NullPointerExceptions when using multiple concurrent KieSessions ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-1135 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1135 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Components: core engine Reporter: Mario Fusco Assignee: Mario Fusco Priority: Critical Fix For: 7.0.0.Beta1 A number of worker threads is running simultaneously in a thread pool. Each thread is initialised with the same KieContainer from which they extract a KieBase using KieContainer.getKieBase("name"). Each worker thread obtains a KieSession from its KieBase, and then executes a simple loop, taking instructions from a queue, inserting and removing facts based on those instructions, and then firing all rules: {code} kieSession = kieBase.newKieSession(); try { while (true) { work = getItemsFromQueue(); addAndRemoveFacts(kieSession, work); kieSession.fireAllRules(); } } finally { kieSession.dispose(); } {code} This causes the following exceptions: {code} Exception in thread "Worker-1" java.lang.NullPointerException at
