[rules-users] Drools basic questions.

hi all, I am new to Drools, so i have some basic questions. I am sorry if my questions sound silly. Please help. 1. What does it mean when you prefix a variable with a dollar sign in a .drl file? If possible give a simple example please. 2. Please explain the following line of code: - Person( likes : favouriteCheese ) This is my understanding of the above code. - 'favouriteCheese' is a global variable which we are assingining to 'likes' and an object of type 'Person' is created by seding 'likes' as a paramerter to the constructor. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Drools-basic-questions.-tf3770127.html#a10659146 Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
