Running drools in Databricks

I am trying to implement a PoC to run Drools on Azure Databricks using Scala language. I assume there is no equivalent python client for Drools. I am aware of other BRE python-based frameworks available which I already tested.

When trying to run a sample code in Scala notebook I keep getting the exception below.

I have imported all necessary Drools libraries.

Drools lib version: 7.1.17.0-Final

Databricks: 11.3 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.3.0, Scala 2.12)

Can somebody advise what I am doing wrong ?

Has anybody come across working example ?

I would appreciate any support.
