Thank you!

So I changed the rule table to simply say: setAnswer("$param"); Which generates: then singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus.setAnswer("statusOnly");; Which causes the non-static method error since setAnswer is an instance method. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. _____ From: Hehl, Thomas Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 8:42 AM To: &#39;rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org <mailto:rules-users@lists.jboss.org> ' Subject: Newbie: using a spreadsheet I've been following the ExamplePricePolicy example and am attempting to build my own rules using a spreadsheet. In my spreadsheet rules, I have the following: ACTION singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus singleStatus.setAnswer("$param"); This throws: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved When I googled on this error, most of the occurrences appeared to be related to an import issue, but if I change the third line to: setAnswer("$param"); It blows up because it knows that setAnswer is not a static method, which tends to tell me that it found my class. I think I've parroted the example exactly and so I'm confused as to where to go with this issue.
