I'm using datanucleus 3.2.7 from Maven, trying to use the Amazon S3 JPA provider. I can successfully write data into S3, but querying either by using "SELECT u FROM User u" or "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE id = :id" causes a NullPointerException to be thrown.

Using the RDBMS provider, everything works perfectly. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Main.java

    EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("MyUnit");
    EntityManager entityManager = factory.createEntityManager();
    Query query = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u", User.class);
    List<User> users = query.getResultList(); // Null pointer exception here
    for(User u:users)
        System.out.println(u);

User.java

package test;
import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table(name = "User")
public class User {
    @Id
    public String id;
    public String name;

    public User(String id, String name) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return id+" : "+name;
    }
}
