Hi All,

I am using the 4.0.M2 version of jboss rules.

public class Device() {

private Boolean isCiscoVersion;
private Boolean sysNamePresent;
private Boolean isPixVersion;

}

When I write the rule as follows :-

rule "Cisco PIX Device"

    when
        d : Device ( isCiscoVersion == null,
                     sysNamePresent == true,
                     isPixVersion == true )
    then
        System.out.println("This is a cisco pix device.");
       
end

The rule works. However, when I write the same rule as

rule "Cisco PIX Device"

    when
        d : Device ( isCiscoVersion == false,
                     sysNamePresent == true,
                     isPixVersion == true )
    then
        System.out.println("This is a cisco pix device.");
       
end

It even fails to compile and add the rule into the package. Not sure what is going on ?.

Following is the error I keep getting :-

Any ideas why this is happening ?.
