    Hi Michael

    Thanks for the help. Next question. I have a one to many Partner ->
    Customer relationship defined.
    When creating a new customer, I try to setup the relationship as follows:

              partner.addToCustomers(customer);
              customer.setPartner(partner);

    I get a NullPointer, even though customer and partner are not null.

    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
    java.lang.NullPointerException
