[rules-users] How to compare java.sql.Dates in a Drools 'when'

Hi there, Sorry for so many questions today. How would one compare dates in a Drools when/then rule? I have an object, Tool, that has a last used field which is a java.sql.Date (yes, this is a fairly bad type for it to be. Long story.). I want to write a rule to check if there is a Tool that has this date set in the future. Now, to get the current date/time (in Java!) you would do: java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date(); java.sql.Date sqlToday = new java.sql.Date(today.getTime()); But how do I do something like this in a Drools rule?! (Where I want to compare last used to sqlToday). Thanks, Stephen -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
