CLONE -No access to context in a constraint
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-2171
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2171
             Project: JBoss Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0.M5
            Reporter: Neil Wallace
            Assignee: Kris Verlaenen
             Fix For: 5.0.1.FINAL

Say I have a class Job with a method isFinished() that returns boolean. Also in a process context, I have a variable "job" of the type "Job". In a constraint on a split node, the following happens:

a) When the constraint is in mvel dialect, the code "((Job)job).finished" is correct.
b) When the constraint is in Java dialect, the code "Job j = (Job)(context.getVariable("job"));" gets me the following compilation error:

Process Compilation error : org.drools.lang.descr.ProcessDescr at 48f675
	[omitted] (27:1248) : context cannot be resolved

The documentation of this is quite clear: "Code constraints are expressions that return a boolean value. They have access to the context variable. MVEL code constraints also have direct access to the variables."

Therefore I think this is a bug.
