As a general comment, the examples for which I find Drools failing are
not the actual examples for which my application is failing. It's just
the smallest test case I was able to eliminate.
I'm now a bit concerned about your comment that Maps and Collections
aren't well-defined as Facts. I am planning to make extensive use of
them (that's also why I'd prefer to use the MVEL dialect, because in
Java I cannot do this without creating Bean wrappers.)
Could you elaborate what makes the semantics not "well-defined".
I'm specifically concerned with immutable maps (such as the one that
would have been returned by Collections.singletonMap), and with
collections of maps (such as those obtained via a "from"..." clause).
I need to insert immutable maps as facts; I understand that the items
returned by "from" aren't inserted as facts.
