NPE when adding a new feature type on a PostGIS table without a geometry field
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1295
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1295
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-beta2
Environment: MacOS
Reporter: Jean-Pierre Fiset
Assignee: Andrea Aime
When adding a new feature type against a PostGIS/PostgreSQL table that does not contain a geometry attribute, geoserver returns a Null Pointer Exception when applying the configuration change.
The steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new table on a PostgreSQL database loaded with PostGIS. This new table should not have a geometry column
2. Add database to data stores
3. Add a new feature type based on the created table. SRS: -1 BBOX: 0 0 0 0
4. Press submit
5. Press apply
6. Witness crash
Things are going wrong before the apply button, ccording to the logs. After pressing the new button, the logs report (note, table name is 'jp_comments'):

And finally, after the apply button:
17 Aug 13:35:05 WARN [action.RequestProcessor] - Unhandled Exception thrown: class java.lang.NullPointerException
A number of issues have been reported previously relating to types without geometries. However, all issues appear fixed for 1.6-beta2, so I am wondering why I am experiencing this problem.
