[rules-users] Trying to compare variables of two objects, not working. (compiles, but not desired result)

[Wolfgang Laun]

5.3.0 and 5.4.0.Beta2: Comparing int and Integer fails unless the
traditional (up to 5.1.1) "return value" construct - parentheses
around the expression - is used:

 lineItemId == ($lineItem.getID())  // OK
 lineItemId == ($id)   // OK with $id bound as LineItem( $id: ID > 0 )

This would work if ID were public:
 lineItemId == ($lineItem.ID)

It's best to stay as close as possible to the Java Beans conventions.

Using an upper case initial in field names wasn't accepted by the
Drools compiler prior to 5.3.0.
