A to-many relationship should never give you null in the first place. To-manys always return an empty array. There must something wrong with the flattened relationship. What is the name of the join Entity and it's relationships? Dave On Feb 14, 2013, at 8:18 AM, James Cicenia wrote: > > No

Well it turns out that after reviewing the model... We don't need a many-to-many relation. A user can only have one "service." So I changed the model and made the attribute and relation be "serviceLevel." So things work now. Though now I have that little irritating lingering question about if

No... it just throws the exception to the console which it shouldn't. even if I do a test of if(user.services == null) it still gives me this dump. I have never seen this behavior before. It is a flattened many to many. Thanks James On Feb 13, 2013, at 5:54 PM, Chuck Hill wrote: > Unresolv
