The reason that I feel that this is AT LEAST a documentation bug is that I believe that I've coded my answer exactly as the ExamplePricingPolicy is coded, but it produces invalid rules. Can someone please confirm that I'm doing this right or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Doesn't anyone on this list use decision tables and have some counsel? Thanks. _____ From: Hehl, Thomas Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 1:23 PM To: 'Rules Users List' Subject: RE: [rules-users] FW: Decision Tables Got that. How do I code the action so it calls the setAnswer() method on my BooleanAnswer object? _____ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Mark Proctor Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 12:59 PM To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] FW: Decision Tables This isn't bug, you aren't using drools correctly. Only valid java can be used in an Action. anAnswer:BooleanAnswer is not valid java and shows up in your generated code: anAnswer: BooleanAnswer.anAnswer.setAnswer(true);; Hehl, Thomas wrote: The problem appears to be that the rule being generated is just flat wrong. I'm starting to think this is a bug in decision tables for 4.0 GA. The following entry: ACTION anAnswer: BooleanAnswer anAnswer.setAnswer($param); Allowed TRUE TRUE Generates this rule: rule "postponePart_10" when PoolInfo(courtLocation == "101", statusCode >= 0, statusCode <= 2, numberFta < 1, numberOfDeferralsPosted < 2, daysBeforeSummons>= 1, daysBeforeSummons<= 1) then anAnswer: BooleanAnswer.anAnswer.setAnswer(true);; end This doesn't seem right at all. What I'm trying to do is to call the setAnswer method on the object I passed in with: StatelessSession session = participantRuleBase.newStatelessSession(); //now create some test data PoolInfo pool = part.getActivePool(); BooleanAnswer answer = new BooleanAnswer(); Object[] rules = new Object[]{pool, answer}; session.execute(rules); return answer.isTrue(); Advice?

Everything else appears to be working. My rules result in a simple True/False condition. To do this in a decision table, I've created a class called BooleanAnswer that looks like: public class BooleanAnswer { private boolean answer; /** * no-arg constructor */ public BooleanAnswer(){ } /** * create your own default answer * @param answer the answer to set */ public BooleanAnswer(boolean answer){ setAnswer(answer); } /** * @return the answer */ public boolean isTrue() { return answer; } /** * @param answer the answer to set */ public void setAnswer(boolean answer) { this.answer = answer; } } Then I create a decision table with the following ACTION in it: ACTION answer: BooleanAnswer answer.setAnswer($param); Allowed TRUE This generates the following errors: ...
