             Summary: KieBase Deserialization: NullPointerException
                 Key: DROOLS-2552
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-2552
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core engine
    Affects Versions: 7.7.0.Final
         Environment: Windows 7, Java 1.8, Drools 7.7.0.Final, jBPM 7.7.0.Final
            Reporter: Florian Braun
            Assignee: Mario Fusco


I have run into an issue with the KieBase serialization throwing a NullPointerException when using exists and parentheses around an or when rules are in a RuleFlowGroup.

Example rules:
package com.sample.rules

rule "Your First Rule"
ruleflow-group "group1"
    when
        exists ( String(this == "Hello") or String(this == "World") )
    then
        System.out.println("Hello or World");
end

rule "Your Second Rule"
ruleflow-group "group1"
    when
        $string: String(this == "Hello World")
    then
        System.out.println($string);
end

Having the first rule wrap the or in () will cause a deserialization NPE:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.drools.core.common.BaseNode.getSinks(BaseNode.java:241)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.rewireNodeAfterDeserialization(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:494)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.rewireNodeAfterDeserialization(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:511)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.rewireNodeAfterDeserialization(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:511)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.rewireNodeAfterDeserialization(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:511)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.rewireReteAfterDeserialization(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:489)
	at org.drools.core.impl.KnowledgeBaseImpl.readExternal(KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:483)
....

Some testing shows this:
If the first rule is on its own then this error does *not* occur.
If the rule does not use () the error does *not* occur.
If the rules are not in an rfg this error does *not* occur
