[rules-users] nested accessors with Sets

Hello, Please excuse me if I have double posted - my first did not seem to appear. I am wondering if the following is valid rule syntax. I am getting a stacktrace when the rules fire that points to a ClassCastException on a HashSet I am using v4.0 GA. Thank you, Mark rule StateMatch when $ca:CandidateAssociation(nurseDetails.stateLicensures excludes patientDetails.state ) then retract( $ca ); end public class CandidateAssociation { private PatientDetails patientDetails; private NurseDetails nurseDetails; private int overlapHours; public CandidateAssociation( PatientDetails patientDetails, NurseDetails nurseDetails) { super(); this.patientDetails = patientDetails; this.nurseDetails = nurseDetails; overlapHours = participantDetails.getNumberOverlapHourCnt(nurseDetails); } [...] } public class NurseDetails { private Set stateLicensures = new HashSet(); [...] } public class PatientDetails { private String state; [...] } ------------------------------------------------------ Firing Rules **********
