I'm comparing both the example and my implementation, can't see anything different from each other except that example uses that CloudBalancingGenerator. Even the drl rule remains the same, i wrote it and then fixed the errors until reach that point.

The value of a variable of an entity starts out as null during construction heuristics, even if it's not nullable.

The usual trick is to add null safe getters:

public class BedDesignation {

   // bed is planning variable
  ...
  public Departement getDepartment() {
     if (bed == null) { return null;}
     return bed.getRoom().getDepartement()
  }
}

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

I know why it is happening though (at least i think so), but will I have to implement the comparator to every planner I do or is there any other way to make it work?

I'm reproducing the example from the guide, when it passes the drools rules it gives that message. I didn't implement CloudComputerStrengthComparator neither CloudProcessDifficultyComparator, will I have to implement those so this example works?
