Hi ,
In liferay 7.4.3.6 CE GA6 Created using spring MVC portlet and trying to access the custome table entity inside in action class but not able to access
when i write List<Employee> employee = EmployeeLocalServiceUtil.getEmployee(-1,-1); like this then getting the below error
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.service.EmployeeLocalServiceUtil.getEmployee(EmployeeLocalServiceUtil.java:294)

if i will try defernt way

@Reference
private SubmittalLocalService _submittalService;

List<Submittal> Submittal1 = _submittalService.getSubmittals(-1, -1);
here _submittalService is getting the null value and not able to proceed

in gradle service using like below
compile project(":modules:employee-service:employee-service-api")

Is it required any more configurations?

Note: it's working fine in liferay module only issue in spring mvc portlet
