As an update: I tried several things to remedy this problem. I tried adding the 
classloader to the JPA classes to the RuleBaseConfiguration but that had no 
effect. After much code digging, debugging and research I decided to 
setShadowProxy(false) on the RuleBaseConfiguration and low-and-behold things 
worked. No sure why Drools can't create the proxies for the JPA classes. I will 
save that for the next rainy day.

Subject: [rules-users] Drools and OpenJPA


Greetings all,

I am trying to use Drools 4.0.7 with objects that are retrieved via OpenJPA. So 
I have a Person entity which is in the package com.my.company.entity. When I 
retrieve it via OpenJPA what I get, and subsequently insert into working 
memory, is a 
org.apache.openjpa.enhance.com$my$company$entity$Person$pcsubclass. I have 
tried casting before inserting into working memory but that does not change 
things. Drools is throwing java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/openjpa/enhance/com$my$company$entity$Person$pcsubclass exception. 

Any ideas of how to get around this? I really don't want to have to declare the 
concrete (OpenJPA) classes in my rules if I can help it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Earnie!
