Fw: [rules-users] rules questions...

this is a one of my rules... rule "cancel_menu" when arrayList : ArrayList() MegaTransferObject(other_EffectiveOrderTypeDsl != null, other_EffectiveOrderTypeDsl == Constants.NEW_OPEN_ORDER_TYPE) and not MegaTransferObject(orders_FkOrderStatusId != null, orders_FkOrderStatusId == Constants.PENDING_TO_BE_SUBMITTED_ORDER_STATUS) then arrayList.add(new String[]{Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_TREE_MENU_DSL, Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_MENU_CANCEL}); end i do an assert of an empty arrayList... when i use this arrayList : ArrayList() on the when the rule fire an error...why? will the ArrayList be the same on all the rules (i think it will but want to make sure) Joel G.
