Re: [rules-dev] JIRA JBRULES-1290

Hi team, I am currently working on JIRA http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1290 (BRMS does not allow rule names to contain an apostrophe character ( ' )). The problem is caused by using rule name inputted by users as the name to add a node, see below (in PackageItem.java): Node rulesFolder = this.node.getNode( ASSET_FOLDER_NAME ); ruleNode = rulesFolder.addNode( assetName, AssetItem.RULE_NODE_TYPE_NAME); The javax.jcr.Node.addNode(String relPath, String primaryNodeTypeName) method will through RepositoryException if the relPath parameter contains apostrophe character ( ' ). Had a quick check with JSR-170, it is true that apostrophe character ( ' ) is not allowed in a path name. Section 4.6: char ::= nonspace | ' ' nonspace ::= (* Any Unicode character except: '/', ':', '[', ']', '*', ''', '"', '|' or any whitespace character *) There are two possible ways I can think of to have this fixed, none of them are ideal though. a. We valid the rule name inputted by users, the validation rule is in line with JSR-170. This approach is not ideal because a rule named "Jervis' rule" is perfect valid in my opinion. b. Somehow we transform the rule name to sth else if it is not a valid relative path according to JSR-170. This approach may require a data structure somewhere to store the original rule name and transformed relative path name. As I am pretty new to Drools, I am not sure how to best get this done. Any thoughts or suggestions are highly welcome.
