Hi Marina,

They are tests that I have written to test the specialized provider. Unfortunately
I can't send any code. The exceptions that I am seeing tell me that it is trying
to use the Toplink provider, but it fails to do so with a NullPointerException.

Note I am using the NetBeans 5.5 provided TopLink JAR files.

Kind regards,
Manfred Riem
