[rules-users] counting facts of a kind

[Wolfgang Laun]

As simple as it gets:

rule countHigh
when
    $n : Number() from accumulate ( $sgc : StartGoalConn() count( $sgc ) )
then
    System.out.println( "plain routes: " + $n );
end

And yet, it fails:

Exception in thread "main" org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException:
java.lang.ClassCastException: rss.ixl.route.TrainStartGoalConn cannot be
cast to java.io.Serializable

Sure, adding "implements Serializable" to StartGoalConn fixes this. But why
is this necessary?

FYI, StartGoalConn is abstract superclass of TrainStartGoalConn - just in
case this has some bearing on this issue.
