Uli Bubenheimer commented on JBRULES-2787:
------------------------------------------

Making the hex value a return value restriction (parenthesized expression) seems an easy workaround:

Value ( tag == (0x00080060) )

> It is not possible to use a hexadecimal value in the LHS of a rule.
> The manual says: "All standard Java numeric primitives are supported." As hexadecimal values are standard Java numeric primitives, this could be considered not just a new feature, but a bug (documentation bug at least).
> I found this issue first mentioned in the referenced user forum post from 2006; sadly, the poster did not create a JIRA issue as suggested, or at least I could not find one.
> Example:
> rule "bla"
> when
> Value( tag == 0x00080060 )     // ERROR!
> then
> //something
> end
