A NullPointerException means that one of the variables you are passing is null, but the code tries to use it like it is not. This error occures when you try to refer to a null object instance. I cant tell you what causes this error by your given information, but you can debug it easily in your IDE. I strongly recommend you that use exception handling to avoid unexpected program behavior.

Paste the snippet of source code of the Register.java at line 214... may be you pass a null value as a String.
