[rules-users] Need help with Decision Table Conditions

I have a decision table with the conditions shown in the graphic below. When Drools attempts to compile the spreadsheet I get the following errors: nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to return Declaration for identifier '$pgMeta' : [Rule name='Section Head Spacing_18'] Unable to create restriction '[VariableRestriction: == $pgMeta ]' for field 'pageMeta' in the rule 'Section Head Spacing_18' : [Rule name='Section Head Spacing_18'] Unable to build expression for 'from' : [Error: Failed to compile: 2 compilation error(s): - (1,7) unqualified type in strict mode for: $pgMeta - (1,22) unable to resolve method using strict-mode: java.lang.Object.getLineMetas()] [Near : {... Unknown ....}] ^ [Line: 1, Column: 0] '$pgMeta.getLineMetas()' : [Rule name='Section Head Spacing_18'] http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n2195003/Picture... The LHS of a hand-coded rule for this, is as follows: when $pageMeta : PageMeta() $bodyLines : LineMeta( pageMeta == $pageMeta, lineType == LineType.BODY ) from $pageMeta.getLineMetas() $bodyLine : LineMeta( previousPageMetaComponent != null, previousPageMetaComponent == previousLineMeta, previousLineMeta.lineType == LineType.SECTION_HEAD, verticalSpacingToPreviousPageMetaComponent < 5.9525 ) from $bodyLines Can this rule be created in a Decision table or not?
