If the "donator" isn't a fact, it's not visible to the engine.
Globals are OK on the RHS and as a provider for constant (!) data used as stand-in for literals on the LHS. Other than this: beware!

I thought use of the "from" keyword allowed you to reason over facts (potentially) not in WM. I believe the OP's example is mentioned in the docs?

Globals cannot to be used - directly or indirectly - as objects that should trigger
the firing of rules. It is only insert, modify or update, and retract that cause (re-)evaluation of LHS conditions.

I read docs about global and Hibernate to access your DB from the rules.
I tried something simular for in memory DAO's.
But some rules fire ("WM" in RHS) as the DAO has 3 items, but others ("dao"
in LHS) don't, how is that possible?
global RepositoryFactory repFact;
rule "dao"
when
k : Customer( ) from repFact.getCustomerRepository().findAll();
then
System.out.println( "Drools "+drools.getRule().getName()+": "
+k.getName());
end
rule "WM"
when
k : Customer( ) ;
then
System.out.println( "Drools "+drools.getRule().getName()+": "
+k.getName()+" + size: "+repFact.getCustomerRepository().findAll().size());
end
...
RepositoryFactory repFact = Registry.getRepositoryFactory();
ksession.setGlobal("repFact", repFact);
...
CustomerRepository customerRepo = Registry.getRepositoryFactory()
.getCustomerRepository();
customerRepo.add(tom);
customerRepo.add(elise);
customerRepo.add(bert);
ksession.insert(bert);
ksession.fireAllRules();
...
Output:
Drools WM: Bert + size: 3
