[rules-users] Can drools work in multithreaded environment?

[Barath]

Hi,

While doing a load test with jmeter,my web service application with drools
works fine for few clients(5 simultaneous hits for 10 times) 
but when i increase my clients(120 simultanious hits for 100 times) i am
gettin the following exception for 
few client, (out of 12,000 hits 200 throws this exception)

problem encountered at node [11] 5{170,189}: unable to resolve property:
null pointer exception in property: declr.identifier

drl file has 6 rules,
5 rules                   - which retract facts which passes the rule.
1 rule(low salience)  - will add the fact to java.util.List (set as global)
which passes the rule.

1 . Am i getting this error bcoz of the global list? or any other reason?
2 . How to solve this problem?

here the rules,

<code>
global java.util.List feasibleAdv;

rule " percentage rule "   
    when
        $adv : Advertisement( percentageLimit != 0 , percentageLimit <
playedPercentage )             		
    then
    	System.out.println("remove this adv (failed percentage):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());               
       	retract($adv);
end

rule "per day rule"
    when
        $adv : Advertisement( limitperday != 0 , limitperday <= playedperday
)        
    then                
        //System.out.println("remove this adv (failed day):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
        retract($adv);        
end

rule "per week rule"
    when
        $adv : Advertisement( limitperweek != 0 , limitperweek <=
playedperweek)        
    then        
        //System.out.println("remove this adv (failed week):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
        retract($adv);                   
end

rule "per month rule"
    when
        $adv : Advertisement( limitpermonth != 0 , limitpermonth <=
playedpermonth)        
    then                
        //System.out.println("remove this adv (failed month) :
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
        retract($adv);                   
end

rule "total played rule"
    when
        $adv : Advertisement( totallimit != 0 , totallimit <= totalplayed )        
    then                
        //System.out.println("remove this adv (failed total played) :
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
        retract($adv);                   
end


rule "advertisement select rule"
salience -1
	when		
		$adv : Advertisement( $playedPercentPerAdvertisement :
playedPercentPerAdvertisement)		
		not( Advertisement( playedPercentPerAdvertisement <
$playedPercentPerAdvertisement ) )
		$advertisementCount : Integer()						
	then		
		boolean status = true;		
		if($advertisementCount-1 < 0){
			//System.out.println("halted");
			status = false;
			drools.halt();		
		}		
		if(status){			
			feasibleAdv.add($adv);		
			drools.update(
drools.getWorkingMemory().getFactHandle($advertisementCount), new
Integer($advertisementCount-1) );
			retract($adv);
		}		
end
