[OFBiz] Dev - Using view-entity in a form

I created a view-entity (Employee) that queries the Person table.  I then
created a form "Edit Employee" see below.  The form works when I want to
create anew employee, but when I pass the personId, I get:

org.ofbiz.base.util.GeneralException: Error rendering screen [EditEmployee]:
java.lang.NullPointerException (null)

I know I must be missing something very basic.  Can someone help?

Thanks,

-Mike
