Exception thrown by FlexTable

[David Illescas]

Hello. I am fairly new to GWT but really enjoying its use. I have the
following dilemma.

I build a FlexTable using and define the contents of its first row as
follows:

fts.setText(0,0,"Passenger ID");
fts.setText(0, 1, "Source Floor");
fts.setText(0,2, "Destination Floor");

update(index);

The update index is responsible for finishing the initialization.
Inside it has a for loop of the following form:

for(int i = 1; i <= data.passenger_destinations.size(); ++i){
fts.setText(i,0,"Passenger " +
i);
<------------
fts.setText(i,1,
Integer.toString(data.passenger_origins.get(i-1)+1));
fts.getCellFormatter().setHorizontalAlignment(i,
1,HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER);
fts.setText(i,2,
Integer.toString(data.passenger_destinations.get(i-1)+1));
fts.getCellFormatter().setHorizontalAlignment(i,
2,HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER);
}

That is about all the code dealing with the FlexTable. However, when
the code is run, at some point during its execution I get the
following exception:

21:22:34.733 [ERROR] [visualizer] Uncaught exception escaped
com.google.gwt.dev.shell.HostedModeException: Something other than an
int was returned from JSNI method
'@com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLTable::getDOMRowCount(Lcom/google/
gwt/user/client/Element;)': JS value of type null, expected int

That seems clear enough, but when I look at the stack trace, I see
that it happens on the line with the arrow above, and is thrown by the
FlexTable when it tries to get the row count. I am wondering if anyone
knows what is going on, or how to proceed in investigating the matter.
The full stack trace follows.

Is it possible that the List 'data' contains a null value?
and that data.passenger_origins.get(i-1) = null?

This can explain the message 'JS value of type null, expected int'
