NullPointerException

[Awbrey Hughlett]

I have an entity named "Specific" and an attribute named  
"specificType". I have a WOTextField bound to specific.specificType  
and a WOSubmitButton bound to saveChanges() all wrapped in a WOForm.  
When I run the component and click to save changes to the database, I  
get a NullPointerException. Have I instantiated the Specific entity  
and inserted it into an editing context correctly? Or do I have other  
problems?

public class SpecificEntry extends WOComponent {
        private Specific specific;
        private EOEditingContext ec = new EOEditingContext();
        
    public SpecificEntry(WOContext context) {
        super(context);
    }
    public Specific specific() {
        if (specific == null) {
                editingContext().revert();
                
    		specific = (Specific)EOUtilities.createAndInsertInstance 
(editingContext(), "Specific");
        }
        
        return specific;
    }

    public WOComponent saveChanges() {
        
        editingContext().saveChanges();
        
        setSpecific(null);
        
        return context().page();
    }

    public EOEditingContext editingContext() {
        return ec;
    }

    public void setSpecific(Specific newSpecific) {
        specific = newSpecific;
    }
}

Thanks,
