"Object: null is not a known entity type" when refreshing JPAContainer
It seems the container cannot be refreshed twice after a remove?
To reproduce:
container.removeItem(id);
container.refresh();//this one works
container.refresh();//this one will throw exception
Exception is the following
SEVERE: Terminal error:
com.vaadin.event.ListenerMethod$MethodException
