Edson Tirelli commented on JBRULES-459:
---------------------------------------

Serge, 

Thanks for the answers. Could you please try the current 3.0.x branch and check if the fix worked for your specific case?

>From your original stacktrace:

Stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.drools.base.evaluators.ArrayFactory$ArrayEqualEvaluator.evaluate(Unknown Source)
at org.drools.rule.LiteralConstraint.isAllowed(Unknown Source) 

We can see that the NPE was raised when comparing Array types, and there was indeed a problem there that was fixed. But better to test and be sure. 

Regards
Edson
