             Summary: NPE during enhancement processing
                 Key: OPENJPA-2331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2331
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Enhance
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3
            Reporter: Kevin Sutter


Based on a discussion in the Users mailing list:
http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Request-for-help-in-fixing-an-issue-in-build-time-enhancement-td7582737.html

The user was migrating an application from Hibernate to OpenJPA.  The 
application used inheritance.  The Hibernate mapping file did not have separate 
entity mappings for one of the parent entity classes.  The tooling [1] 
generated an orm.xml file with attributes of the parent entity class mixed in 
with the child class.  These errant attributes caused the issues with the 
enhancement processing.

So, a combination of the migration tools along with the mixed up orm xml files 
led to these errors.  But, still an NPE is not good and we should handle these 
conditions better.  Thus, this JIRA...
