I'm having trouble figuring out the ACTION section of a decision table. Everything else appears to be working.

My rules result in a simple True/False condition. To do this in a decision table, I've created a class called BooleanAnswer that looks like:

public class BooleanAnswer {

            private boolean   answer;

            /**

             * no-arg constructor

             */

            public BooleanAnswer(){

            }

            /**

             * create your own default answer

             * @param answer the answer to set

             */

            public BooleanAnswer(boolean answer){

                        setAnswer(answer);

            }

            /**

             * @return the answer

             */

            public boolean isTrue() {

                        return answer;

            }

            /**

             * @param answer the answer to set

             */

            public void setAnswer(boolean answer) {

                        this.answer = answer;

            }

}

Then I create a decision table with the following ACTION in it:

ACTION

answer: BooleanAnswer

answer.setAnswer($param);

Allowed

TRUE

This generates the following errors:
