Strange null pointer exceptions

[Jan Berkel]

Hi all,

I keep getting  NullPointerExceptions while retrieving an object from 
the database (OJB 1.0RC4).
My class hierarchy is as follows:

Template (Interface)
BaseTemplate (Abstract class implementing Template)
MailTemplate (Concrete Implementenation extending BaseTemplate)
the code to fetch the object:

Query query = new QueryByCriteria(Template.class, crit);
return (Template) broker.getObjectByQuery(query);
my repository_user.xml is set up as explained in the tutorials 
(extent-class in Template/BaseTemplate etc., to be sure I also used 
ojbConcreteClass to specify the classname)

What does "Skipping class [cabane.templates.MailTemplate]" mean ?
I could not figure it out by reading the code.
Why is RsIterator - hasNext() returning true several times ? There is 
only one entry in the database. I guess this is why OJB is throwing the 
null pointer exception later on.

Thanks in advance for your help,

   Jan Berkel
