[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-3584) String comparison fails when using the "==" comparator

String comparison fails when using the "==" comparator ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBRULES-3584 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3584 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-compiler Affects Versions: 5.2.0.Final Environment: Win 7 / Red Hat Linux, Java 6, Netbeans Reporter: Lisa Horton Assignee: Mark Proctor Labels: compare, drools, string Attachments: RulesTester.zip String comparison using the == operator fails in some cases. "Fails" means the comparison should match but does not. Changing the condition to use equals() operator causes a successful match. I have observed this in both decision tables and in drl rules. I will attach a test case that reproduces the bug. There are workarounds to avoid the bug - the test case demonstrates 3 of them.
