FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If you:
-> have a CachedRowSet on table with an auto-increment primary key in a mySQL database.
-> you are inserting a new row
-> you are calling acceptChanges
you will get an NPE.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1/ in your mySQL database creates a database "ilog_demos"
2/ in your mySQL "test" database creates a table "activities"
3/ modify the attached .java to use your login/passwd to mysql and change "server" by your mySQL server.
4/ run the sample
you'll get a NPE because the code is calling toString() on the value of the primary key. However the primary key column is in auto increment mode, and thus until the row has been commited to the database its value is NULL. => NULL.toString() = NPE.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
no NPE, the row is added.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
