Hello, At compile time, are the getter and setter methods automatically created for a declared type. In the Drools Expert PDF it gives the following example: declare Person name : String dateOfBirth : java.util.Date address : Address end and it states that the following class is generated: public class Person implements Serializable { private String name; private java.util.Date dateOfBirth; private Address address; // empty constructor public Person() {...} // constructor with all fields public Person( String name, Date dateOfBirth, Address address ) {...} // if keys are defined, constructor with keys public Person( ...keys... ) {...} *// getters and setters* // equals/hashCode // toString } Then the setter is referenced as follows: rule "Using a declared Type" when $p : Person( name == "Bob" ) then // Insert Mark, who is Bob's mate. Person mark = new Person(); *mark.setName("Mark");* insert( mark ); end ---- I tried the same with this simple declared type: declare Foo bar : int end rule "abc" when some condition then Foo e = new Foo(); * e.setBar = 2;* insert (e); end But the compiler complains indicating that it "cannot be resolved or is not a field". Do I need to specify the getter/setters in my DRL file explicitly? Thank you for your help in advance.
