[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBRULES-2801) Entry-point defaults for type, rule, package

Entry-point defaults for type, rule, package -------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2801 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2801 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Wolfgang Laun Assignee: Edson Tirelli Implement the definition of the default entry point for an Event or Fact type via a metadata attribute, e.g.: declare X @role( event ) @entry-point( y ) end so that this a) declares the entry-point in the KnowledgeBase (the same way from entry-point "x" does) b) removes the need to use from entry-point with all patterns referring to X c) would still let me override the entry point with a "from entry-point" clause. The same attribute can be used inside a rule, where it is associated with all fact patterns without an explicit entry point. Here it also overrides an entry-point declared with the type's declare, if any. Since all rule attributes may also be used at package level (outside rules), this includes the new entry-point attribute. It will then be honoured in rules according to the current strategy for all other rule attributes.
