please support containment test for map keys
--------------------------------------------
Key: JBRULES-1457
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1457
Project: JBoss Drools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Components: Drl Parser/Builder
Affects Versions: 4.0.4
Environment: any
Reporter: Godmar Back
Using MVEL as the language for clauses, there is no way to test whether a map's key contain a value.
For instance:
rule "number 1"
when
e : S(map.keySet() contains "x")
then
System.out.println("rule number 1");
end
leads to a syntax error because Drool's parser does not allow function calls ("keySet())" in clauses.
On the other hand, MVEL (according to Mike Brocks, please read http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-53 ) does not provide an operator to test containment in a map's set (or values). He said he's considering adding a shortcut such as .keys and .values in 2.0 and recommended I open a Drools JIRA issue.
Please provide a way to test for membership in a map's key and value set.
