[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-2334) Cascading Drools Rules

Cascading Drools Rules ---------------------- Key: JBRULES-2334 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2334 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-guvnor Affects Versions: 5.0.1.FINAL Environment: Tomcat, Drools, Java, Oracle Reporter: Brian Do Assignee: Mark Proctor I have a business requirements to develop a lead score algorithm. The algorithm is a summation of various data fields. Each data field has different values, and each of that value represent a score. For example: Job Function = (CEO, President, CFO, Director, Manager) CEO = 30 President = 30 CFO = 30 Director = 20 Manager = 15 Time Frame = (Immediately, One Week, One Month, Not Sure) where Immediately = 30, One Week = 25, One Month = 20, Not Sure = 5 Department = (Sales, Support, Engineer) where Sales = 30, Support = 30, Engineer = 20 We need to determine the score of each value of each field and sum them up to get a final score. My question is is there an easy way to do this using Drools Guvnor. Is there a way to cascading rules? If we use rules, then it's gonna be something like this: rule1: if job_function = CEO then score = 30 rule2: if job_fuction = President the score = 30 rule3: if job_function = CFO then score = 30 ... rule#: if time_frame = Immediate then score = 30 ... rule#: if department = Sales then score = 30 The challenge is how do I keep track of the score of each rule in each scoring category and then sum them up at the end.
