My advice is to try just having a single column:
strValue matches "$param.*"
you could also compare the performance of that to
eval(strValue.startsWith("$param"))
Also presumably you are only wanting the first matching rule in your table to fire,
looking at the table below drools will fire all of the matching rules, this will mean than
any phone number with prefix 5511 will be charged at 0.4 as that will be the last rule to
fire.

No problem. I'm not sure how you'd do this in a decision table (it's probably
pretty trivial) but in DRL you'd do:
rule "makePhoneNumber"
when
s: String()
then
insert(new PhoneNumber(s));
retract(s);
end
With two caveats:
1) you need some conditions on the String matched if there are other Strings that
don't make PhoneNumbers.
2) The rule could use a salience value higher than the pricing rules, but that isn't
necessary.
Actually, there's a third caveat, and it's a big one: this won't work with
sequential mode. This is because the rule above would alter working memory with the
expectation that the pricing rules would react to the change. If you want to use
sequential mode you'll have to convert to PhoneNumber objects before hand. I
understand that you're using this Jbilling package, but is there no way you can put an
intermediate adapter between the two? It'd be as simple as inserting "new
PhoneNumber(someString)" instead of "someString".

Dear Greg,
Thanks very much for your reply.
I'm using sequential mode = true
Is there a way to create this PhoneNumber class, and convert the String to the PhoneNumber
object inside the Drools? Because I'm using a system called JBilling and it send the
phoneNumber as a String.
Sorry if those are basic questions, but I'm a newbie in Drools...
Thank you very much,
Antonio Anderson Souza

Right off the bat I'd say try to get rid of the eval usage. Can you put the phone
number into an object like this:
class PhoneNumber {
private char digit0;
private char digit1;
///...same for the rest of the digits
public char getDigit0() { return digit0; }
public char getDigit1() { return digit1; }
}
Then the conditions would look like this:
digit0 == '$param'
Behind the scenes hopefully this will optimize better. The use of eval won't optimize
well.
Are you using sequential mode? This might be a good candidate for that if setting the
price does not trigger any other rules to fire.

Dear All,
I'm deploying a JBilling using Drools in a Telecom Carrier in Brazil, and I'm
using Decision tables in xls files to execute the pricing, my pricing table has about
40.000 rules, and I'm getting a terrible performance about 1.5 minute to execute the
price of each CDR (Call Detail Record) mediated.
Follow bellow a small piece of my decision table:

Is it normal? Are there somebody using Jbilling in a similar way? Does anybody can help
me?
