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 ?. org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: Exception executing predicate com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.vendorBehaviour.snmp.Rule_Cisco_Systems_0ReturnValue0Invoker@39d31fda INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.rule.PredicateConstraint.isAllowed(PredicateConstraint.java :197) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.assertObject(AlphaNode.java:122) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.propagateAssertObject( CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:317) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.assertObject(AlphaNode.java:130) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.SingleObjectSinkAdapter.propagateAssertObject( SingleObjectSinkAdapter.java:20) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode.assertObject(ObjectTypeNode.java:168) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.Rete.assertObject(Rete.java:168) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.assertObject(ReteooRuleBase.java:190) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooWorkingMemory.doInsert (ReteooWorkingMemory.java :70) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert(AbstractWorkingMemory.java :848) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert (AbstractWorkingMemory.java :822) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.base.DefaultKnowledgeHelper.insert(DefaultKnowledgeHelper.java :60) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.base.DefaultKnowledgeHelper.insert (DefaultKnowledgeHelper.java :54) Any help is appreciated ? thanks, Krishnan. -- Sivaramakrishna Iyer Krishnan (Anand) Never assume the obvious is true. - William Safire _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Hi, Thanks for your help as always. I did look at it a little more closer. The caused error is as follows :- INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.vendorBehaviour.snmp.Rule_Cisco_Systems_0.returnValue0 (Rule_Cisco_Systems_0.java:14) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.vendorBehaviour.snmp.Rule_Cisco_Systems_0ReturnValue0Invoker.evaluate(Rule_Cisco_Systems_0ReturnValue0Invoker.java:19) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.rule.PredicateConstraint.isAllowed(PredicateConstraint.java :191) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | ... 28 more INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | org.drools.spi.ConsequenceException: org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: Exception executing predicate com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.vendorBehaviour.snmp.Rule_Cisco_Systems_0ReturnValue0Invoker@39d31fda INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:549) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(DefaultAgenda.java :509) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules( AbstractWorkingMemory.java:430) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules ( AbstractWorkingMemory.java:392) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.vendorBehaviour.snmp.SnmpVendorBehaviourDetermination.determineVendorType (SnmpVendorBehaviourDetermination.java:45) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.DNPIACTask.vendorTypeRuleSNMP(DNPIACTask.java :487) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.DNPIACTask.determineVendorTypeFromSNMP ( DNPIACTask.java:512) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.DNPIACTask.determineVendorType(DNPIACTask.java :556) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.DNPIACTask.processNode (DNPIACTask.java:262) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.fs.is.dnpiac.DNPIACTask.performTask(DNPIACTask.java:171) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.common.utilities.threads.ServiceThread.service ( ServiceThread.java:187) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.common.utilities.threads.ServiceThread.runTask( ServiceThread.java:233) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at com.makesys.common.utilities.threads.DisposableServiceThread.run ( DisposableServiceThread.java:126) INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/09/14 16:46:33 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Based on the above I realized that it is complaining about a NPE. Not sure, if it is happening in the lhs or rhs ?. Is there something that tells you where this happens. I least think I have a couple of things to try out. -Krishnan rule "Generate Cisco object" salience 100 when eval (vendorObj != null) eval (SnmpHelper.getSysObjectId(vendorObj.getPing ()).matches(".*\\.1\\.3\\.6\\.1\\.4\\.1\\.9.*")) then CiscoBaseObject baseObj = new CiscoBaseObject(); baseObj.initialize(vendorObj.getPing(), vendorObj.getDp(), vendorObj.getNodeInfo()); insert(baseObj); end On 9/18/07, Edson Tirelli <tirelli(a)post.com > wrote: > > > Krushnan, > > Isn't there a "cause by" down the stack trace?
