I get the following exception during commiting of transaction.

Exception Description: A NullPointerException was thrown while extracting a
value from the instance variable [amount] in the object [null].
Internal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Mapping:
org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.DirectToFieldMapping[amount -- >UNIT.AMOUNT]
Descriptor: RelationalDescriptor(com.test.Amount --> [DatabaseTable(UNIT)])

AMOUNT in UNIT table is mapped using Embedded object.

Here is underlying stacka trace

Google wasn't of much help. I found a post on OTN forum regarding the same
problem, and it looks like there was same problem on TopLink 10.3. As for
official explanations, I found only:

ECLIPSELINK-00069: A NullPointerException was thrown while extracting a
value from the instance variable [{0}] in the object [{1}].
Cause: An object is accessed to get the value of an instance variable
through Java reflection. This exception is raised only on some JVMs.
Action: Inspect the internal exception, and refer to the Java
documentation.
Not very helpful.

I could use some info on this, because it is quite critical.

Thanks,
Milos

The error is somehow related to your aggregate (embeddable) usage. What
exactly are you doing to get the error?

Are you sharing the same embeddable object from two different parent
objects? Is your embeddable null, or have inheritance?

If you can create a simplified test case, please log a bug.

It happens when I try to commit (I have bean managed transaction). Object is
read, then changed and updated.
