Thank you very much for the helpful example!  I am in fact using Drools
5.3.1.  Was type coercion not implemented in that version, at least to the
extent it was in 5.4?  

In the documentation for 5.3.0 Final it gives the example of comparing a
person's age to a string as follows:
Person( age == "10" ) // "10" is coerced to 10.

However, according to what I have found and also your findings it looks like
drools is not trying to coerce the value.
