[rules-users] Issue while comparing BigDecimal and Long(only while using references)

[sumatheja]

Hi,
   I cam to know that we can compare BigDecimal, Long, Integer
interchangeably in the LHS of rule like

*when
    Message(Decimalstatus == Longstatus)*

I found that this rule will fire as long as both Decimalstatus and
Longstatus Values are same. But when I try to use this feature in the below
mentioned way

*when
    Message($dec:Decimalstatus)
    Message(longstatus == $dec)*

This rule doesn't fire even though I have two Message object which satisfy
the condition.However, when I try
*
when
    Message($dec:Decimalstatus)
    Message(longstatus == $dec.longValue())*

 It fires properly. Is this an issue or am I missing anything? Any
suggestions for better approach are welcome.Thanks in advance.
