Hi,

The following problem encountered:

I have a rule defintion :

----------------------------------------------dpd.drl

package ruletest;

import ruletest.IndividualNok;

rule Female_NOK_sex_401
   //when (IndividualNok(nokRelationship==401) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==402))
   when (IndividualNok(nokRelationship==401) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==402) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==403))
   then
       System.out.println("abc");
   end

------------------------------------------------

When I tried the commented out LSH, it works, however, when i add one more expression to it , it fails with the following exceptions:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.drools.base.extractors.BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.getLongValue(BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.java:103)
        at org.drools.base.ClassFieldExtractor.getLongValue(ClassFieldExtractor.java:144)
        at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter$HashKey.setValue(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:467)
        at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.propagateAssertObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:292)
        at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode.assertObject(ObjectTypeNode.java:183)
        at org.drools.reteoo.Rete.assertObject(Rete.java:121)
        at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.assertObject(ReteooRuleBase.java:201)
        at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooWorkingMemory.doAssertObject(ReteooWorkingMemory.java:70)
        at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.assertObject(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:724)
        at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.assertObject(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:548)

Any idea about this? is it a bug

When I tried to create an additional rule with the 2 expression, it still fails. This error can be reproduced with the followng code:

-------------------------the Main Class's main method

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
               final PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
        try {
            builder.addPackageFromDrl( new InputStreamReader( Main.class.getResourceAsStream( "dpd.drl" ) ) );
        } catch (DroolsParserException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
       
        final RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
        try {
            ruleBase.addPackage( builder.getPackage() );
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        final StatefulSession session = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
        IndividualNok individualNok = new IndividualNok();
        session.assertObject(individualNok);
        session.fireAllRules();
        session.dispose();
    }
