Please follow Thomas' advice. <br><br>That now.time worked in 5.1.1 was actually an "accident", as it contradicted the specs. I'm not sure whether this behaviour is going to be reinstated. <br><br>If you do need to do the comparison on long (milliseconds since the epoch) values you'd have to do<br>
subObject.dateField.time >= (now.getTime())<br>which works in 5.1.1, 5.2.0 and 5.3.0.so.far. (Being able to omit the parentheses was promised for 5.2.0; hopefully we'll have it in 5.3.0.)<br><br>-W<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Wolfgang,<br>
<br>
Thank you for answering, here is the rule rewritten but closer to reality:<br>
<br>
// package<br>
<br>
// imports<br>
<div class="im"><br>
global java.util.Date now;<br>
<br>
</div>rule "MyRule"<br>
salience 5<br>
when<br>
// Prevent rule activation for other offer types.<br>
MyObject(type == Type.TYPE_SOUGHT)<br>
<br>
$candidate : Candidate(<br>
subObject.dateField != null && subObject.dateField.time >=<br>
now.time)<br>
then<br>
// do something<br>
end<br>
<br>
A value for 'now' being set like so:<br>
session.setGlobal("now", new Date()); // Date being the java.util.Date.<br>
<br>
But I do not think that matters because 'compilation' fails at this point.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your time.<br>
