Hi,
I'm using JPA (with Hibernate) and Gilead in a GWT project. On the server side I have this method and I'm calling this method twice with the same "campaign". On the second call it throws a null pointer exception in line 4 "campaign.getTextAds()"
public List<WrapperTextAd> getTextAds(WrapperCampaign campaign) {
  campaign = em.merge(campaign);
  System.out.println("getting textads for "+campaign.getName());
  for(WrapperTextAd textad: campaign.getTextAds()) {
      //do nothing
  }
  return new ArrayList<WrapperTextAd>(campaign.getTextAds());
}
The code in WrapperCampaign Entity looks like this
@OneToMany(mappedBy="campaign")
  public Set<WrapperTextAd> getTextAds() {
    return this.textads;
}
