That error usually happens when you change the assets of the session before loading the persisted session again.
Make sure that you don't change any knowledge resource before loading the session again.

Any Ideas?

    Shannon,

    What is the following method doing?

engine.process(reading);

    Can you please open a JIRA and attach your test case or point me to the jira reporting this problem if it exists already?

    Thanks,

I am using drools 5.2.0.M2 and I still get this error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.drools.marshalling.impl.InputMarshaller.readLeftTuple(InputMarshaller.java:469)

Which was reported on drools 5.1.0 JIRA and claimed to be fixed.  I see the error when trying to load a session that was persisted that had objects inserted that  are time depended and cause rules to fire that use terms from flow such as "after".  I only see this error if create a new session, submit some facts to it, close it, and then try to reload.  If i do not submit any facts to it I do not get the error.  I.E.  If all i do is create the KB with my rules I can reload a session from the DB no problem, but if i submit some facts and persist the session, then i cannot reload it.  This seems to be an issue with the JPA loading of the session that has facts in it that use Flow (JBPM).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Below are my simple rules followed by the test code used to submit the facts:

package com.inventrio.rules.readings
 
import com.inventrio.healthmonitoring.model.*;

declare Reading
    @role(event)
    @timestamp(readingTime)
end

rule "High Blood Pressure"
when
$eventA :  Reading(readingType.name == "BPMETER")
$systolic : Value( this.valueType.name == "SYSTOLIC"  ) from $eventA.values
$diastolic : Value( this.valueType.name == "DIASTOLIC"  ) from $eventA.values
eval( $systolic.getLongValue() > 180 && $diastolic.getLongValue() > 120 )
then
System.out.println("HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE" );  
end

rule "Weight Trending Up"
when
$eventC :  Reading(readingType.name == "WEIGHT" )
$eventB  : Reading( readingType.name == "WEIGHT" , this after[5s, 1m] $eventC )
$eventA  : Reading( readingType.name == "WEIGHT" , this after[5s, 1m] $eventB )
$weight3 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventC.values
$weight2 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventB.values
$weight1 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventA.values
eval(  $weight3.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() < $weight2.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() + 1.0  && $weight2.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() < $weight1.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() + 1.0 )
then
System.out.println("WEIGHT IS GOING UP" ); 
end

rule "Weight Trending Down"
when
$eventC :  Reading(readingType.name == "WEIGHT" )
$eventB  : Reading( readingType.name == "WEIGHT" , this after[5s, 1m] $eventC )
$eventA  : Reading( readingType.name == "WEIGHT" , this after[5s, 1m] $eventB )
$weight3 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventC.values
$weight2 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventB.values
$weight1 : Value( this.valueType.name == "WEIGHT"  ) from $eventA.values
eval(  $weight3.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() > $weight2.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() + 1.0  && $weight2.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() > $weight1.getDoubleValue().doubleValue() + 1.0 )
then
System.out.println("WEIGHT IS GOING DOWN" ); 
end



And next is my object i insert before closeing and then trying to reload the session.

public void testWeightRules() {
try {

Reading reading = new Reading();
reading.setReadingTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
ReadingType type = new ReadingType();
type.setName("WEIGHT");
type.setDescription("");
reading.setReadingType(type);
Value value = new Value();
value.setDoubleValue(140.0);
ValueType valueType = new ValueType();
valueType.setName("WEIGHT");
valueType.setDataType(ValueDataType.DOUBLE);
value.setValueType(valueType);
reading.getValues().add(value);
reading.setReadingType(type);
engine.process(reading);

Thread.sleep(7000);

reading = new Reading();
reading.setReadingTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
type = new ReadingType();
type.setName("WEIGHT");
type.setDescription("");
reading.setReadingType(type);
value = new Value();
value.setDoubleValue(142.0);
valueType = new ValueType();
valueType.setName("WEIGHT");
valueType.setDataType(ValueDataType.DOUBLE);
value.setValueType(valueType);
reading.getValues().add(value);
reading.setReadingType(type);
engine.process(reading);

Thread.sleep(7000);

reading = new Reading();
reading.setReadingTime(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
type = new ReadingType();
type.setName("WEIGHT");
type.setDescription("");
reading.setReadingType(type);
value = new Value();
value.setDoubleValue(144.0);
valueType = new ValueType();
valueType.setName("WEIGHT");
valueType.setDataType(ValueDataType.DOUBLE);
value.setValueType(valueType);
reading.getValues().add(value);
reading.setReadingType(type);
engine.process(reading);

} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
