i was just wondering if this behavior is consistent... say i have two rules like these:

rule "Equals"

when

MyFact ( integerAttribute == 10 )

then

.....

end

rule "Greater Than"

when
MyFact ( integerAttribute > 10 )

then

.....

end

now, if MyFact returns null for integerAttribute the second rule results in NullPointerException while asserting the fact.. but the first rule does not. i am not able to reason out if this is expected functionality... :(

please help..

thanks in advance
