[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Some seam/drools questions

Disclosure: I have about four hours of experience with drools. This contrived rule works: rule ReadJobTicket | no-loop | activation-group "permissions" | when | check: PermissionCheck(name == "jt", action == "read", granted == false) | JobTicket(titleName : title) | Role(name == titleName) | then | check.grant(); | end Permission is granted when the user has a role that matches the title in JobTicket. What I really want is permission granted when the user has a role that matches a field in the job ticket's organization. Something like: rule ReadJobTicket | no-loop | activation-group "permissions" | when | check: PermissionCheck(name == "jt", action == "read", granted == false) | JobTicket(orgPrefix : organization.getPrefix()) | Role(name == orgPrefix) | then | check.grant(); | end Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I'm not sure I'm referencing the prefix field in the jobTicket's organization properly. Can someone give me a clue? JobTicket has a method getOrganization(); Organization has a method getPrefix(). Next, I wanted to try inserting a long-lived fact into working memory in my app's authentication method. The seam documentation provides: ((RuleBasedIdentity) RuleBasedIdentity.instance()).getSecurityContext().insert(currentUser); But I'm pretty sure it should read: ((RuleBasedIdentity) Identity.instance()).getSecurityContext().insert(currentUser); But this generates a null pointer exception; it appears the security context does not exist. Any idea why? And finally, can someone tell me what this means (from the seamspace example): MemberBlog(member : member -> (member.getUsername().equals(principalName))) I can't find anything in the drools documentation that describes this particular syntax.
