   Yes, but in that case you need to tell drools where to find the class... i.e., add an import for it:

import your.package.SomeClass

declare SomeClass
    @role( event )
end

   If it does not work, let me know plz. Since it is new feature, there may still be some corners to polish.

Hi,

Should it be possible to declare an event role to an existing type that is outside of the current rule package?

Example:
In the following file:
http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/JBossRules/trunk/drools-compiler/src/test/resources/org/drools/integrationtests/test_EntryPoint.drl?r=19705

change the first line to:
package org.droolsssssss; //this makes sure that StockTick is in different package

now, the test org.drools.integrationtests.StreamsTest.testEventAssertion() throws following exception:

org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: unable to resolve Type Declaration class 'StockTick'
