 Jess has been able to handle null properties for a long time; 6.1p8
 can handle them, as can the current versions. What problem are you
 having, exactly?

Hi and thanks a lot for helping, the details are here :
 
That's the ShadowFact :
public class Test {

 
private Integer a = null;
private Integer b = 4;

 
public Test() {

 
}

 
public int getA() {
  return a;
}

 
public int getB() {
  return b;
}

}
 
That's the .CLP file :
 
(defclass Test xxx.yyy.zzz.Test)

(defrule testrule
(Test (a ?a) (b ?b))
=
(printout t testrule ok)
)
 
That's the java code :
 
void functionX() {
...
jessEngine.add(new Test());
...
}
 
That's the exception :

Re: JESS: dealing with shadow facts having null properties

2007-08-03 Thread Ernest Friedman-Hill
Look closely at your stack trace: it says Message: Called method  
threw an exception. If you called getCause() on the JessException,  
it would return a NullPointerException, and if you looked at that  
NPE's stack trace, you'd see it was thrown by the getA() method of  
your Test class. Here are the relevant lines from your code:


private Integer a = null;
...
public int getA() {
  return a;
}

Note that the type of variable a is Integer, but getA() is  
returning an int. That means that, due to auto-unboxing, the Java  
compiler is going to emit code as if you had written something like


public int getA() {
return a.intValue();
}


and since a is null, this line throws a NullPointerException. It's  
not Jess's fault if your getter methods throw NPEs when called!
