Hello! I am writing a program which sums over the a field of every entry in a table. My failure happens right here:

Code:
...
        long cents = session.createCriteria(Payment.class)
              .<Long>setProjection(Projections.sum("totalAmountCents")).uniqueResult();
...


However, when there are no Payments stored this throws a Null Pointer Exception. What is the best way to handle this? I don't really want to catch a NPE, but I also want to be able to handle no payments (I want it to return 0 in that case)

What is the best way to handle this?
