Help with my understanding
by John.Dubchak＠wellsfargo.com
Hi,
We are using Jboss-rules 3.0.5 and I have written a simple rule:
rule "Valid Format"
when
$status : RuleResult()
$id : Identifier()
eval ($id.getValue() != null)
eval (!$id.getValue().matches("^([0-9]{9})$"))
then
$status.addErrorMessage("Identifier does not match
required format");
end
In my unit test, I create an instance of the Identifier object and do
not set the Value, therefore it is null by default. I have an earlier
rule that checks for this null value and places an error message in the
result object appropriately. I would expect this error to fail and not
see this error message in the result, but instead see the missing value
error message. The problem is that I see both.
It appears as though the eval null check is failing. Am I
misunderstanding how this rule should work?
Any insight and/or answers are really appreciated.
Thanks,
John
