Re: [mdr-users] getExtent fails when repository is passed to another class

That's really weird. Aren't you using a static field for storing the 
extent name? If so, have you changed the value of the constant recently? 
If so, you probably did not rebuild your "new" class (the class where 
getExtent() does not work). That could be the problem, since values of 
static constants are compiled into the classfile of each class that uses 
that constant, so, your class may possibly be looking for an extent of a 
different name.
That is the only idea I have...
