Drools condition part always use MVEL strict mode (extended classes doen't get properties of super class ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-475 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-475 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 6.0.1.Final Environment: JDK 6, MVEL as default, with strict-mode set to false with file META-INF/drools.default.packagebuilder.conf with following entries drools.dialect.default = mvel drools.dialect.java = org.drools.compiler.rule.builder.dialect.java.JavaDialectConfiguration drools.dialect.java.compiler = ECLIPSE drools.dialect.mvel = org.drools.compiler.rule.builder.dialect.mvel.MVELDialectConfiguration drools.dialect.mvel.strict = false Reporter: Shailesh T Assignee: Mario Fusco Priority: Critical Labels: drools, mvel, strict-mode Fix For: 6.1.0.Beta4 Attachments: BasicInclude.drl Even after setting MVEL strict mode to false, condition part of drools works using strict mode and can't work with Inherited getters of HashMap (Breaks lot of working rules from 5.4) Error: [Error: unable to resolve method using strict-mode: defaultpkg.Test.Price()] [Near : {... Price < 100 ....}] ... t: HashMap( Price < 11 ) .. Does work but import java.util.HashMap; declare HashMap end declare Test extends HashMap end t: Test( Price<100 ) doesn't work (please see full rules in steps to reproduce) Even condition this["OtherPrices"]["OldPrice"] < 9 does work for Map but not for inherited Test class (applicable but not included in sample code to reproduce issue, added drl for this as attachment)
