[rules-users] Date equal comparison fails - don't understand why

[Saloojee, Karim]

Hi

I am comparing SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened == "5-Feb-2011") 
where dateAccountOpened is "Sat Feb 05 00:00:00 GMT+02:00 2011" (if you
call toString()). The equal comparator fails (==) but the greater than
comparator passes (>) which I don't understand.

I feel I am missing something obvious here, but I have no idea what it
is.


rule "Test date equality"
        when
                $acc : SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened == "5-Feb-2011")

        then
                System.out.println("Expected and found an account opened
on 5-Feb-2011: " + $acc);
end

rule "Some dates are more equal than others"
        when
                $acc : SimpleAccount( dateAccountOpened > "5-Feb-2011")

        then
                System.out.println("Unexpected match: " +
$acc.getDateAccountOpened());
end

Regards,
Karim
