[rules-users] error resolving class name on imported class when loading package

[lhorton]

I am getting an error when the knowledge agent loads a pkg.  The rules source
file contains an import for a class:
     com.abclegal.domain.task.FileDocumentsWithCourtTask
and the RHS of a rule makes a cast using the class name without fully
qualifying it:
     ((FileDocumentsWithCourtTask)$step.getTask()).addDocument($doc);


I see the following error when the package is loaded by knowledge agent:

Error creating bean with name 'workflowKnowledgeAgent': Invocation of init
method failed; nested exception is [Error: unable to resolve method using
strict-mode: java.lang.Object.FileDocumentsWithCourtTask()]
[Near : {... ((FileDocumentsWithCourtTask)$st ....}]

note in the error that the FileDocumentsWithCourtTask is not being resolved
according to the import statement.  The really odd thing about this is that
it doesn't get the error all the time.  Sometimes the package is loaded
without error.

I can probably resolve this by fully-qualifying the class name within the
RHS, but you are not supposed to have to do that if you put the
fully-qualified name in the import of the rule.

Any clue why this error might happen?
