[rules-users] About String..."==" same as ".equals"?

[Joel G. Rivera-González]

i have to be doing something wrong...but it make no sense...
a MegaTransferObject is asserted.

case1: No rules fired.
rule "dtv_discount_request"
    when
        MegaTransferObject(other_AccountType == null) or 
        MegaTransferObject(other_AccountType == Constants.PHONE_TYPE_RESIDENTIAL)
        MegaTransferObject(other_HasDtvDiscountRequest == false)
    then
        menu.add(new String[]{Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_TREE_MENU_DSL, Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_MENU_DTV_DISCOUNT_REQUEST});
end

case 2: no rule fired.

rule "dtv_discount_request"

    when

        MegaTransferObject(other_AccountType == null) or 

        MegaTransferObject(other_AccountType == "RMS")

        MegaTransferObject(other_HasDtvDiscountRequest == false)

    then

        menu.add(new
String[]{Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_TREE_MENU_DSL,
Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_MENU_DTV_DISCOUNT_REQUEST});

end

case 3: rule fired
 
rule "dtv_discount_request"


    when


        megaTO:MegaTransferObject(other_AccountType == "RMS")


        megaTO:MegaTransferObject(other_HasDtvDiscountRequest == false)


    then


        menu.add(new
String[]{Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_TREE_MENU_DSL,
Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_MENU_DTV_DISCOUNT_REQUEST});


end

   Joel,

   This is the correct syntax and it works (at least we didn't get a 
report for it not working yet):

Object(variable == Constants.value)

   Can you please elaborate about the problem you are having in order 
for us to help solving it? If it is a bug we need to fix.

   Thank you,
      Edson
