What about FactType.getFactClass()? Should avoid all issues.
Admittedly, in order to get the FactType, you'll have to start with a
package name and the declared type name as strings, but these ought to
be identlical to what you have in your DRL. But the Class is the
Class.
But I think OP's problem is solved...
