[rules-users] NPE exception in MarshallerReaderContext

[NKeating at decaresystems.ie]

Hi,

I'm getting a NPE exception when using drools-persistence-jpa with Drools Flow
(I'm working with the trunk version 28274).  It occurs in
MarshallerReaderContext (line 78, see link below) and seems to be a result of
JBRULES-2149.  When loading a WorkItemInfo from the database a
MarshallerReaderContext is created without the ruleBase set.  For the moment I
have added another catch block for the NPE and call super.resolveClass(desc).
This seems to be working correctly and would have been the behaviour before
JBRULES-2149.

Should I go ahead and create a JIRA issue for this, or what is the prefered way
to get the fixed in the trunk?
