I'll try to create a self contained test. It may be a difficult task. The error seems to come and go depending on which other rules I leave in my rule set. In particular, there is another rule that has many conditions and only logs a message as the consequence that when it is included in the rule set, this error occurs. That particular rule has nothing to do with the type of object being retracted.

Subject: Re: [rules-users] NPE on retract
My misunderstanding was that Drools used object identity with an IdentifyHashMap unless it was configured to use a regular HashMap. Is this not the case?
Concerning not having equals/hashcode changing while the object is asserted into working memory, is it ok for them to change as long as it is followed by a "modify("? Is there different behavior between calling "modify" and calling "retract and re-assert"?
Thanks for you help,

Can you provide a self contained test that shows the problem and open a JIRA with it?
I will take a look in it.
There is no requirement to define equals/hashcode, but if you do so, you need to make them time consistent, i.e., they cannot change during the time the object is asserted into the working memory or you may have problems (as hashcode and equals behaviors are defined as kind of "identity" of the object).

2007/4/24, Chris West <crayzfishr@gmail.com>:Mark,
The object being retracted currently has no hashcode and equals, therefore defaulting to the ones on Object. The reason I'm even retracting the object is so that I can assert it again to work around bug http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-614. Therefore the reason I am retracting the object is because it has changed.
Is there a requirement to implement hashcode and equals? If so, does it have to be based on all fields of the pojo? My intent was to implement hashcode and equals, but only base them on the id fields of the class.
