You could externalise the paths for the annotations:-<br><br>MyConfigurationSettings( $jimPath : pathToJimAnnotations )<br>jim : Annotation( name = $jimPath )<br><br>(where MyConfigurationSettings is a fact inserted into WM).<br>
<br>or<br><br>MyConfigurationSettings( $jimPath : pathToJimAnnotations ) from $globalServiceObject.getMeMySettings( )<br>
jim : Annotation( name = $jimPath )<br>
<br>(where MyConfigurationSettings is available from a - perhaps - Hibernate query).<br>
<br>I am surprised "Person" was provided as an option (without knowing the auto-complete code in any detail). Perhaps it is a class on your classpath?<br><br>With kind regards,<br><br>Mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a remark, maybe its just out of scope... however as it is in the<br>
perspective of enabling end users to deal with their business domain,<br>
leaving appart the technical aspects (which is one of strong points of<br>
Drools), here it is.<br>
<br>
Drools is great because it enables to express things simply. For<br>
instance, in my company, we are annotating text. So our rules look like:<br>
when<br>
jim: Annotation (name = "/Person/Jim")<br>
boston: Annotation (name = "/City/Boston")<br>
...<br>
However, in the end, it turns out that what is inside Strings is part as<br>
well of our business domain. Maybe it is probably stored into a database<br>
or whatever.<br>
<br>
So, in my dreams (and, surprisingly, so said the customer I saw<br>
yesterday and that didn't know anything about Drools!!), when I<br>
Ctrl-space at the beginning of the String (after "/P), the rule<br>
authoring environment suggests "/Person", juste because it knows,<br>
somehow, that annotations can be one of those (maybe in absolute, or in<br>
that particular context).<br>
<br>
Would you say that I completely lost my mind? :-) Or more prosaically<br>
that there is a design flaw in my data model?<br>
Personnally I have the impression to be somewhere in the middle...<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Bruno.<br>
