[rules-users] Calling a rule within a rule

Hi All, I am new to Drools and I need a help. Is it possible to call a rule within a rule. i.e., only when rule1 condition is true , my rule2 should execute rule1 when a!=null then ... rule2 when a.toString() !="" then ... Though i can write both the conditions in the same rule, its not a feasible solution as my business rules are much complicated. I am expecting to write something like this.. rule1 when a!=null then when a.toString() !="" then ... end end But this is not working out. It would be great if someone can help me out.. Also I understood that variables cannot be declared in guvnor.. Is this true..? If true then what is an alternative. Kindly help me Regards, Dinesh -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Calling-a-rule-within...
