[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-2787) Accept hexadecimal values in rule LHS

Uli Bubenheimer commented on JBRULES-2787:
------------------------------------------
Making the hex value a return value restriction (parenthesized expression) seems an easy
workaround:
Value ( tag == (0x00080060) )
Accept hexadecimal values in rule LHS
-------------------------------------
Key: JBRULES-2787
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2787
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: drools-compiler (expert), drools-docs-expert, drools-eclipse
(expert), drools-guvnor
Affects Versions: 5.1.1.FINAL
Reporter: Uli Bubenheimer
Assignee: Mark Proctor
It is not possible to use a hexadecimal value in the LHS of a rule.
The manual says: "All standard Java numeric primitives are supported." As
hexadecimal values are standard Java numeric primitives, this could be considered not just
a new feature, but a bug (documentation bug at least).
I found this issue first mentioned in the referenced user forum post from 2006; sadly,
the poster did not create a JIRA issue as suggested, or at least I could not find one.
Example:
rule "bla"
when
Value( tag == 0x00080060 ) // ERROR!
then
//something
end
