Cannot read fields from a deleted object

The above error was causing me some grief, I did delete the object but for some reason a populate query was picking it up from the datastore.

I was able to check if the object was deleted with the following JDOHelper function: JDOHelper.isDeleted(item)

I used it as follows:

import javax.jdo.JDOHelper;

import javax.jdo.ObjectState;

public List getWatchList() {

List watchList = new ArrayList();

List result = ccs.myasxpager.datasource.WatchList.getWatchList();

for (ccs.myasxpager.persistence.schema.WatchList item : result) {

if (JDOHelper.isDeleted(item))

continue;

String[] watchListItem = {item.getAsxCode(), ccs.myasxpager.datasource.Company.getCompanyNameByCode(item.getAsxCode()), ccs.myasxpager.datasource.Company.getIndustryByCode(item.getAsxCode())};

watchList.add(watchListItem);

}

return watchList;

}
