Hi.

 

I’ve currently evaluating Drools 4.0 for a project of ours and I’m running into some problems.

 

I have a rule which looks like this:

 

rule "W250.42 Editable"

      when

            DTO(w250_4_1.value in ("0","1","6","7","A","C","D","G","L","M","P","Q","S","V","Z") )

      then

            System.out.println ("0");

            Action action = createAction("W250.42", false, true);

            retList.add(action);

end

 

 

both DTO and w250_4_1 are extremely simple beans. w250_4_1 just has 1 property ’value’ which is a String and DTO has one property w250_4_1 which is the bean w250_4_1.

 

Now when I put “0” into w250_4_1 then everything works fine. The rule is true and the ‘then’ portion is executed. However, if I set w250_4_1 to “6” (which is also present in the in (…)) then I get the following error.

If I keep w250_4_1 as “0”, but move “0” in the rule to any other place place in the in() list (e.g. in (“1”,”0”,…), then I get a similar error.

 

I get similar errors when trying to use ‘not in’ in the same circumstance, except that then the property is (‘!’)

 

What seems to be the issue?

 

Thanks in advance!
