[rules-users] Only simple types?

[Wolfgang Laun]

Heck, I would have considered changing Boolean to boolean, which also
works in 5.[45].0, but these classes are JAXB generated, and so
there's a good reason for the capital 'B', and I'm stuck with this,
and the is...()

And isSomething() works fine if the return type is *b*oolean.
