[protege-discussion] a simple questions about owl programming

The code you had essentially works except that the line

>              OWLObjectProperty individual = (OWLObjectProperty) jt.next();

is unlikely to succeed.  You would expect the next value to be an 
OWLIndividual (or a literal) not an object property.

The first warning is weird but the exception means what it says.  Your 
owlModel does not have a hasSon object property in it so objectProp is null.

The "Classes and instances" example from [1] has individuals.  To write 
your code in the owl api you simply put:

     OWLNamedIndividual jim = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(":jim", prefixManager);
     OWLObjectProperty hasSon = factory.getOWLObjectProperty(":hasSon", prefixManager);

     for (OWLIndividual son : jim.getObjectPropertyValues(hasSon, ontology)) {
         System.out.println(" - " + son);
     }
