This sounds very similar to problem I had were we passed a listener into a
component that was mistakenly passed as 'in'. If you left it a few minutes
before clicking the button that invoked the listener, our listener would be
null. This was solved by (correctly) using auto.
Do you really need to use custom? Ive found that even for my most complex
apps, in and auto are the only two directions I have ever needed to use.

Nick,
I don't think I have caching disabled. I think, and I am trying to prove
it now, that what happens is that it has to do with assigning a bound value
and then somehow the bound value times out. I think that if I directly
access the custom property without assigning it to a local variable it will
be fine. I don't understand the timing issue though. Is there a Tapestry
timeout of 5-6 minutes in there? Could it be that the component was put
back in the pool and the variable was set to null? The solution I am trying
is to always access the value via:
private ArrayList<ConnectionItem> getConnections()
{
return
(ArrayList<ConnectionItem>)getConnectionsBinding().getObject("connections",
ArrayList.class);
}
Does this make sense to anyone?
thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark.
I've seen this behaviour when caching is disabled.
Is that the case for you? Even so, I've not looked
into why it happens - in production it works fine.
Cheers,
Nick.

DirectLinks. If I wait about 6 minutes and then click on a link I get a
null pointer exception. I have tracked the NPE to be because array list is
null. However, the component drew the list and the links that I am
clicking. So, where did my list go?
