As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with your first attempt.<div>I've attached a test file of your scenario. It works for me. Can you please test my file and create a test case that fails?</div><div><br></div><div>

Hi All,<br>
I'm using Drools 5.x. I have the following class:<br>
public class Machine{<br>
...<br>
private List rules = new ArrayList();<br>
...<br>
}<br>
<br>
The 'rules' list holds strings. I would like from my rule to check whether<br>
that list contains the string "rule2".<br>
<br>
I've tried doing this in the following ways, but get compilation error:<br>
<br>
rule "rule1"<br>
when<br>
/*1st attempt:*/ $m:Machine(rules contains "rule2")<br>
/*2nd attempt:*/ $m:Machine(rules.contains("rule2") )<br>
then<br>
...<br>
What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance !!!<br>
