<p dir="ltr">From what I gather you're saying if the XLS contains no definitions, I.e. only keywords, Drools is generating a single empty rule. </p>

I have an xls file with the appropriate header lines to make the xls a Drools<br>
Decision Table that I provide to my users. I validate the content/data they<br>
enter, but do allow it to be "blank", that is, no user data, just the Drools<br>
Decision Table key words, conditions, actions, etc.<br>
<br>
When using the stateful knowledge session built using the Drools Decision<br>
Table, I insert an object implementing AgendaEventListener and override the<br>
afterActivationEvent method to record on the object which row was hit. I<br>
found that it is saying it hit the first row in the Drools Decision Table<br>
after the header information. But that corresponds to a blank line, since<br>
the table is blank. It seems to have generated a blank drl rule behind the<br>
scenes with no conditions (so it always succeeds) and no actions. Since I<br>
have logic based on whether or not a rule was successfully selected, this<br>
selection of a non-existent rule breaks my code.<br>
<br>
The user won't really be using a blank spreadsheet, but I need to cover the<br>
situation. The validation is pretty set in stone right now so I don't want<br>
to force the user to have some data.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest an easy way to stop it from matching the blank line?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
