[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-2409) Quotes should not be escaped when parsing a decision table

Quotes should not be escaped when parsing a decision table ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2409 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2409 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: drools-decisiontables Affects Versions: 5.0.1.FINAL Environment: jdk 1.6 update 12 windows XP Reporter: Jos Hendriks Assignee: Michael Anstis Labels: decision, drl, escaping, generated, quotes, table Fix For: 5.3.0.CR1 Since drools 5 quotes that are in an action cell of a decision table are escaped. As we are using method calls with String parameters in our action cells this results in invalid drl. I've reproduced the issue in the example decision table project generated by the eclipse plugin. After generating a new Drools project with decision table example I added the following to the Message class: public String getMessage(String dummy) { return this.message; } In the decision table I change cell E9 from 'm.setMessage("$param");update(m);' to 'm.setMessage($param);update(m);' and cell E11 from 'Goodbye cruel world' to 'm.getMessage("msg")'. When I use Drools 5 I get escaped double-quotes which causes an error in com.sample.DecisionTableTest.readKnowledgeBase: m.setMessage(m.getMessage(\"msg\"));update(m); Version 4.0.7 did not escape quotes and correctly generated the drl: m.setMessage(m.getMessage("msg"));update(m); I found out that escaping of quoted has been added by request, JBRULES-1811. Please reconsider the decision and or implementation made to solve that issue. Possibly add a keyword to the decision table to define the way qoutes are parsed? Like Sequential for salience.... The forum entry I have made includes the files and full drl. Please contact me if you need more information or help.
