Unable to return Declaration for identifier
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-1065
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1065
             Project: JBoss Rules
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Drl Parser/Builder
    Affects Versions:  4.0.0.GA
         Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.6
            Reporter: Tong Lee
         Assigned To: Mark Proctor


I've read in the 4.0 features list where implicit binding for value expressions will be available in the 4.0 release.  I've downloaded 4.0GA and still getting the compiler error.  We have a need for the following and wondering if I'm misunderstanding the functionality:

Fact/bean object code:
public class Record {
private String abc;
private String xyz;
public String getAbc()...
public String getXyz()...
...
}

DRL code:
rule "..."
  when
    $record : Record ( abc == xyz)
  then
    ....
end

The PackageBuilder can not resolve the "xyz"

I understand we can define the Record alias and then reference xyz using the alias (see example below) but it would be asking too much for our business users.
rule "..."
  when
    r: Record ( )
    $record : Record ( abc == r.xyz)
  then
    ....
end

Any feedback with this is greatly appreciated!!!
