[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-1644) Make drools imply null checks before trying to read a value

Make drools imply null checks before trying to read a value ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1644 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1644 Project: JBoss Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Drl Parser/Builder Affects Versions: 4.0.6 Environment: all Reporter: Alex McCarrier Assigned To: Mark Proctor Priority: Minor Fix For: FUTURE Original Estimate: 0 minutes Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes Not sure if this is MVEL or drools itself, but it would be nice if it would do null checks on fields for you rather than having the rule author do it. Example, when doing something like: when Object(value1.value2 == something) before attempting to read value2 it makes sure value1 is not null, and if value1 is null than rather than throwing an error like it does currently, just consider the rule as not matching.
