[rules-users] Initialize Global

[Anstis, Michael (M.)]

Do you want a true "global" variable or a "fact" available to all rules?

Either way, you could have a rule to set it up...

Rule "init-global"
	When
	Then
		myGlobal.doSomethingToInitialiseIt();
End

Rule "init-fact"
	When
	$f : MyFact()
	Then
		$f.doSomethingToInitialiseIt();
End

How do I initialize a global fact in the drl file?  I want use the JSR94 API
and avoid using the Drools API inside the Java code.  I would like to access
the same variable every execution of a stateful session without having to
reinstantiate the variable after each execution?

Basically I want to define a global like this:
# Define global variable
global List objectList ;

# Part that does not work
objectList = new ArrayList() ;
objectList.add("1");
objectList.add("2"); 


Thanks
