[rules-users] Class loading for facts used in rules

I have a rule in which I use objects of a class X. I compiled and packaged this rule using BRMS for which I uploaded a jar containing class X as the model. I use a rule agent to build a rulebase from this package. Now, when I pass the facts of type X to the rule engine, I get a ClassCastException saying that "X is incompatible with Y". Y is a subclass of X, but the problem is that a subclass object cannot be assigned to a superclass type. That means at some point, Y is getting loaded instead of X. I'm trying to identify at which point this is happening. In the above case, when does the class loading happen for the types used in a rule? Is it at step 1, 2 or 3 ? 1. When the rule is compiled using MVEL? 2. When the rule is called the first time? 3. When the rulebase is built from the package?
