Role inherited entitlement not removed, after role update

[bjohnsonacn]

I've actually experienced some of the same thing, and I documented the step by step results; sorry for all the text.

First Test -
* Created role
* Assigned users to role
* Create resource
* Added entitlement to resource
* Add resource to role
* Users who were assigned role, were not granted resource (and thus not given the entitlement)

Here is the trace:
[11/19/2009 15:00:02.992] java.lang.NullPointerException
[11/19/2009 15:00:02.995] Role and Resource Service ST:

Second Test -
* Create role
* Create resource
* Added entitlement to resource
* Add resource to role
* Assigned users to role, and users were granted resource (and entitlement)
* Deleted role and users were not removed from resource (and maintained the entitlement)

Here is the trace that was immediately after the success messages of the users being removed from the role:
[11/19/2009 15:13:17.086] java.lang.NullPointerException

Third Test -
* Create role
* Created resource
* Added entitlement to resource
* Add resource to role
* Assigned users to role, and users were granted resource (and entitlement)
* Remove resource from role, and users are not revoked the entitlement

Here is the trace:
