Name and version of the database you are using:MySQL 1.2.3


I am using a modified version of the tutorial, where you input a state as well as the others. So I enter a event, then a second. However after adding the second the program errors with the mentioned stacktrace. Both event and adress are getting stored in the database correctly.
I can't seem to find what is wrong. But it only occurs when there is a many-to-one with Address.
