Re: [rules-users] Drools KB Object hierarchy Serilisation and Deserialisation thread safety issue

Hi, We have found that some of the drools classes are not thread safe and hence causing the whole KB serialisation and deserialisation issues in a highly concurrent distributed cluster. The below is an example of one of the instances we have come across where the usage of a non thread safe collection as instance variables has caused the issue. Could someone look into this and advise: 1) If this has been reported /identified and logged somewhere as an issue already 2)If there has been any fix to problems like this in later versions of * 5.3.0.Final ?.* 3)If not fixed already what is the process to initiate a fix.
