Primefaces google map - null pointer exception after dragging marker

I am using primefaces (JSF) to intergrate google maps in my web application.

However, after following the tutorial on http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/gmapDraggableMarkers.jsf I am encountering a Null Pointer Exception from the primefaces renderer as follows

20:48:45,741 INFO  [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.context] java.lang.NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException

Do you have any indication where this is coming from? What I noticed is that the markerDragListener is not being called and the exception happens before it is called.

The following is the code I am using for rendering the map, etc. :

<p:gmap id="gmap" center="41.381542, 2.122893" zoom="10" type="HYBRID" style="width:380px;height:350px"
                            model="#{attractionsBean.mapModel}"
                            markerDragListener="#{attractionsBean.onMarkerDrag}"/>

and 

public void onMarkerDrag(MarkerDragEvent event) {  
    Marker marker = event.getMarker();  

    if (mapModel.getMarkers().size() > 0) {
        mapModel.getMarkers().get(0).setLatlng(marker.getLatlng());
        System.out.println("Updated marker location: " + "Lat:" + marker.getLatlng().getLat() + ", Lng:" + marker.getLatlng().getLng());
    }
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Marker Dragged", "Lat:" + marker.getLatlng().getLat() + ", Lng:" + marker.getLatlng().getLng()));  
}

Thanks in advance!!

    else if(params.containsKey(clientId + "_markerDragged")) {
        String id = params.get(clientId + "_markerId");
        Marker marker = (Marker) model.findOverlay(id);
        double lat = Double.valueOf(params.get(clientId + "_lat"));
        double lng = Double.valueOf(params.get(clientId + "_lng"));
        marker.setLatlng(new LatLng(lat, lng));

        map.queueEvent(new MarkerDragEvent(map, marker));

    }

The marker object is null, this happened to me because I was overriding the restoreState method of the component and changing the state
