Perfect!   This is exactly what I needed - for me the key was understanding
that CodesList must extend java.util.ArrayList object... it all fell into
place from there...   Thanks very much Michael for all your help - here's my
sample rule definition which I've successfully tested in a test harness:

rule "This rule works!" 
no-loop
        when 
            $MILT_CUSTNO : LookupListDOM ( name == "MILT_CUSTNO" )  // extends
ArrayList
            $MILT_SHPRNO : LookupListDOM ( name == "MILT_SHPRNO" )  // extends
ArrayList
                $gateIN : GATE_IN( 
                                CUSTOMER_REFERENCE_NUMBER matches "^HX.*", 
                                        ACTIVITY_LOCATION matches "^US.*",
                                        $sh_code : SH_CODE, 
                                        $fo_code : FO_CODE,
                                    ( ( $MILT_CUSTNO.contains($sh_code) ) || (
$MILT_SHPRNO.contains($fo_code)  ) )
                                  )
        then
                System.out.println("Matched Customer Rule!  About to inovke 
Service...");
                //myService.sendNotification($event, Constants.CUSTOMER_MATCH);
end


Thanks again for helping me resolve this important issue.

Regards,
James
