<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">I am attempting to resolve it myself, but in order to do so I need to go into the MVEL code, but the mvel jar that is included as part of the drools classpath container (within eclipse) is just mvel14.jar. So I'm
not sure where the source is or what version of MVEL source I should be attaching. I realize that the source-location thing is just an Eclipse issue, but I thought I'd let you know right away that it looks like it's still there.</font></div>

Jason,<br>
<br>
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 property access.<br>

Hi,<br>
<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" org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: java.lang.NullPointerException<br>

<br>
<br>
(that setTemplate method is not a drools template)<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
