I have a servlet-based web app and need to delete an instance of a bean. So i call
bean_home.remove(primary_key).
If I create a bean instance using create within the web app, calling bean_home.remove(primary_key) works fine. If however I use an external client to create the bean instances, it fails with
java.lang.NullPointerException

I can do a findByPrimaryKey on the bean instances created by the external client, and can view them, yet get this error when I try to remove them.
I'm clearly missing something
TIA
