------- Comment #2 from berkley at nceas.ucsb.edu  2006-05-10 08:07 -------
The reason for this appears to be that the "create composite" menu item was
used to create the "Calculate Best Rulesets" composite and thus is does not
have an entityId attribute (or any of the other kepler required attributes).  

I was not able to reproduce this with an RExpression actor.  I created a new
workflow, drug an RExpression actor to the canvas, modified the RExpression
actor, saved the workflow, closed the workflow, reopened the workflow, then ran
"add to library" and it worked fine.  The only reason you should get an NPE is
if one of the kepler required properties do not exist in the actor.  The error
handling could probably be a bit better.

I'll leave this bug open for now.  If you find another way to reproduce it, add
the sequence here and I'll take a look.
