Vaadin java.lang.NullPointerException: bean cannot be null (binder) - vaadin

Question

I consistantly get the Exception NullPointerException: bean cannot be null.
I use a service and have a mongoDB locally. I can get the information from it. But if i want to push the button for add my inputs i get this NullPointerException.
My pom is also referring to the latest versions of my dependencies.
How can I avoid this Exception?

Answer 1

I don't see anywhere that you actually call setDevice(). And why is setDevice() outside the class that contains getDevice()?
