[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-980?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Craig West commented on DROOLS-980: ----------------------------------- I am having a similar issue, although I have no idea if the root cause is the same. I have a type declared in DRL as: declare Drools_applications extends ProfileSettingGroup drools_app_external : String drools_lc_app_external : String drools_app_memory : String drools_numeric_app_memory : double drools_app_package : String drools_lc_app_package : String drools_app_cache_storage : String drools_numeric_app_cache_storage : double drools_app_icon_url : String drools_lc_app_icon_url : String drools_app_version : String drools_lc_app_version : String drools_app_name : String drools_lc_app_name : String drools_app_system : String drools_lc_app_system : String drools_app_vcode : String drools_numeric_app_vcode : double drools_app_total_storage : String drools_numeric_app_total_storage : double drools_app_data_storage : String drools_numeric_app_data_storage : double drools_app_code_storage : String drools_numeric_app_code_storage : double drools_app_status : String drools_lc_app_status : String end The exception I got was: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: KieBase.getFactType should only be used to retrieve declared beans.
