             Summary: FactType.get/set should throw specific exception (not NPE) for unknown fields
                 Key: DROOLS-546
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-546
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 6.1.0.CR1
            Reporter: Benoit Voisin
            Assignee: Mark Proctor


factType.get(instance, "unknownField") is currently throwing an NPE. This gives improper information to the user/developper.
I propose that it throws a new UnknownFactFieldException giving improved information giving good hints for debugging or enabling specific exception management.

I will provide shortly a pull-request with a possible fix.
