Drools 4 is tried and tested. Only the error message is not clear for the uninitiated.

   The error message means that the Lexer found the end of the file without finding a close character for a given token. In your case, looking more carefully, a String:

settle_selection("test",20001","W");

    Drools 5 is in Milestone 5 now. Not recommended for production, but stable enough for early adopters.

Thanks for your answer, but I get the same with 'end'

 

Is the current release of drools 5 a stable one? I used 4 because I assumed it would be 'tried and tested'

 

Thanks,

Alex

   Lower case: 'end'.

   It seems this is a Drools 4 parser error message. In Drools 5 we have much better error messages and they are documented.

Hi all,

 

I'm just starting to use drools, I am using it to house the rules regarding settlement of sports markets and such my rule packages should be relatively simple and straight forward (ie when match winner = x then settle x as winner)

 

However my first attempt to create a drl is failing with the following error

 

org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: [0,-1]: unknown:0:-1 mismatched token: [@-1,0:0='<no text>',<-1>,0:-1]; expecting type END

 

and I cant find much documentation online to help solve it.

 

The complete drl file is:

 

package xxx..rules.tennis

 

import xxx.object.Fact

import java.util.HashMap

import function xxx.Settle_Selection.settle_selection

 

 

rule "Player 1 wins match"

        salience 100

        agenda-group "tennis"

        when

                $f : Fact()

                eval(($f.details["END_MATCH"].toUpper().toString().equal("TRUE")))

        then

                settle_selection("test",20001","W");

END
 
 
 
Thanks in advance,
Alex
