It is a bug since a more friendly message should be raised at compile time stating that your "contact" declaration is not available in one of your logical branches.
Having said that, what you want to do is make your OR take priority over the implicit AND and as such, you need to add () around the OR:
When
contact:Contact (initialized==true)
exr: ( Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName=="Old")
or Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName==null) )
Then
contact.getStatus().setStatus(true);
contact.getStatus().addToReasonTrace(drools.getRule().getName());
end
Having said that, better yet for you would not to use the OR CE, but to use restriction connectives. This would be the most efficient (and clean) way of writing your rule:
When
contact:Contact (initialized==true)
exr: Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName =="Old" || == null )
Then
contact.getStatus().setStatus(true);
contact.getStatus().addToReasonTrace(drools.getRule().getName());
end
As a syntax sugar, you could also write:
exr: Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName in ( "Old", null ) )
Can you please open a JIRA with your test case for the bug?
Thank you,

>:When I define a rule:
When
cntct:Contact (initialized==true)
exr:Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName=="Old")
Then
contact.getStatus().setStatus(true);
contact.getStatus().addToReasonTrace(drools.getRule().getName());
end
..The bove works.
BUT, when I do the following:
When
cntct:Contact (initialized==true)
exr:Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName=="Old")
|| Relation( contact==cntct,
active:active==$1,
relationName==null)
Then
contact.getStatus().setStatus(true);
contact.getStatus().addToReasonTrace(drools.getRule().getName());
end
... The script compiles anda stateless Session is created successfully, but at
runtime/execution it fails with the exception:

Please advise! is this a bug?
