[rules-users] Drools and mvel

Hi guys,

I have an issue which involves smooks, drools and mvel.

Quick explanation, the unit test is just a smooks run. Nothing complicated. The test passes happily. It contains an expression that involves an MVEL "IF" statement. 

Now if I add a drools startup (I'm not using drools in the test, I'm just initialising it), the unit test now fails on the "IF" statement. The exception received is:

If I remove the 3 lines initialising drools, it all passes again. I suspect that the MVEL engine is a singleton, and both drools and smooks are using the same instance. I believe drools is setting MVEL to disallow "IF" statements on the RHS of a rule. (see: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Trivial-rule-with-condition-in-RHS-won-t-compile-help-please-td67458.html) I don't understand why MVEL thinks that my smooks expression is a RHS of a rule....


Heres the unit test:
@Test
    public void testSmooks2() throws Exception {
    
        String input =
        "<ns5:user partyAdminRoles=\"\" lastName=\"Edwards\" firstName=\"Paul\" primary=\"false\" userID=\"pedwards\" otpTokenRemainingUses=\"0\" registrationCodeRemainingUses=\"0\" enabled=\"true\" customIntAttr1=\"0\" xmlns:ns2=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0:reference\" xmlns=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0\" xmlns:ns4=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0:password\" xmlns:ns3=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0:search\" xmlns:ns5=\"http://hyro.com/da/objectmodel\" xmlns:ns6=\"http://www.sifinfo.org/au/infrastructure/2.x\" xmlns:ns7=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SPML:2:0:batch\">\n" +

        "    </ns5:authzRoleSubscriptions>\n" +
        "    <ns5:auxEntities/>\n" +
        "</ns5:user>\n";
        
        UserType inUser = null;
        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = null;

        try {
            log.debug("Unmarshalling: " + input);
            unmarshaller = (Unmarshaller) SpmlConstants.unmarshallerPool.borrowObject();
            inUser = ((JAXBElement<UserType>) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new StringReader(input))).getValue();
        } catch (JAXBException e) {
            log.error("Exception while trying to unmarshall input daSpmlString: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("Exception while trying to unmarshall input daSpmlString: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        } finally {
            SpmlConstants.unmarshallerPool.returnObject(unmarshaller);
        } 
        
        log.debug("Unmarshalled: " + inUser.getUserID());
        
        Properties parsed = runSmooksTransform(inUser);
        assertNotNull(parsed);
        
        
        for(Iterator<Object> i = parsed.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
            Object key = i.next();
            Object value = parsed.get(key);
            System.out.println("Key: " + key + " value: " + value);
        }
        
    }

Heres the smooks file:

Any Ideas? I've wasted 3 days getting to this point....
