[rules-users] newbie, Expressing a rule in different ways
Can you please explain why the second form of the same (as it seems to me)
rule does not work?
This works:
rule "takeTwo"
when
$c : CD713AType(
Body.incrementalUpdateOfEconomicOperators.traderAuthorisation.size !=
0 )
$t : TraderAuthorisationType ( $t.OperatorRole.size == 0) from
$c.Body.incrementalUpdateOfEconomicOperators.traderAuthorisation
then
stdout(drools.getRule().getName()+"
"+$c.getHeader().getMessageIdentifier());
end
and this fails to compile:
rule "take3"
when
$c : CD713AType( $i : this.Body.incrementalUpdateOfEconomicOperators )
$t : TraderAuthorisationType ( $t.OperatorRole.size !=0 ) from
$i.traderAuthorisation
then
stdout(drools.getRule().getName()+"
"+$c.getHeader().getMessageIdentifier());
end
with the message:
Unable to build expression for 'from' : Failed to compile: 1 compilation
error(s):
- (1,22) unqualified type in strict mode for: traderAuthorisation
'$i.traderAuthorisation' : [Rule name='take3']
Pretty new to Drools and try to figure out how things work.
In the second form of the rule I am trying to use the $i variable as a
shortcut for the "Body.incrementalUpdateOfEconomicOperators" locator.
"stdout" is just a function that print to System.out
Thank you for your time,
