Cannot declare an inner class type when the type is used in a rule ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: DROOLS-150 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-150 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 5.5.0.Final, 6.0.0.Beta2 Reporter: Davide Sottara Assignee: Mark Proctor Fix For: 5.5.1.Final Local class names of (public static) inner classes are not resolved uniformly when looking up type declarations during the pattern compilation process That is: class Bar { public static class Foo {} } declare Foo @role(event) end rule X when Foo() then end the "declared" type is resolved as Bar.Foo in package com.sample, while the pattern looks for the declaration of Foo in the sampe package. (Notice that the fully qualified name is the same instead)
