I have following problem with null valuated string properties ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-854 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-854 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Reteoo Affects Versions: 4.0.0.MR2 Environment: Windows XP SP2 Reporter: Vesa Tuononen Assigned To: Edson Tirelli Priority: Blocker I have very simple object with PropertyChangeSupport.
