The whole is carried out in a single method. Any ideas what is wrong  ? Code with null pointer:                public Process getProcess() {                        if (this.process == null) { line 67 -->                this.process = kruntime.getKnowledgeBase().getProcess(processId);                        }                        return this.process;               } 11:03:22,889 ERROR
