I can't seem to figure out how to tell AutoBeanFactory to encode/
decode lists of objects. I have a simple bean object with string-
valued properties, and another bean object which has a list of the
first object. When I try to encode, I get a NullPointerException from
the AutoBeanCodex implementation. From the documentation in the wiki
(http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/AutoBean) it appears
that this is supposed to work, but what am I doing wrong?

Here is my test case:

public class BeanTest extends GWTTestCase {

        interface MyFactory extends AutoBeanFactory {
                AutoBean<Thing> thing ();
                AutoBean<Bunch> bunch ();
        }
        interface Thing {  // simple bean with one string-valued property
                String getName ();
        }
        interface Bunch { // Simple bean with one List<Thing> valued property
                List<Thing> getThings ();
        }
        public void testThing () {
                Thing t1 = new Thing() { public String getName() { return
"one"; } };
                Thing t2 = new Thing () { public String getName () { return
"two"; } };

                MyFactory fact = GWT.create(MyFactory.class);
                AutoBean<Thing> encodeBean = fact.create (Thing.class, t1);
                String json = AutoBeanCodex.encode(encodeBean).getPayload();
                System.out.println ("payload: " + json);

                final Thing [] pair = { t1, t2 };
                Bunch b = new Bunch() { public List<Thing> getThings() { return
Arrays.asList(pair); } };
                AutoBean<Bunch> bunchBean = fact.create (Bunch.class, b);

                // The following throws NullPointerException :(
                json = AutoBeanCodex.encode(bunchBean).getPayload();
                System.out.println ("payload: " + json);
        }
}
