Re: [rules-users] Abstracting Rules using extends

Thanks Laune for your insight. 1. The idea of having RuleConstant in the workingMemory is that the constants are defined in a drl and is being inserted into the working memory by a high salience rule. This is to reduce the effort in actual application build and deployment rather just package the rules and place the PKG file. On a longer run the rules will be maintained by a different team who prefer working only in DRL's and not in java files . I did considering them to be access as Global variables but wheren't able to access in LHS. Hence reverted back to adding them in working memory. /declare RuleConstant COUPE : String = "C"; SEDAN : String = "S"; end/ 2. We did consider having the Vehicle object as fact but there were requirements that required us to move back and forth a list of vehicles, like if a vehicle is < 2011 and previous vehicle is > 1999 where vehicles are ordered by purchase date compute X = Y. Though the below example doesn't show case this scenario. ----- - Prashanth -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Abstracting-Rules-using-extends-tp40232...
