and then the code associated with the following bean method:

@ManagedBean(name="lazyBean")
    @ViewScoped
    public class Lazy extends LazyDataModel<Projet>  {
 public void onRowSelect(SelectEvent event) {
            FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Projet Selected", ((Projet) event.getObject()).getIdprojet().toString());
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, msg);
        }

and this the xhtml page:

<h:form id="form">
            <p:dataTable var="current" value="#{ProjetComponent.lazyModel}"  
                paginator="true" rows="10"

                </p:column>

            </p:dataTable>

your problem is this methode return null

 @Override
    public Projet getRowData(String rowKey) {
        for(Projet projet : datasource) {
            if(projet.getIdprojet().equals(rowKey))
                return projet;
        }

        return null;
    }

delete it and try

Based on your stacktrace,

at com.gestion.projet.web.jsf.Lazy.onRowSelect(Lazy.java:68),

I suppose, line 68 is FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Projet Selected", ((Projet) event.getObject()).getIdprojet().toString());

So it seems like SelectEvent event, your parameter, is null, check what you ara passing to this method and add a if statement:

public void onRowSelect(SelectEvent event) {
    if (event != null){
        FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Projet Selected", ((Projet) event.getObject()).getIdprojet().toString());
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, msg);
    }
}

You should read What is a NullReferenceException, and how do I fix it?

this is the line 68: FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Projet Selected", ((Projet) event.getObject()).getIdprojet().toString()); – Ayman S Jun 06 '14 at 11:13
If `event` is not null, then either `getObject`, or `getIdproject` is returning null. Check that those methods are not returning null – Alejandro Alcalde Jun 06 '14 at 11:15
is what I need to add another condition to check if getObject is null? – Ayman S Jun 06 '14 at 11:18
No, are populating `event` yourself outside of this method? – Alejandro Alcalde Jun 06 '14 at 11:19
