how can I fix the .ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

when I put a gap between quotation marks " " I have ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and when I close quotation marks "" inside the split it shows on my board the first letter of firstname and the first letter of lastname.More spesific the console shows problem in (UserServiceImpl.java:68),(UserServiceImpl.java:60),(UserServiceImpl.java:61),(AuthController.java:60)

>Solution :

The user name field may not have a space in it, i.e. has just one component, in which case referencing the second element of the array after splitting would result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Try catering to this possibility to avoid the error.

private UserDto convertEntityToDto(User user) {
    UserDto userDto = new UserDto();
    String[] names = user.getName().split(" ");
    userDto.setFirstName(names[0]);
    userDto.setLastName(names.length > 1 ? names[1] : "");
    userDto.setEmail(user.getEmail());
    return userDto;
}
