Hi, While doing a load test with jmeter,my web service application with drools works fine for few clients(5 simultaneous hits for 10 times) but when i increase my clients(120 simultanious hits for 100 times) i am gettin the following exception for few client, (out of 12,000 hits 200 throws this exception) problem encountered at node [11] 5{170,189}: unable to resolve property: null pointer exception in property: declr.identifier org.mvel.TemplateInterpreter.execute(TemplateInterpreter.java:528) org.mvel.TemplateInterpreter.parse(TemplateInterpreter.java:341) org.drools.rule.builder.dialect.java.AbstractJavaBuilder.generatTemplates(AbstractJavaBuilder.java:113) org.drools.rule.builder.dialect.java.JavaConsequenceBuilder.build(JavaConsequenceBuilder.java:95) org.drools.rule.builder.RuleBuilder.build(RuleBuilder.java:67) org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addRule(PackageBuilder.java:446) org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackage(PackageBuilder.java:304) org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl(PackageBuilder.java:167) com.drools.util.RuleEngine.applyRule(RuleEngine.java:47) com.drools.util.DroolsController.getAdvertisement(DroolsController.java:94) com.drools.util.DroolsController.routeBusinessMethod(DroolsController.java:67) com.drools.util.DroolsController.getAdvertisement(DroolsController.java:43) com.drools.MyEndpoint.getAdvertisement(MyEndpoint.java:237) com.drools.MyEndpoint.process(MyEndpoint.java:144) org.apache.servicemix.common.AsyncBaseLifeCycle.doProcess(AsyncBaseLifeCycle.java:489) org.apache.servicemix.common.AsyncBaseLifeCycle.processExchange(AsyncBaseLifeCycle.java:441) org.apache.servicemix.common.BaseLifeCycle.onMessageExchange(BaseLifeCycle.java:46) org.apache.servicemix.jbi.messaging.DeliveryChannelImpl.processInBound(DeliveryChannelImpl.java:595) org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.AbstractFlow.doRouting(AbstractFlow.java:174) org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.seda.SedaFlow.doRouting(SedaFlow.java:176) org.apache.servicemix.jbi.nmr.flow.seda.SedaQueue$1.run(SedaQueue.java:134) edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:665) edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:690) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) drl file has 6 rules, 5 rules - which retract facts which passes the rule. 1 rule(low salience) - will add the fact to java.util.List (set as global) which passes the rule. 1 .

I ran into the same issue running JMeter recently. I am getting the same stack trace. I checked my version and I am using 4.0.7 of Drools. Was this resolved by going to 4.0.7 for you? Is there anything else to check? Todd You must update to 4.0.7. You are probably facing the issues we had in 4.0.3.
