[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBRULES-969) To be able to access globals within functions

To be able to access globals within functions --------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-969 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-969 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: All Environment: Drools version 3.0.6, Using Eclipse IDE and simple DRL file working with Global variables Reporter: Natraj Gudla Assigned To: Mark Proctor Hello, I am using Drools 3.0.6. While using a global variable in a function, the compiler complains it cannot resolve the global variable name. Something like below global com.sample.ExampleLogger customLogger; function void logMessage(String msg){ customLogger.logMessage("Log Message from the function"); } In the above code, it complains "customLogger cannot be resolved". I am able to refer the global in the consequence of a rule directly. What is the problem using the reference within a function. On the other hand, i am able to do something like function void logMessage(ExampleLogger custLogger,String msg){ custLogger.logMessage(msg+" Accept gloabal as function parameter"); } and call from the consequence of a rule : logMessage(customLogger); // I am passing the global to the function as an argument and then use it to log a message. This way is working. But not the first way of using the global in the function. It would be a good feature to have the globals accessible within functions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
