The flexibility provided by an Object is very valuable. We use Integer
and String objects all over the place today in our facts with drools. I
would hate to give it up.

Subject: Re: [rules-dev] need advice re null handling


if bar is an integer it will be 0, if its an Integer it will be null.
The Q is do we make Integer work like the primitive, or do we make it
work like an Object.

        OK, this much is clear: 
        
        Foo(field == null) can be true if field is null.
        
        but, what about Foo(field > 3), and field is null? should that
be false? what about Foo(field != 3) - should that be true? 
        
        in SQL, null will always result in a false condition, unless you
explicitly use null.
        
        Thoughts?
