[rules-dev] Adding parameters to RulesTables

I added some logic to the decisiontables module to allow properties to be specified per RulesTable. This is done by declaring a RulesTableConfig tag followed by properties that should apply to the following RulesTable. I used this capability to allow declarations of code snippets that should be inserted before/after generated conditions and before/after the consequences on the right hand side. This allows me to create more complicated rule templates. For example, the declaration: ---- RuleTableConfig LhsPreamble ##LHS PREAMBLE LhsTrailer ##LHS TRAILER RhsPreamble ##RHS PREAMBLE RhsTrailer ##RHS TRAILER ---- produces the following DRL output: ---- package Testing_table_configuration; #generated from Decision Table #From row number: 14 rule "_14" when ##LHS PREAMBLE Abc(column == "123") ##LHS TRAILER then ##RHS PREAMBLE def.action; ##RHS TRAILER end ---- The patch which includes these changes (against 3.0.5 source bundle) is attached. I also added a test case spreadsheet to src/test/ resources/data which is not included in the patch but is attached to this email. For some reason I was unable to get the patch to apply cleanly from the command line but Eclipse took it just fine. Let me know if this is of interest and is a candidate for commit to SVN. If so, I can update the patch to apply against the trunk. Terry Laurenzo
