Thank you so very much. Yes, changing the parse to handle this would be very helpful.

   Michael,

   The problem is you missed the "" on:

    $result.addPassedRule(leaders in same location);

    I will fix the parser code to not throw NPE for this anymore.

    Thanks,

Sure. Thanks

   Michael,

   Can you show us your rule(s) please? it is raising the NPE when trying to get the list of variables you use in the consequence... as soon as we determine what the real problem is, I can fix the error message...

2007/10/30, Michael Fuller <mfuller@ihets.org>:

I have the following code: (note String[] ruleFiles contains only one string)

public class Engine {

    private static RuleBase ruleBase;

    public void start(String[] ruleFiles) throws Exception {

        PackageBuilderConfiguration cfg = new PackageBuilderConfiguration();

        JavaDialectConfiguration javaConf = (JavaDialectConfiguration) cfg.getDialectConfiguration("java");

        javaConf.setCompiler(JavaDialectConfiguration.ECLIPSE);

        PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder(cfg);

        for (String file : ruleFiles) {

            builder.addPackageFromDrl(new InputStreamReader(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(file)));

        }

        Package pkg = builder.getPackage();

        PackageBuilderErrors errors = builder.getErrors();

        if (errors.getErrors().length != 0) {

            // do something

        }

        RuleBaseConfiguration conf = new RuleBaseConfiguration();

        conf.setAssertBehaviour(RuleBaseConfiguration.AssertBehaviour.EQUALITY);

        ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();

        ruleBase.addPackage(pkg);

        ruleBase.newStatefulSession(false);

    }

}

At the builder.addPackageFromDrl(new InputStreamReader(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(file))); line I'm getting the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I am using Drools 4.0.3

I have the following jars in my class path:

antlr-runtime-3.0.jar

core-3.2.3.v_686_R32x.jar

drools-compiler-4.0.3.jar

drools-core-4.0.3.jar

mvel14-1.2.10.jar

Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
