Yes, that is correct. If the underlying class interface changed, java will raise CCE. Rulebase must be recompiled in that case.

Thanks Dean, we have removed the AOP implementation to check if that is the
source of the problem.

Edson, Is there any chance for a ClassCastException if the fact classes in
the application were changed, but the fact model classes that are part of
the compiled rule package were not updated to the most recent version? But
then it would cause exceptions consistently, right? In our case, the
exceptions are thrown occasionally only.

Thanks,
Seema
