<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I'm
trying to execute the result of the Process API and running into<br>
problems most likely stemming from my ignorance. I'm creating a new<br>
process following the sample code from section 3.1.3.2 of the User<br>
Guide. My sample process consists of:<br>
1. StartNode<br>
2. ActionNode that prints Hello World<br>
3. EndNode<br>
<br>
What I don't understand is how to get my new process into a<br>
KnowledgeBase and KnowledgeSession for execution. I've tried the<br>
following (Drools 4 method, I believe) as well:<br>
<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;AbstractRuleBase ruleBase = (AbstractRuleBase)<br>
RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ruleBase.addProcess(createProcess());<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;InternalWorkingMemory workingMemory = new
ReteooWorkingMemory(1,<br>
ruleBase);<br>
<br>
workingMemory.startProcess(&quot;org.drools.sample.workflow.dynamic&quot;);<br>
<br>
The result of the previous code is a RuntimeException (unable to execute<br>
Action). Inner exception is null pointer from inside the<br>
ActionNodeInstance class. Where am going wrong in implementing the<br>
Process API?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
