[rules-users] Lists and enums in Drools

Hi, I need help with constructing rules for my scenario. I started off by creating enum values in the main java file and comparing them with the rules to get different responses for different enum values. That was easy. This time, I'm constructing a list of enum values and passing them into the rules engine as well. I would like to configure my rules in such a way that when they look for the different enum values, they should also look in the list to test if the enum value passed into the rules engine is a member of the list or not. My old rules looked like this: rule "Testing for Alpha" salience 100 when alpha : AlphaWrapperClass(type == Class.ALPHA) then System.out.println("Found Alpha"); alpha.isFound(true); end I tweaked the above rule to : rule "Testing for Alpha" salience 100 when $test: AlphaEnumCollectionsWrapperClass(alphaList : alphaList) alpha : AlphaWrapperClass(type == Class.ALPHA && $test contains type ) then System.out.println("Found Loudspeaker Equipment. Who wants to jam that? Must resist... Jamming sequence in progress... "); materiel.setJam(true); end But I'm seeing the following error: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Unable to create Field Extractor for '$test' of '[ClassObjectType classAlphaEnumCollectionsWrapperClass]' in rule "Testing for Alpha": [Rule name=Testing for Alpha, agendaGroup=MAIN, salience=100, no-loop=false] I'd greatly appreciate your help.
