It's just like a Java static method. Call JAva code if you don't want to put it all into DRL function, or import from Java in the first place. Both "import" and "function" can be used in spreadsheets.<br>

<div></div>I don't want to confuse you, but have you considered <i>not
</i>using templates at all? If you can generate N rules from N objects
containing different literals for matching a fact or for updating a fact
field, then you can achieve the same thing with a single rule <i>and
additional facts containing those literal values.</i><br><br>rule "one 4
all"<br>when<br>Â Â Service( $name: name, $value: value
)<br>Â Â $sb: ServiceBean( name == $name, value == $value
)<br>then<br>Â Â # RiskType ... is what?<br>Â Â
...$value..., ...$sb.getType()...
