[rules-users] IllegalAccessError in shadow classes
Hi,
usings Drools 4.0.4 and MVEL 1.4, this simple rule:
---
package test;
import java.util.Collections;
dialect "mvel"
rule "Rule #1"
when
then
insert(Collections.singletonMap("content", "hello"));
end
--
produces:
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class
org.drools.shadow.java.util.Collections$SingletonMapShadowProxy cannot
access its superclass java.util.Collections$SingletonMap

It's not clear to me why Drools creates Proxies for such classes as
java.util.Collections, or does MVEL do it?
