Hi, I searched the Jboss-rules Jira and didn't find this issue documented yet, though I may have missed it. Essentially it appears that any rule using the U.S. Dollar character ($) in the rule name fails when compiled with Janino. I was able to reproduce the issue using the "default" new JBoss-rules project wizard in Eclipse. The stack trace follows, though it may not be much help. I tried tracking it down and it looks like the problem is actually caused in the parse/compilation step (i.e. builder.addPackageFromDrl( source );). After this step the rule in question has a null "consequence", which causes the "AbstractRuleBase.addRule(...)" method to fail when it does the isValid() check. <code> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The rule called Show me da $ is not valid. Check for compile errors reported. at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addRule(Unknown Source) at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.addRule(Unknown Source) at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(Unknown Source) at com.sample.DroolsTest.readRule(DroolsTest.java:89) at com.sample.DroolsTest.main(DroolsTest.java:29) </code> Please let me know if you require additional information and/or if you'd like me to log this in the Jira.

I queried this issue some months back and the response back then was that it couldn't be fixed and that we shouldn't use '$' in the rule files. I suggested back then that the example doco should be updated to reflect this.

You will need to also log a bug in the Janino JIRA for it to be fixed there. My suggestion is to also prove that this doesn't work with a standalone Janino use.

Feel free to log it in JIRA for JBoss Rules, however we cannot fix this . You will need to also log a bug in the Janino JIRA for it to be fixed there. My suggestion is to also prove that this doesn't work with a standalone Janino use.
