[protege-discussion] getInstance returns null

[Tania Tudorache]

Hi Avi,

I don't know details about your slot widget, but I would recommend that 
you don't put too much logic in the initialize method. This method is 
called at initialization time and it should only build the UI elements 
and not fill their values. But rather, you should work with the 
getValues and setValues method, which should not have the problem that 
the instance is null.  You may also override the setInstance method with 
some care.
