Hi, I can't seem to make this syntax work in Drools 4.0.2. Pls. see my sample code below. ________________________________________ class MyClass { String id; String name;
MyClass(String id, String name){ this.id = id; this.name = name; } : getter, setter methods : } MyClass obj = new MyClass("1"", "name"); TreeMap<String, MyClass> mapOfObj = new TreeMap<String, MyClass>(); mapOfObj.put("keyOfObj", obj); ________________________________________ DRL file ------- global java.util.TreeMap mapOfObj; rule chkobj when obj : MyClass(mapOfObj["keyOfObj"].id == "1"); eval(obj.getName() == "name"); ________________________________________ I'm getting this error: org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.rule.EvalCondition.isAllowed(EvalCondition.java:76) Is my syntax correct and has someone used this in 4.0.2 or should I move on to Drools 4.0.3? Thanks in advance.
