[Gvsig_english] Errors while modifying a dbasefile

[Matthieu Voorons]

Hi list,
I'm still trying to play with a dbf file. I don't have any problem to 
read the file and make some basic queries, but I have some problems when 
I try to modify and save the dbasefile.
I get a null pointer exception when I try to add a new record to the dbase.
   String expression = insert into properties(NAME,STREET,CITY,ZIP) 
values (myname,myroad,mycity,88818);
   DataSource ds = sds.getDataSourceFactory().executeSQL(expression, 
DataSourceFactory.AUTOMATIC_OPENING); //here I get a nullpointerexception
Do I have to specify somewhere that I am in editing mode ? Is there 
another way to simply add a record to a dbase?

What should I do if I want to save the modified dbasefile (in a new file 
or not) ?
I tried :
           SelectableDataSource sds = new 
SelectableDataSource(dataSource);//the data to save
           EditableAdapter auxea = new EditableAdapter();
           auxea.setOriginalDataSource(sds);
           DbfWriter writer = new DbfWriter();
           writer.setFile(new File("c:\\savedDbf.dbf"));
           try {
               auxea.saveEdits(writer, EditionEvent.ALPHANUMERIC);
           } catch (EditionException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
           }
but I get a nullpointerexception on the line auxea.saveEdits
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
