Ronald, Special characters in the rule names are replaced by '_' as a class will be created with that name. So yes, the given names will generate conflicts. I'm not sure we can do much about it, as transparently generating unique names may cause silent unexpected problems. For now, my recommendation would be for you to use a valid character to differentiate rule names (like prefixing them with numbers or letters, etc). If you or anyone have any better idea on how to handle such situations, just suggest and we can analyze the viability of implementing it. []s Edson 2007/5/24, Ronald R.

Geoffrey, that is actually a nice Idea... :) Will look at implementing it.

Unless I never looked at the name except in the source code, I don't see the much point in having two names that can be distinguished (due to hashcode inclusion) but have been semantically disconnected from the source code rules. If an error occurs in one of those rules, how will you know which one the message refers to? How will you make sense out of the log? It makes more sense to me to replace non-alphanumeric characters with alphanumerics as Ron's team member proposed.
