[rules-users] Possible bug in Drools Flow: Globals declared at EventWait node are not persisted to the rf file.

[Ajay.Gautam at rbs.com]

PS: Is this the corrent list for rules flow users? Is rules flow an active project?

This might be a bug:

Globals declared Constraints for an Event Wait node don't show up in the headers section of the rf file.

Using Drools runtime 5.0.0 with Eclipse 3.4.1 on Win XP.

Steps:
1. Create a new rules flow file using the "RuleFlow file" wizard.
2. Add an Event Wait and an End node. Create connections between them.
3. Save the file. Open the rf file in another editor (such as vi). Analyze the structure.
4. From the event wait node's properties, open the constraints -> global section. Add "global String testStr"
5. Save the file. Open the rf file in another editor (such as vi). Notice that the global variable is missing from the file.
6. Perform the same steps, but use an Action node instead of an Event Wait node. Notice that testStr is added correctly to the header / globals section of the rf file.

Could anyone else pls confirm that this is a real issue.

Thanks
