Krushnan,

    Isn't there a "cause by" down the stack trace? Current code for raising the exception is:

        try {
            return this.expression.evaluate( object,
                                             null,
                                             this.previousDeclarations,
                                             this.localDeclarations,
                                             workingMemory );
        } catch ( final Exception e ) {
            throw new RuntimeDroolsException( "Exception executing predicate " + this.expression,
                                              e );
        }

    All we can say for sure from the exception stack trace snippet you provided is that it was raised in a rule named "Rule Cisco Systems", in the first return value predicate.
    We need to improve that a bit I think.

Hi all,

When exceptions occur during runtime of drools, is there a list of things to see to understand what may be causing
this to happen ? I know it is a very generic question. I want to see if there is a methodical way to understand what
to look for ?.

Any help is appreciated ?

thanks,
