yeah... the pointer to the collection wasnt null... it looked like a legitimate
allocated collection with a hiberate entity in it.
But as soon as i attempted to reference the collection in the event handler...
boom... NPE
a numega type bounds checker would flush something like this out by flooding
free'd memory or erasing free'd memory with 0's as it gets released.
in this case the GC was a little late in erasing what was released across the
request cycle
enough to give me the jeebies... but glad everything is fine now.
thanks alot guys for your generosity
its nice to know everything is good
:)
