[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-5227) Investigate performance degradation of fact type API usage in drools 7

Investigate performance degradation of fact type API usage in drools 7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-5227 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DROOLS-5227 Project: Drools Issue Type: Task Reporter: Mario Fusco Assignee: Mario Fusco Priority: Major In Drools 7 a big amount of time is spent to manage a NoSuchFieldExceptions in Class.getDeclaredField. This happens when client code tries to get/set a value of a non-existent field of a Fact Type: while in Drools 6 it immediately returns a null, in Drools 7 causes the execution of a recursive routine introspecting the class itself. Very likely this change behaviour has been introduced by this commit https://github.com/kiegroup/drools/commit/435f7ead86e20b361e25abd60f1b228...
