Yes, but in that case you need to tell drools where to find the class... i.e., add an import for it: import your.package.SomeClass declare SomeClass @role( event ) end If it does not work, let me know plz. Since it is new feature, there may still be some corners to polish.

Hi Edson, Thanks for the quick reply. In the example I've mentioned there is already such import: import org.drools.StockTick; BTW, it is a unit test you've written :) I've also tried the fully qualified class name but it throws following exception (this was tested with 5.0.0M2): java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(AbstractRuleBase.java:420) at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.addPackage(ReteooRuleBase.java:381) at com.dds.adjudication.service.DroolsTestHelper.createRuleBase(DroolsTestHelper.java:119) at com.dds.adjudication.service.DroolsTestHelper.getEligibilityRuleBase(DroolsTestHelper.java:81) at com.dds.adjudication.service.DroolsEligibilityIntegrationTest.setUp(DroolsEligibilityIntegrationTest.java:32) at org.jmock.integration.junit3.VerifyingTestCase.runBare(VerifyingTestCase.java:36) at junit.framework.TestResult$1.protect(TestResult.java:106) at junit.framework.TestResult.runProtected(TestResult.java:124) at junit.framework.TestResult.run(TestResult.java:109) at junit.framework.TestCase.run(TestCase.java:120) at junit.framework.TestSuite.runTest(TestSuite.java:230) at junit.framework.TestSuite.run(TestSuite.java:225) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.junit3.JUnit3TestReference.run(JUnit3TestReference.java:130) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:460) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:673) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:386) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:196) Best Regards, Michal On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 2:20 AM, Edson Tirelli <tirelli(a)post.com&gt; wrote: > > Oh, forgot to mention, if you don't want the import, you can also fully > qualify the class: > > declare your.package.SomeClass > @role( event ) > end > > []s > Edson > > 2008/10/6 Edson Tirelli <tirelli(a)post.com&gt; > > >> Yes, but in that case you need to tell drools where to find the >> class... i.e., add an import for it: >> >> import your.package.SomeClass >> >> declare SomeClass >> @role( event ) >> end >> >> If it does not work, let me know plz.
