java.lang.NullPointerException in JSF validator

Question

here is the code for my jsf managed bean:

for (Row row: rows) {
   HasbroIssuanceDateData data1 = extractedDateData.get(row);

   if (data.getOpeningBankReference().equals(data1.getOpeningBankReference())) {
     for (Row anotherRow: anotherRows) {
          //here you have all the rows you need.
     }
   }

here is my jsf file:

Now when i click on back commandButton with value back the control is supposed to go to adminmenu.xhtml but instead it gives the above null pointer exception.This happens when i leave the form fields empty. i have tried the silly small tricks to avoid npe but in vain please help me figure out the problem. thanks in advance...
