[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBRULES-1194) Extending data enumerations to DSLs in guided rule editor

Extending data enumerations to DSLs in guided rule editor --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1194 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1194 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: drools-brms Affects Versions: 4.0.1 Reporter: Shahad Ahmed Assigned To: Mark Proctor Would it be possible to extend the data enumeration functionality in the BRMS version 4.0.1 to work with domain specific language (DSL) sentences in the guided editor? At present the data enumerations work with simple data fields only (JIRA JBRULES-1090). However, I think the combination of defining rules with a DSL and being able to provide a drop-down list of choices for parameters in a DSL sentence would provide a very business friendly front end for non-technical business users, especially in scenario in which business users want to be able to tweak parameters in existing rules rather than define rules themselves. The kind of thing I'm thinking of can be illustrated with a DSL like the following: [condition][]There is a Customer=c: Customer() [condition][]- who is {value} value=value == "{value}" Suppose you create the following "when" condition, where [ ] represents the text box the guided editor creates to enter a value for the {value} placeholder: There is a Customer - who is [ ] value I'd like to be able to specify a set of values for the [ ] drop down list. For example, the possible "values" could be one of the following ['High','Medium','Low']. Syntactically this might be done in some modified from of DSL definition. For example, borrowing from the existing data enumeration syntax, it might look something like the following: [condition][]- who is {value: ['High','Medium','Low']} value=value == "{value}" The above modification would also not tie the data enumeration to an object attribute. For example, the DSL may define a consequence that is not related to an object: [consequence][] Report the status as {status} =System.out.println("The status is {status}"); Here we would like a drop down list for the {status} placeholder to be "Good" or "Bad" (i.e. the literal is a not an object attribute value).
