[rules-users] Strange MVEL error

Hi All, I am trying to compile a drool rule using MVEL dialect and getting the following weird error. Unable to determine the used declarations. unbalanced braces (near code: << ... core1_entityOID); ...>>) (position: 33) : [Rule name=Legacy ETSDB Rule, agendaGroup=MAIN, salience=0, no-loop=false] org.mvel.ParseException: unbalanced braces (near code: << ... core1_entityOID); ...>>) (position: 33)Unable to build expression for 'consequence' The code I am trying to compile is: package S_124 import com.ms.ieddata.dataQuality.violation.Violation; import com.ms.ieddata.etsdb.model.EtsExecution_core; import com.ms.ieddata.etsdb.model.EtsExecutionOrder_core; global java.util.HashSet violations; global java.util.HashSet violationKeys; dialect "mvel" rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" when EtsExecution_core1:EtsExecution_core(crossInd == "1" , lastCapacity != "3" , lastDestinationID not in ("EUREX","IDEM","MEFF","LIFFE")) EtsExecutionOrder_core1:EtsExecutionOrder_core(entityOID == EtsExecution_core1.parentOID , exDestination in ("I","L") , swapComponentType != "swaps" , orderCapacity not in ("D","R","X","L","E","T","C","O","P","S"),EtsExecutionOrder_core1_entity OID:entityOID,EtsExecutionOrder_core1_application:application,EtsExecuti onOrder_core1_entityVID:entityVID) then String key="S-124_EtsExecution_core" + "_entityVID_" + "EtsExecutionOrder_core1_entityVID" + "_application_" + "EtsExecutionOrder_core1_application" + "_entityOID_" + "EtsExecutionOrder_core1_entityOID"; vPresent = violationKeys.contains(key); if (!vPresent) { violation = new Violation(); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("ruleId","S-124"); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("ruleName","Legacy ETSDB Rule"); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("legacyRuleType","1"); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("entityName","EtsExecution_core"); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("fieldName","Field"); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("entityVID",EtsExecutionOrder_core1_ent ityVID); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("application",EtsExecutionOrder_core1_a pplication); violation.putRuleActionAttribute("entityOID",EtsExecutionOrder_core1_ent ityOID); } end The code works fine when I use java dialect. Also, if I remove the if statement from consequence, the code get compiled in mvel and java dialects. Am I missing something obvious here? I am using drools 4.0.1.
