[rules-users] Function Compilation Error when using JANINO

[Garde, Varun (Equity Linked Technology)]

Hello,
I am trying to use JANINO with drools 4.0.7. 
In my rule file I have a function definition, which is throwing a
compilation error with JANINO but works perfectly with ECLIPSE compiler.
The only janino in my classpath is v 2.5.10.
Want to make sure I am not doing something stupid here.

/* Drool File snippet */
function List getFieldsFromDelimiter(String value, String delimiter) {
	List fieldList = new ArrayList();
	String[] values = value.split(delimiter);
	for(String val: values){
	 	fieldList.add(new Field(val));
	}
	return fieldList;
}

/* Exception trace */
org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: [ getFieldsFromDelimiter : Function
Compilation error
getFieldsFromDelimiter (line:26): File
com/elt/saturn/enumerations/GetFieldsFromDelimiter.java, Line 28, Column

delimiter) throws Exception {
        
	List fieldList = new ArrayList();
	String[] values = value.split(delimiter);
	for(String val: values){//this is line 28
	 	fieldList.add(new Field(val));
	}
	return fieldList;

    }      
}
/*  

/* Configurations supplied to the PackageBuilderConf */
drools.dialect.java.compiler = JANINO
drools.dialect.java.compiler.lnglevel= 1.5


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Varun.
