[rules-users] ClassCastException when firing rules

Edson,

Thanks for your reply. Reproducing the error looks difficult since it
happens only at times, but we will try. However, I noticed a bug reported in
your JIRA which also has reported a similar ClassCastException with a CGLIB
proxy. 
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1784
It says that the bug has been fixed in version 5.0 of Drools. But it does
not mention the environment in which it was tested, so can't be sure if it
is related to our case. 

Thanks,
Seema
