result, a NullPointerException occurs in BPM.  It happens during
the CMIS to ECM data conversion.

Problem Summary:
When the ECM system does not return the numItems in the CMIS
query result, a NullPointerException occurs in BPM.
It happens during the CMIS to ECM data conversion.

Problem Conclusion:
If property numItems is not returned by the ECM system, the
mapping method sets property value to the size of the result
set.
