I have Department and Employee Entities. Employee table has three columns: DEPARTMENT_ID, KEY, VALUE. Inserted the null value in my insert for non null key in the Employee table. I received NullPOinterException during my update with non null value for exisiting key during prop.put(key, value);

EclipseLink version is 2.5.2

I have Department and Employee Entities and Department Entity class has the following relationship with Employee Entity.

@Entity
@Table(name = "DEPARTMENT" uniqueConstraints = {
@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = { "NAME" }) })
@NamedQueries( {
@NamedQuery(name = Department.findAll", query = "select d from Department d"),
@NamedQuery(name = Department.findByName", query = "select d from Department d WHERE d.name = :name")})

public class Department implements Serializable {

@ElementCollection
@MapKeyColumn( name = "KEY")
@Column( name = "VALUE")
@CollectionTable(name="DEPARTMENT_PROP", joinColumns = @joinColumn(name= "DEPARTMENT_ID))
private final Map<String, String> props = new HashMap();

public Map<String, String> getProperties() {
return properties;
}
