[rules-users] Use of function in Drools Test Scenario

[Moe Alkhafaji]

This means that it cannot find your method. To be able to call a method from within a rule you will need to import the respective class that has the method and then use an instance to reference that method with (or just the method without an instance if it is static and you did static import). Think like a typical java program where you cannot call a method unless you define the scope or instance to call it with.
