Re: [rules-users] Strange ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with decision tables

I don't know whether this applies here, but I quote a comment from Michael Kay (posted today on another list): "... the other problem is that in the XML output from Excel, empty cells are often omitted, their presence signalled only by the existence of an attribute on the next Cell element that indicates what column number it is in. This makes processing the XML quite challenging." If the XMLs from Excel and OpenOffice differ in that respect, then this could be a pointer for fixing the problem in Drools. Michael Kay also mentions the possibility of unifying the Cell elements so all have the column attribute using a simple XSLT transformation. (I guess I could provide that, if necessary.) -W On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 10:57 AM, murphy <christian.niehues(a)its-telco.de&gt; wrote:
