[sapphire-dev] XmlElementDefinitionByReference NPE

[Greg Amerson <gregory.amerson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

With my sapphire model that I've been using for several weeks all of a sudden (with latest updates) stopped working when trying to add a particular child element.  Not every child element fails to be able to be inserted but sometimes I get a NPE down in XmlElementDefinitionByReference.  here is where I'm seeing it:

> > line 92
> > final XmlElementDefinition definition = getSchema().getElement(getName().getLocalPart());

This is sometimes returning a null value and the very next line will throw the NPE and this prevents the new child node from being added in the masterDetail page:

> > if (definition.isAbstract()) {

When I change this to add a null check everything seems to work ok.  Sapphire is able to insert the new child element in the UI and in the source.

> > if (definition != null && definition.isAbstract()) {

Any thoughts?
