[rules-users] Issue while comparing BigDecimal and Long(only while using references)

Hi, I cam to know that we can compare BigDecimal, Long, Integer interchangeably in the LHS of rule like *when Message(Decimalstatus == Longstatus)* I found that this rule will fire as long as both Decimalstatus and Longstatus Values are same. But when I try to use this feature in the below mentioned way *when Message($dec:Decimalstatus) Message(longstatus == $dec)* This rule doesn't fire even though I have two Message object which satisfy the condition.However, when I try * when Message($dec:Decimalstatus) Message(longstatus == $dec.longValue())* It fires properly. Is this an issue or am I missing anything? Any suggestions for better approach are welcome.Thanks in advance. -- cheers Sumatheja Dasararaju
