Re: [rules-users] [rule-users] rule comparison

Edson, am getting the following output [ b, a ] [ a, b ] only the order of the output is different. so if i check a equal to b according to the cross product law the then part execute 2 times? thats y i check the reference in the then part. how to use eval to variable comparison of objects in a single line Thanks and regs, Basha ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Message: 3 Date: Sat, 19 May 2007 09:53:29 -0300 From: "Edson Tirelli" <tirelli(a)post.com&gt; Subject: Re: [rules-users] [rule-users]how to create object properties in single stmnt To: "Rules Users List" <rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Message-ID: <e6dd5ba30705190553p1f5f794ct91ad250fb1ad3753(a)mail.gmail.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sikkandar, In 3.0.6, if you have 2 strings in the working memory ("a" and "b" ) and you write: rule "cross product" when $s1: String() $s2: String() then System.out.println("[ "+$s1+", "+$s2+" ]"); end The result MUST be: [ a, b ] [ b, a ] If it is not that, then we have a bug, but our integration tests that test this specific situation are working fine. Plz let us know if it is different for you. In 4.0, the result must be: [ a, b ] [ b, a ] [ a, a ] [ b, b ] So a fact (by default) may match multiple simultaneous patterns. Regarding your second question, comparing properties of the same object is also something we added for 4.0. In 3.0.x you need eval() too.
