Hi ,
   i can suggest one more way to solve it. Dont create instance in when part.
Instead of better you convert that helper class method as static methods.
So that u can call that method directly . but before that u should import that helper class in drl file.
   Or second way u can directly write a method in ur drl file itself.

Example :
 
 
import com.g2x.agility.leads.workflow.rulesengine.RuleUtilities;
 
 
rule"ConvertRule"
 
when
           eval ( RuleUtilities.getStringToInteger( age) > 40)
// getStringToInteger(String age) is static method
 
then
    System.out.print("XXXXName");
 
end
 

Defeat yourself today!

I need to convert a variable from string to intger in the rule. That variable
here is rank, so, I create a helper class called 'Conversion' with just
one
function/method, which is supposed to convert the string argument passed to
it, to an integer and then I call that method in rule as inline eval.
What's
wrong here because this is not working and I don't want to change
'When'
part too much because it has 10 or so other variable with &&
connective,
which I've removed for clarity here. Any input would be appreciated much.

package harules;
import com.hibernate.Person;
import com.uhg.utils.Conversion;

rule "one"
salience 10
	when
	$con: Conversion();
	pers: Person(age!= null , age >= 18 , eval($con.getInteger(rank) > 140))
	then
	System.out.println("Evaluated true");
end

//content of Conversion class
package com.utils;
public class Conversion {
public Integer getInteger(String s)
{
	return Integer.parseInt(s);
}
}
