Re: [rules-users] Using Advanced Enumeration Concepts in guvnor

The following sentences are taking directly from the user guide: / 'Person.age' : (new com.yourco.DataHelper()).getListOfAges() This assumes you have a class called "DataHelper" which has a method "getListOfAges()" which returns a List of strings (and is on the classpath). You can of course mix these "dynamic" enumerations with fixed lists. You could for example load from a database using JDBC. The data enumerations are loaded the first time you use the guided editor in a session./ Now, I would like to know how guvnor would connect to the database ? Inside the getListOfAges(), I want to hit the database and get the list of ages, put it inside a Map<String, List&lt;String>>. The example that is shown in the user guide is again hard coding the values. >From the user guide : /public class SampleDataSource2 { public Map<String>, List<String> loadData() { Map data = new HashMap(); List d = new ArrayList(); d.add("value1"); d.add("value2"); data.put("Fact.field", d); return data; } }/ AFAIK, the jar of this class SampleDataSource2 will be uploaded to guvnor, so should I keep the connection details to database inside the same class ? If yes, 1. How will guvnor be able to directly connect to the database ? 2. Should I add the jars for database connectivity as well ? 3. Is keeping the connection details inside the jar, not a security threat ? I am not sure if I understand completely how this enumeration works, please feel free to guide me, if I am wrong somewhere.
