[rules-users] How to use global hashmap in drools

I am trying to use a global hashmap in drools but not sure how to create a global hashmap. I have a very simple function that counts the number of values passed hence I would need a global hash map to increment the count. The below function initializes the map every time the function is called, I want to store the values in map until all the data gets processed. function String getValue(String a, String b){ * Map<String, String> hashValue = new HashMap<String, String>(); * hashValue.put(a,b); return hashValue.size(); } -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/How-to-use-global-hashmap-in-drools-tp4...
