[rules-users] Accessing a property of an Enum (LHS)

[Gras, Patrick]

Hi,

I'm trying to access to a property of an Enum but I get the following error:

Unable to create restriction '[QualifiedIndentifierRestr: == Direction.S.name ]' for field 'directionAsString' in the rule 'enum test'

Here is the code for my Enum:

public enum Direction {

	N("North"), S("South"), E("East"), W("West");

	private  final String name;

	private Direction(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return this.name;
	}
}

And here is my Rule:

rule "enum test"
	when
		$to : TestObject($ds: directionAsString == Direction.S.name);
	then
		System.err.println("OK");
end


Is there a reason why I cannot do that ?

Thanks for your help
-Patrick
