Description David Minsky CLA 2011-08-09 17:28:10 EDT 
When an Order Column is specified for a collection mapping, under certain circumstances a NullPointerException can occur when the mapping's valueFromPKList(Object[], AbstractSession) method is invoked.

This issue is occurring because the code in ContainerPolicy that initializes the list order field replaces an already initialized ContainerPolicy with a new
OrderedListContainerPolicy. This new policy is not initialized, and thus the
policy's elementDescriptor field is null, leading to a later NPE when valueFromPKList is called.
