[rules-users] No globals in functions?

There's probably an easy explanation for this. I was wondering about why functions inside of rule files can't access globals? For example, I have a log4j logger that I pass into my rule files via a global. The logger should never be a part of working memory. It's just there to capture valuable feedback. But I can't do this: global Logger log; function void foo(String cond) { if (cond == "error") log.error("I saw an error"); } Because the compiler says that in the function it can't resolve 'log'. -A Allen F.
