If I understand you correctly, this is a Java runtime restriction.  

Java classes in the default package can reference any class in a named package.  Other the other hand, classes in a named package cannot reference any class in a default package.  Classes in a default package can reference other classes in a default package.

Thus, the easiest way normally to deal with this problem is to either (1) put everything in a named package, including any grails classes/domain objects/etc or (2) put everything in a default package.  I'd suggest that you go with option 1 because it'll give you fewer problems.

But I'm not sure if that's the question you're asking or if this helps you.  Hopefully, it does. :)

   Robert,

   What version of Drools are you using?
   I remember seeing something about this in the past... I will search JIRAs to see if we have any ticket open for 5.0.

Has anyone else run into issues trying to reference objects in a default package?  I'm trying to use Drools with Grails and my rule which compiled nicely in a package setting has issues when faced with a default package. 

 

The error is "foo" cannot be resolved to a type

 

I've tried putting the rule both in the default package and putting it in a named package, and neither seem to work.   If I put my objects back into packages, everything is fine.

 

Any  advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Robert Costello
