In Decision Table actions, cannot reference variables that were not referenced in LHS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1155 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1155 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Decision tables Affects Versions: 4.0.1 Environment: Windows Reporter: Thomas Hehl Assigned To: Mark Proctor Priority: Minor If I use a decision table to build rules for my application, there doesn't appear to be a way to store an answer on a variable that wasn't referenced in the LHS of the rule. This is because the reference to the object that must be built can only be defined in the LHS. I would like to be able to directly reference these "catcher" objects from the action to store the result even if they were not needed as part of the LHS. -- 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

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1155?page=comments#action_12375553 ] Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-1155: --------------------------------------- I'm not entirely sure what you mean, if you show us in normal drl we can maybe answer better. But to access an Object or its field, there must be a variable binding.

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1155?page=comments#action_12375567 ] Michael Neale commented on JBRULES-1155: ---------------------------------------- you have to have a variable in a rule to reference it. Each row is a rule, so if you have a rule that is missing a variable declaration on the LHS, there is no way that can work or make sense. If you use globals, you can access the global value to store results - I think that is what you want.

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1155?page=comments#action_12376628 ] Thomas Hehl commented on JBRULES-1155: -------------------------------------- The way I thought it would work would be to simply allow for the binding on the RHS just like on the LHS. It seems to me that you should be able to do the same exact thing on the RHS.

How can the consequence bind to some data matched on the LHS? how does it know which pattern or which field?

Must admit I don't understand what you are trying to do there. Anyway if all you are trying to do is assign the results of a function/method call then why not just use an = assignment? BooleanAnswer = anAnswer(anAnswer.setAnswer(true)); Any valid java can used.
