[rules-users] Resuming Flow: NPE when completing a work item

[nanic23]

Hi Mauricio,

Thank you very much for you comments. I am mapping a single variable type
Long.

Could you please look at posts above as I think they might have a good
point. There it seems that the getWorkItem method is creating a
MarshallerReaderContext with a "null" value for the ruleBase argument:

public WorkItem getWorkItem() {
        if ( workItem == null ) {
            try {
                ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(
workItemByteArray );
                MarshallerReaderContext context = new
MarshallerReaderContext( bais,

                                                                              
null,  // THIS IS a RULEBASE <<<<<<<<<<<<<

                                                                              
null,
                                                                              
null );
                workItem = InputMarshaller.readWorkItem( context ); 


This in turn ends up creating a NPE when the "null" ruleBase is used.

 protected Class< ? > resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc) throws
IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        String name = desc.getName();
        try {

            return Class.forName(name, false,
this.ruleBase.getRootClassLoader()); // HERE IS WHERE THE NULL POINTER
EXCEPTION OCCURS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< since the RuleBase is NULL

        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            return super.resolveClass( desc );
        }        
    } 

This is explained in more detail in the posts above. Do you think this could
be the issue? Am I following (and understanding) Drools src code correctly?

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Nick.
