NullPointerException on conditions using contains evaluator when collection is null ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-984 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-984 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 4.0.0.MR3 Reporter: Emily Harsh Assigned To: Mark Proctor Rule condition is as follows: myItem : MyItem( ) MyObject( myCollection contains myItem ) A NullPointerException is thrown when myCollection is null. Proposed solution: All evaluate* methods in org.drools.base.evaluators.ObjectFactory$ObjectContainsEvaluator need to have null checks surrounding the col.contains( value ) statements. For example, evaluateCachedLeft should be changed to: public boolean evaluateCachedLeft(final VariableContextEntry context, final Object right) { final Object value = ((ObjectVariableContextEntry) context).left; final Collection col = (Collection) context.extractor.getValue( right ); return col == null ? false : col.contains( value ); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
