Geoffrey is correct. Java erasure makes it impossible to match objects
based on generic types. It is also a best practice anyway to not use general
purpose collections as your business entities in your business model. Best
to use a properly defined business entity and then the generics issue is not
really an issue.

Java's generics are implemented by erasure,
which implies that there no information available at runtime that a
instance of a List is of a certain generic type, for example Boost.
So I don't think this is possible.
Note that some things do work in erasure IIRC, like the generic type of a
defined field in a class is available at runtime:
public class Foo {
private List<Bar> list;
}
but that's not useful in this case :)

Hello,
In my rules file I'd like to set something like this:
rule "mayThrowDice"
when
$user : User($gp : gameplay)
$gameplay(this == $gp)
then
exists List<Boost>() {
..... some business logic
}
end
But it looks like there is no generics support. How can I make sure there
is a List of type Boost inserted into the session?
Thank you,
Martin
