[rules-users] Declared Types with large number of fields

[Phani Saripalli]

Hi. 
I am using declared types in .drl rule rule. When I kept the number of
fields in a declared type low, drools works fine. When I am increasing the
number of fields in a declared type to 300 or even more, drools raising an
exception. 
Particularly, it is giving this.

I suspect, it is something to do with creating class, constructor with so
many arguments at run time. I am looking for a solution, something like
declared types, or a workaround. The purpose for which I am using Drools
limits to use the traditional Java classes, or defining a Java class. 
Also, is there any way, to perform calculations, or value propagations.
That, Drools could assume some value to a variable given a certain
constraint on it.

For example, x > 6 && x < 9, Drools could assume x as 7 or 8 and fire rules?

Thank you.
