  Reproduction steps
  1) Create new topology project in Rational Software Architect.
  Name Infrastructure.
  2) Create Infrastructure concrete topology (x86 server +
  Win2008).  Publish to RAM (right-click topology, publish asset).
   Approve the Topology asset in RAM.
  3) Create new topology project. Name Middleware.
  4) Import Infrastructure Asset created in (2).  Add MQ
  Installation unit.  Add hosting relationship.  Save.
  5) Publish Middleware concrete topology to RAM (right-click
  topology, publish asset). Whenever view asset relationships from
  this dialog and select a topological asset, a null pointer
  exception occured.
