> My (albeit improper) rule syntax that caused the NPE error:
> when
> 	QueueList ( queueIds contains 1 )
> 	( not EventList ( events contains 1 )
> 	|| ( $eventList : EventList ( events contains 1 )
> 	&& RfEvent ( eventTypeId == 1, lastActivationLong after[-1h] sessionTime ) from $eventList.events ) )
> then
> 	modify (eventList) { add(1) }

> Request for ticket:
> [10:19] <etirelli> jary: raising a NPE is clearly a bug, but the reason is that you have modify(eventList) instead of modify($eventList)... in any case, the way you authored the rule is not ideal
> [10:19] <etirelli> jary: could you please open a JIRA so that we can provide an appropriate error message, please?
