[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBRULES-305) Provide a "not matches" field constraint

Provide a "not matches" field constraint ---------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-305 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-305 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Reteoo Affects Versions: 3.0.1 Environment: N/A Reporter: Andy Gerweck Assigned To: Mark Proctor JBoss Rules really should have a "not matches" regular expression operator to complement "matches". There's currently no language construct to directly support something like this: rule when Email(from matches "me@.*", to !matches "you@.*) then doSomething(); end It's possible to do this using a predicate expression, but JBoss just carried an article (rightly) condemning Java in rules! We already have negations of all the other operators (!=/==, </>=, contains/excludes).
