I can give this a shot, but the reason why you suggest this is not obvious to 
me.

Have you encountered this problem yourself?

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.

   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.

2008/3/7, Jason Partyka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[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:

(that setTemplate method is not a drools template)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason
