[rules-users] Drools Guvnor: DSL with multiple fact fields conditions using "-" and eval

[Wolfgang Laun]

It seems that the initial hyphen merges the DSL definition's right hand side
into the parenthesis of the last preceding term, even if that one is an
eval, which itself is meant to go into some preceding pattern.

You could work around that by making all evals Conditional Elements rather
than Inline Eval Constraints. The disadvantage is that you'll have to use
full object qualification, e.g.,

[when]where name is empty=eval(StringUtils.isBlank( asset.getName() )

I think that your variant

   [when]-name empty=name=="''"

has to be written without the apostrophes:

   [when]-name empty=name==""

-W
