Hi All,

I have a simple CEP test case which I am working through. I am currently getting a NullPointerException in the Consequence and have no idea why.

Rule:
rule "Param Update Event Rule"

when

            $pue : ParameterUpdateEvent(name == "testParam2", $param : param) from entry-point "ParamUpdateStream"

then

#System.out.println("Param '" + $pue.getName() + "' has been updated to " + $pue.getValue());

            System.out.println("HERE!!! " + $param + " " + $param.name());

End

Exception & Debug:

Could it be that my Event object is getting destroyed before the consequence is run, is that what “OBJECT RETRACKED” means in this case?

Thanks
