Re: [rules-users] Combined OR/NOT Rules results in NullPointerException
If you mean
when
( $value1: Value(...)
not Input(...)
or
$value2: Value(...)
not Input(...) )
$solution: SolutionInput(...)
then
...
you'll have to use parentheses. If not, what *do* you mean?

Hello,
i've already mailed last week with the same problem and with your help I was
able to locate the source of the following NullPointerException which
happens if we try to insert the Fact "knocking" (@see Source Code of the
Java Class here: http://www.pastie.org/private/juv7hh7rxahpluo5agu3q) :

The source of the problem is the following rule:
*rule "R50"
when
$value1 : Value(value == "knocking")
not Input(name == "Engine noises" && values contains $value1)
or
$value2 : Value(value == "ringing")
not Input(name == "Engine noises" && values contains $value2)
$solution : SolutionInput(name == "Bad ignition timing")
then
$solution.setValue(N3);
end
*
Could you please tell me how I have to formulate the rule to avoid the
NullPointerException while inserting the fact?
Thank you in advance for your help.
