> Stacktrace:
> Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: ***** cannot be cast to ******
> 	at ConditionEvaluator443abf2927ca4f64a4ad86407ae34799.evaluate(Unknown Source)
> 	at org.drools.rule.constraint.MvelConstraint.evaluate(MvelConstraint.java:200)

> Reason:
> ConditionEvaluator seems to be using lazy initializing and then caches generated class to evaluate this expression with another arguments.
> Given following:
> interface A {
>    String getString();
> }
> interface B {
>    String getString();
> }
> class X implements B, A {}
> class Y implements A{}
> rule "test rule"
> when:
>      A(string != null)
> then:
> end
> When rule engine is called for the first time with instance of class X, ConditionEvaluator will bind itself to first found interface implementing method getString(), i.e. interface B.
> Thus second call with instance of class Y will cause ClassCastException of casting Y to B.
> Solution: force MVEL to bind bytecode generated methods to class/interface declared in the rule explicitly, in our case - to interface A.
> Quickfix: use following declaration of class X:
> class X implements A, B {}
> Because ConditionEvaluator binds to first available interface, it will bind now to correct interface - to interface A.
