Hi Seema,

     Your rules look fine, and the reason you see an "eval" in the exception text is that this:

 inventory.leaseInformation != null

     Is resolved as an eval.

     Anyway, drools does *not* use CGLIB. We generate bytecode directly using ASM. No CGLIB in the middle.

     The problem, whatever it is, is related to the pojo model and any of these frameworks interfering with it. So, if you can create an isolated test case that allow us to reproduce the problem, it will help us understand how can we support your scenario of usage.

     Thanks,
         Edson

Edson,

We are not sure how the CGLIB proxy is getting created. We were under the
impression that it is the shadow fact proxy generated by Drools itself. I
would like to share a few more points about our application in case they are
somehow related to this problem.

1. We are using Spring AOP for intercepting method calls and passing the
facts, globals etc to a class that invoke Drools. Version of Spring is 2.0.7
2. We are using Hibernate 3.x/JPA for persistence. In fact the Inventory
POJO that is causing the ClassCastException is a JPA entity
3. We have rules defined in multiple packages. The Inventory POJO is used by
rules in all the packages. But the exception is occurring only for rules in
a particular package. That too only occasionally.

Please let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks,
Seema
