> There is an issue in Drools 6, both in PHREAK and RETEOO mode, which causes NPEs to be thrown when a session is serialized and deserialized.
> The problem occurs when running a stateful KieSession in STREAM mode and using Events with @expires annotations. When you insert an event with an @expires annotation, and you explicitly retract that Event again from the engine (i.e. KieSession.delete), and after that serialize the session, you end up with an invalid serialized session.
> When you later deserialize the session, and immediately serialize it again, a NPE is thrown at: org.drools.core.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode$ExpireJobContextTimerOutputMarshaller.serialize(ObjectTypeNode.java:669). When you deserialize the session and then advance the pseudo clock to a moment where the original event (which we've already retracted from the working memory) should have expired, a NPE is thrown at: org.drools.core.common.AbstractWorkingMemory$WorkingMemoryReteExpireAction.execute(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:1524)
> So, it seems that when the Event is explicitly retracted with KieSesion.delete(event), the event is removed from the WM, but the Expiry Timer Job is not. That ExpiryJob gets serialized with a 'null' fact handle, which does not give issues on de-serialization, but on the next serialization of the session, or when an action is peformed that triggers the expire action (i.e. move the pseudo-clock).
> A reproducer can be  found here: http://www.github.com/DuncanDoyle/DroolsSerializationIssue . To reproduce:
> - git clone http://www.github.com/DuncanDoyle/DroolsSerializationIssue
> - cd DroolsSerializationIssue/DroolSerializationIssue
> - mvn clean test -P phreak	(runs the test with Drools in PHREAK mode)
> - mvn clean test -P reteoo 	(runs the test with Drools in RETEOO mode)
> In both modes 2 of the 3 tests produce an NPE.
> Cheers,
> Duncan
