&nbsp;&nbsp; Can you please isolate and show us the rule that is creating the
problem? It is happening either in a eval() statement or in a nested

      <br>
This is in relation to drools 4.0.4<br>
      <br>
I have an interesting problem. I am getting a null pointer exception
when I am inserting a fact into a StatefulSession object. What is odd
about this NPE is that, as far as I can tell (and I have inserted a
breakpoint right before I insert the fact) that all the properties in
the object are initialized, and there are no rules accessing any thing
that could be null.<br>
      <br>
So here's my exception trace (just first few lines to get context):<br>
      <br>
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
