Look at the line 58 of RulesTest class and you will find the problem. Try to always analyse the stacktrace if there are no drools classes involved, then it is not a Drools error. And remember, the debugger is your friend ;)

Best,

This has nothing to do with Drools. It looks like you are giving Writer bad input perhaps??

Hi,

 

I am trying out this example from the book :

public class Room {
    private String name
    // getter and setter methods here
}
public classs Sprinkler {
    private Room room;
    private boolean on;
    // getter and setter methods here
}
public class Fire {
    private Room room;
    // getter and setter methods here
}

 

I load 2 input files: 1. with data of fire and Room { f1, r1;f2, r2}

                           2. with data of sprinkler and Room { “ “, r1; “ “ , r2}

 

I am writing rule “ if fire exists in room start sprinkler” { so if f1 and r1 in this case: I should get s1, r1 }

when

    Fire($room : room)

    $sprinkler : Sprinkler( room == $room, modified == false )

Then

    $sprinkler.setmodified(true);    

    modify( $sprinkler ) { setSprinkle( “s1” ) };

end

 

But this gives me error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

      at java.io.Writer.write(Unknown Source)

      at com.org.RulesTest.main(RulesTest.java:58)

 

From what I observed this rule is not getting fired at all.

I want this rule to be fired on the data in my second input file.

The rules for my first input file get executed properly.

 

Can any1 tell me where I am going wrong??

Is there any way in which we can use the modified data { after rules are fired on the first input data and it is  modified}to fire another set of rules on the same input depending on the next input file???

 

Thank you.
