Do you mean that this is a new feature since 5.3 and comparing Integer 
worked with values prior to this version ?
This is confusing, as I really though that drools uses equals instead of 
== for String and all "primitives as Object" like Long, Integer and so 
on ...
And this is strange, as in Java, == works with values for Integer, and 
drools is in java ...
And I never faced this problem before, and I am pretty sure that I did 
use Long in tests ... well in fact I was sure before this mail, less now ...

Can you develop more on why this is done this way, and why this is not 
behaving like java ?
