in theory for nested accessors it should switch to the MVEL dialect
automatically. You only need to specify the MVEL dialect explicitely
for eval, return value and consequences.<br>

I think you should use dialect "mvel" when accessing the nested accessors.
and I had some trouble with "mvel" dialect in 4M2 release.

Please let me know if it works for you..

Thanks,

This works: when Claim( submissionInfo == null), but not this: when

Rule file, SubmissionInfo.java and exception are below.

What am I missing?
