             Summary: NPE ClassTypeResolver.resolveType
                 Key: DROOLS-27
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-27
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 5.5
         Environment: Eclipse Juno SR1, Win8
            Reporter: Marc Dzaebel
            Assignee: Mark Proctor
            Priority: Blocker


Declaring a type that extends an imported type leads to Null Pointer.

According to the documentation at http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html/ch04.html#d0e5060
it should be possible to declare:

{quote}
import org.people.Person
declare Person end
declare Student extends Person end
{quote}

However, adding the last line, leads to an NPE during readKnowledgeBase:
{color:red}
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.drools.base.ClassTypeResolver.resolveType(ClassTypeResolver.java:130)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.isNovelClass(PackageBuilder.java:2291)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.generateDeclaredBean(PackageBuilder.java:2473)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.processTypeDeclarations(PackageBuilder.java:2133)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.mergePackage(PackageBuilder.java:1272)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackage(PackageBuilder.java:869)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl(PackageBuilder.java:466)
	at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addKnowledgeResource(PackageBuilder.java:694)
	at org.drools.builder.impl.KnowledgeBuilderImpl.add(KnowledgeBuilderImpl.java:51)
	at org.drools.builder.impl.KnowledgeBuilderImpl.add(KnowledgeBuilderImpl.java:40)
	at com.sample.DroolsTest.readKnowledgeBase(DroolsTest.java:40)
	at com.sample.DroolsTest.main(DroolsTest.java:23)
{color}

To reproduce simply:
- *Create a Drools Project*
- *Add the following lines to Sample.drl*
  {{declare Message end}}
  {{declare Any extends Message end}}
- *Run*
