Linkstore doesn't have a no-arg constructor does it? If so, then selectedTags
could be null. You could change its declaration to
@Persistent(defaultFetchGroup = "true")
private Set<Key> selectedTags = new HashSet<Key>(0);
I've always initialized my Collections at the declaration.
Just for experimentation, try changing its declaration to that and see what
happens.
WATCH OUT THOUGH: if you you're using eclipse you may have it configured to add
a final to fields and variables that are set when they're declared and not
subsequently written to. If that happens then DataNucleus ignores final
fields. (I wish I could change some setting to have DN throw an exception in
that situation.)
