Well, I've downloaded the source, and it appears that it is occuring in the org.mvel.MVELRuntime class, method execute(). My equals token ("==") is being properly recognized, and converted to its integer representation (10). However, in a block with switch (operator), the org.mvel.Operator.EQUAL token does not appear, so the execute() method returns a null value because nothing is ever evaluated.
I've even verified that null is being returned from the execute method. I stepped back out to the line (in org.mvel.CompiledExpression,java) return handleParserEgress(execute(false, this, staticContext, factory), returnBigDecimal); and then stepped into handleParserEgress and the first parameter, which is the return value from execute() is null! Any ideas?

Jason Partyka wrote: It looks like the bug is still in there. I am attempting to resolve it myself, but in order to do so I need to go into the MVEL code, but the mvel jar that is included as part of the drools classpath container (within eclipse) is just mvel14.jar. So I'm not sure where the source is or what version of MVEL source I should be attaching. I realize that the source-location thing is just an Eclipse issue, but I thought I'd let you know right away that it looks like it's still there. We strip jar version numbers to make deployment with Eclipse easier. If you look at parent pom.xml it will tell you the version of MVEL used. Anywhere you can point me to that would help with making sure I'm looking the right code.

I'm no expert but recall there can be problems running "long running" (subjective) code from AWT's worker thread. I thought it was good practice to run your "application code" in a worker thread. This was the first google hit I had on the matter. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/vihavain/k03/Java/JavathreadsandGUI.html Cheers, Mike From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edson Tirelli Sent: 08 March 2008 13:15 To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] Interesting null pointer exception when inserting afact. Jason, Can you please isolate and show us the rule that is creating the problem? It is happening either in a eval() statement or in a nested property access. []s Edson 2008/3/7, Jason Partyka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, This is in relation to drools 4.0.4 I have an interesting problem. I am getting a null pointer exception when I am inserting a fact into a StatefulSession object. What is odd about this NPE is that, as far as I can tell (and I have inserted a breakpoint right before I insert the fact) that all the properties in the object are initialized, and there are no rules accessing any thing that could be null. So here's my exception trace (just first few lines to get context): Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.rule.EvalCondition.isAllowed(EvalCondition.java:76) at org.drools.reteoo.EvalConditionNode.assertTuple(EvalConditionNode.java:145) at org.drools.reteoo.SingleTupleSinkAdapter.createAndPropagateAssertTuple(SingleTupleSinkAdapter.java:55) at org.drools.reteoo.LeftInputAdapterNode.assertObject(LeftInputAdapterNode.java:116) at org.drools.reteoo.SingleObjectSinkAdapter.propagateAssertObject(SingleObjectSinkAdapter.java:22) at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode.assertObject(ObjectTypeNode.java:153) at org.drools.reteoo.Rete.assertObject(Rete.java:177) at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.assertObject(ReteooRuleBase.java:192) at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooWorkingMemory.doInsert(ReteooWorkingMemory.java:71) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:886) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:858) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:659) at com.hightower.drools.executablerules.Rules.setTemplate(Rules.java:112) ....
