try-catch block not suppressing java.lang.NullPointerException
<p>I am getting the java.lang.NullPointerException and i am not sure why. I am trying to use a try-catch block but it does not work. Can anyone explain what is wrong with this block?</p>

<pre><code>public PriceDataAdder(Connection conn) {
        try {
            this.conn = conn;
            statement = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO `blah` (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,`i`,j) VALUE( ?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,? )");
        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(PriceDataAdder.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
</code></pre>
