Events deserialization is broken -------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-749 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-749 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Mario Fusco Assignee: Mario Fusco Priority: Critical Fix For: 6.3.0.Beta1 When a KieSession is deserialized the events present in the old serialized session are reasserted into the new session. Then if one of this event causes a scheduler to be immediately triggered this is done in a callback out of the main evaluation loop. This implies that the left tuples resulting from the triggering of the scheduler aren't propagated to the sink of the TimerNode which created the scheduler itself. This missing propagation can, in some circumstances, cause a NullPointerException like the following: {code} java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.core.phreak.PhreakTimerNode.doLeftDeletes(PhreakTimerNode.java:197) at org.drools.core.phreak.PhreakTimerNode.doNode(PhreakTimerNode.java:63) at org.drools.core.phreak.RuleNetworkEvaluator.innerEval(RuleNetworkEvaluator.java:364) at org.drools.core.phreak.RuleNetworkEvaluator.outerEval(RuleNetworkEvaluator.java:163) at org.drools.core.phreak.RuleNetworkEvaluator.evaluateNetwork(RuleNetworkEvaluator.java:118) at org.drools.core.phreak.RuleExecutor.reEvaluateNetwork(RuleExecutor.java:254) at org.drools.core.phreak.RuleExecutor.evaluateNetworkAndFire(RuleExecutor.java:108) at org.drools.core.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(DefaultAgenda.java:1022) at org.drools.core.common.DefaultAgenda.fireAllRules(DefaultAgenda.java:1352) at org.drools.core.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.internalFireAllRules(StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.java:1318) at org.drools.core.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.fireAllRules(StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.java:1301) at org.drools.core.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.fireAllRules(StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.java:1280) {code}
