Hi everyone,
I'm using Drools in a multithreaded environment where I need to create multiple
KnowledgeBuilders, which each contains a different rule. But if I want to add the rule to
the builder I'm getting the following exception:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception in thread "ECJ Evaluation Thread 3" java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm getting the same exception in each thread so I only copied thread 3.
The Code I'm using to initiate my Session is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
public synchronized StatefulKnowledgeSession getSession(byte[] array){
KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newByteArrayResource(array), ResourceType.DRL);
KnowledgeBuilderErrors errors = kbuilder.getErrors();
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
for (KnowledgeBuilderError knowledgeBuilderError : errors) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "error while parsing grammmars in
"+knowledgeBuilderError.getResource().toString()+":: "
+ knowledgeBuilderError.getMessage());
}
try {
throw new Exception();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
kbase.addKnowledgePackages(kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
return kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This method is called for each Rule I create one time. The rules are created
automatically and are syntactically correct, here is an example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import function de.fraunhofer.scai.bio.uima.droolutils.FactChecker.*;
import function de.fraunhofer.scai.bio.uima.droolutils.ODMAnswerManager.*;
global org.apache.uima.util.impl.JSR47Logger_impl log
global org.apache.uima.jcas.JCas aJCas
rule '2'
when
$0: CoreAnnotation(
label_0:getActivityProvenance().toString(),
getConcept().identifierSource.contains('de.cloud4health.odm.eprd.bodySide'))
$1: CoreAnnotation(
label_1:getActivityProvenance().toString(),
getConcept().identifierSource.contains('de.cloud4health.odm.eprd.anatomy'))
$2: NormalizedNamedEntity(
label_2:getConcept().getPrefLabel().value,
getConcept().identifierSource.contains('de.cloud4health.odm.eprd.anatomy'))
eval (hasSameInstance($0, $1, $2))
eval (areEqual($0, $1, $2))
then
int start = getStart($0,$1,$2);
int ende = getEnd($0,$1,$2);
String attribute = label_0+label_1+label_2;
log.log(Level.FINE, 'Inserted de.cloud4health.odm.eprd.itemGroup.anatomy');
insert(annotate(aJCas, 'de.cloud4health.odm.eprd.itemGroup.anatomy', attribute,
start, ende, null, null));
end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I appreciate any help. Thank you.
