[rules-users] Problem sharing declarative model between two packages

I would like to be able to share a declarative model between two packages. When I attempt to do this by creating my model in Guvnor's Global Area and then importing it into each package, I find that instances of the declared types that are created by rules in one package are not recognized by rules in the other package. For example, suppose I create a model in the global area with a declared type: declare MyType field1: String end I then import this model into packages "p1" and "p2". I add the following rule into package "p1": rule "create it" when eval(true) then MyType m = new MyType(); insert(m); end and I add the following rule into package "p2": rule "find it" when $m : MyType() then System.out.println("found it"); end At runtime, the "create it" rule fires and inserts a "MyType" object. However, the "find it" rule never fires. If I add a WorkingMemoryEventListener and look at exactly what is being inserted, I can see that the "create it" rule is inserting an instance of p1.MyType. I assume that the "find it" rule is looking for an instance of p2.MyType and that is why it never fires. Is there a different way to accomplish this? Or, are declarative models simply not intended to be shared across packages? -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Problem-sharing-declarative-model-betwe...
