I finally figured out my problem with the java.lang.String.
The class's property is defined as returning an Object. The values of
the property are actually Strings and Integers. When I list the fact,
it shows the value as an external_address to a String and the rule
doesn't match.
attribute <unordered> <Fact-2> <External-Address:java.lang.Class>
<External-Address:java.lang.String> "Sem_Gender"
<External-Address:sra.nlp.jdiscourse.TestClass>
<External-Address:sra.nlp.jdiscourse.Attribute>
If I define the property to return a String , then list the
fact, it shows up as a string, not an external address and the rule will
match.
attribute <unordered> <Fact-2> <External-Address:java.lang.Class> "TEST" "Sem_Gender"
<External-Address:sra.nlp.jdiscourse.TestClass>
<External-Address:sra.nlp.jdiscourse.Attribute>
