[rules-users] Global variables not retaining changes.

[Justin King]

Some extra information. The global is of type Integer. Now if I understand
correctly, using "+" on an Integer object is the same as "integer = new
Integer(integer.getValue() + 1)". It seems calling new on a global  inside
the rule file causes the problem, because if I define my own integer wrapper
class with a simple set method and use this instead, the problem goes away.
Anyone have any suggestions???
