Yes, this should work as the javabean spec allows it and both Drools Expert and Planner support it:

  public boolean isFixed() {...}

but IIRC a wrapper Boolean shouldn't:

   public Boolean isFixed() {...}

Drools, and hence I assume Planner, *should* handle boolean "is" accessor. Can you provide more details?

I have news for you!

I had an obvious and (bad surprise) buggy mismatch.

The obvious mismatch was: setBlockList and getBlocklist (small 'l' in the
getter).

The other mismatch was isFixed and setFixed. *Drools hates the 'is'* because
(as I guessed) of it's introspector mechanism. It worked only when I renamed
it to getFixed. Your bugfix would have harmed instead of helped, as it would
have let that error pass silently.

Please open an issue to address this.

Wish I wasnt religious to name boolean getters with 'is'. I will notify of
further problems once the problem gets back on track.
