing them to Integer.parseInt.

If you pass null to parseInt, you'll get a NumberFormatException: null error as you described.

you should check for null value. e.g.

if(amountnoon != null){
    amountofnoon=Integer.parseInt(amountnoon);
}

amountnoon AND/OR amountafternoon has value null, You need to validate request parameters for its nullity
