[rules-users] Getter/Setter Methods for declared types
Hello,
At compile time, are the getter and setter methods automatically created for
a declared type. In the Drools Expert PDF it gives the following example:
declare Person
name : String
dateOfBirth : java.util.Date
address : Address
end
and it states that the following class is generated:
public class Person implements Serializable {
private String name;
private java.util.Date dateOfBirth;
private Address address;
// empty constructor
public Person() {...}
// constructor with all fields
public Person( String name, Date dateOfBirth, Address address ) {...}
// if keys are defined, constructor with keys
public Person( ...keys... ) {...}
*// getters and setters*
// equals/hashCode
// toString
}
Then the setter is referenced as follows:
rule "Using a declared Type"
when
$p : Person( name == "Bob" )
then
// Insert Mark, who is Bob's mate.
Person mark = new Person();
*mark.setName("Mark");*
insert( mark );
end
----
I tried the same with this simple declared type:
declare Foo
bar : int
end
rule "abc"
when
some condition
then
Foo e = new Foo();
* e.setBar = 2;*
insert (e);
end
But the compiler complains indicating that it "cannot be resolved or is not
a field".
Do I need to specify the getter/setters in my DRL file explicitly?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Regards
