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 ------------------------------ *From:* rules-dev-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto: rules-dev-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org] *On Behalf Of *Edson Tirelli *Sent:* 23 February 2009 13:24 *To:* Rules Dev List *Subject:* Re: [rules-dev] org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: [0,-1] 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. []s Edson 2009/2/23 Zevenbergen, Alex <azevenbergen(a)paddypower.com&gt; 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 ________________________________________________________________________ Privileged, confidential and/or copyright information may be contained in this communication.
