RE: [rules-users] Inserting Collection into WorkingMemory

Correct me if I misunderstand:- (1) You have a list of Strings accessible using a generic "businessData" property. (2) Nestled within the list *you happen to know* one of the values represents a SSN and another the loan amount. (3) You expect Drools to read your mind and workout how to determine the meaning of individual items in the list. You can check whether the "businessData" contains a value using the "contains" operator. Whether the value is however a SSN or a loan amount is anyones guess as demonstrated below. If you don't have discrete accessors for individual businessData items then I believe a map is your best option. Rule "read my mind" When $p : ProcessRequest(businessData contains "1234") Then System.println("ProcessRequest contains '1234' however I have no idea whether it is a SSN or loan amount"); End With kind regards, Mike -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of VinuJay Sent: 11 June 2009 07:39 To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: Re: [rules-users] Inserting Collection into WorkingMemory Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply. My problem is i don't have any input values for businessdata, i need to evaluate only on the key (name) of business data. Like if SSN == 1234 && LoanAmount > 50000 assign to jcooper So List<String,String> businessData in my Fact object would not be useful. I need the values for the business data to be picked up from the rules file (.drl) itself. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Inserting-Collection-into-WorkingMemory-tp23975474 p23976147.html Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
