Cayenne -- Apache re-deploy problem -- NullPointerException

[Marc Gabriel-Willem]

Hi,

 

I'm using Cayenne (2.0.2) with the apache web server (5.5.20) and I'm
facing to the following problem.

 

When apache does an automatic deploy, all objects are serialized /
deserialized without any error. 

But after that, when the code accesses a cayenne persistent object
(member variable of a jsf backing bean), the following problem occurs:

 

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

For information, the following code throws that exception (the call to
the size() method) :

List itemsToRemove = m_editableGroup.getGroupContentArray();

      for (int i=0; i < itemsToRemove.size(); i++)

            ...

Note: Child data context and ObjectEntities are stored in a serializable
jsf backing bean.

 

Thank you for your help.
