Re: [rules-users] New in Drools, java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.reteoo.AccumulateNode.getFirstMatch(AccumulateNode.java:967)

Manuel, I have reported this (or a very similar) problem https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2887 with a small example to reproduce. The stack trace is not identical, so please try to reproduce this with a small test case; it is bound to happen with a rule (Test Negativo Alarma Acceso Portal Ubicacion UM) that modifies some fact that is used in an "accumulate" phrase, (If this pattern is different from the one I gave, I'll raise the issue priority to "critical".)
