Did this ever get answered? I have never been able to use a function. I always get mvel compile errors. Consider this: ---- package systeminsights.plugin.core.schedule dialect "mvel" function String f() { return "function"; } rule "Invoke function" when eval(true) then System.out.println("*** f=" f()) end ---- With strict mvel: [Error: Failed to compile: 1 compilation error(s): - (1,3) unable to resolve method using strict-mode: java.lang.Object.f()] [Near : {...
