[rules-users] LHS Dao Calls / Accessing Diff instances of same class in drl files

Hello everybody,
 
I still have 2 of my questions pending and i would really appreciate if
somebody could get back to me and help me out.
 
1.Calling dao in LHS when the method calls does not return collection
and returns lets say a boolean .. Code is attached below for a quick
look.

rule "Item should have a valid status"

when

ItemVo( statusCode : itemStatusCode != null)

ItemVo( statusCode == true ) from
itemValidationDao.isValidItemStatus(statusCode)

then

System.out.println("Item Status Code is valid");

end

Caused by: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: unknown:32:28 Unexpected
token 'itemValidationDao'

isValidItemStatus ()  method returns a boolean and i need to check if
thats true than go to the RHS side ....  somehow it does not recognize
itemValidationDao in LHS side .. RHS same call works ..  Can anybody
suggest how to call database in LHS .. 

2.If I have a method with the signature 

public ValidationErrorMap validateItemOrdEffDateMaintain(ItemVo oldItem,
ItemVo newItem, ValidationErrorMap errors, UserVo user){ } 
Is there a way that i can assert two objects of same type in my working
memory ?? Like oldItem and newItem are same ItemVo's and they have
exactly same fields .. How do i assert two same type objects so that i
can deal with them in drl differently .. I have one ItemMaintVo which
can give me oldItem and newItem and i can only assert ItemMaintVo but
again how do i refer to two same type objects .. Here is the syntax ..
 
rule "Item status cannot be null"

when

oldItemMaint : ItemMaintWorkVo(oldItem : currentItem)

newItemMaint : ItemMaintWorkVo(newItem : newItem)

// I need to reach to the ItemVo (from old and new item) .. how do i do
it here ?

then

System.out.println( "Item Status Code is "  + old or new item .
getItemStatuscode()  );

end

 
This does not seem to work .. whats the way to operate on two different
instances of same class in DRL files ...

  Sanjay,

  You almost got it right. If you are using 3.1M1 or later, you can do:

item : ItemVo ( itemStatusCode == ItemVo.STATUS_ACTIVE | ==
ItemVo.STATUS_DELETE )

   field connective constraints use a single "|" or "&".

	While this is working
	
	when
	        item : ItemVo(itemStatusCode == ItemVo.STATUS_INACTIVE)
or
	ItemVo(itemStatusCode == ItemVo.STATUS_DELETE)
	
	Is this the right way of doing it ?
	
	thanks

	Thanks Rahul 
	Yes i was setting it in working memory thats why it was working
in RHS
	.....
	
	workingMemory.setGlobal("itemValidationDao", itemValidationDao);
	and then in the DRL
	global com.walmart.itemfile.item.dao.ItemValidationDao 
	itemValidationDao;
	
	I think i am missing something very basic ..
	
	thanks

	Did you set the global in the WorkingMemory?
	
	You can do that using the API at
	
	
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrules/freezone/do

	cs/3.0.5/apidocs/index.html
	and yes that is for 3.0.5. I am sure there is an
	equivalent for the version that you are using.
