             Summary: String comparison fails when using the "==" comparator
                 Key: JBRULES-3584
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3584

          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: drools-compiler
    Affects Versions: 5.2.0.Final
         Environment: Win 7 / Red Hat Linux, Java 6, Netbeans
            Reporter: Lisa Horton

String comparison using the == operator fails in some cases.  "Fails" means the comparison should match but does not.  Changing the condition to use equals() operator causes a successful match.  I have observed this in both decision tables and in drl rules.  I will attach a test case that reproduces the bug.  There are workarounds to avoid the bug - the test case demonstrates 3 of them.
