Re: [rules-dev] use of declared facts

Michal is correct from the point of view of the application. That is required because the actual classes are generated at compile time and not visible to the application classpath. Although, that is not the only way. Inside your rules, they are visible and you instantiate them the same way as you instantiate any other java Pojo: rule xyz when // sometihng then Person p = new Person(); p.setName( "Bob" ); insert( p ); end Also, if you use Guvnor to define your model, Guvnor is capable of generating a jar file for you with the generated classes. This way you can download the jar and add it to the classpath of your application and use it as any POJOs too.
