[rules-users] Drools 5.5.0.Final : Rule Trigger Issue

Hi, I am new to Rules and having following issues in different rules. Rule 1 : Issue I have a process definition in which I create and insert into Session a REQUEST.java object before the rule-flow node. Insert is done using script node. In rule condition section I am filtering the same request object but my rule is not firing. My rule FIRES if I REMOVE this == $process.getVariable("piRequest"). rule "Go to President" ruleflow-group "DesigSkip" dialect "java" when $process: WorkflowProcessInstance() $r: Request(this == $process.getVariable("piRequest"), VD == "N", UB == "N", CC not in ( "A", "B") , DP not in ( "X", "Y", "Z") ); then $process.setVariable("piToPres","y"); end Rule 2 : I am getting error for eval statement. globa Request $r; rule "Go to President" ruleflow-group "DesigSkip" dialect "java" when $process: WorkflowProcessInstance($request:getVariable("piRequest")) $r : $request $r(eval(ADV == "N")) then System.out.println("--------------------*******************--------IN GUIDED RULE--------**********************---------------"); $process.setVariable("piToPres","y"); end globa Request $r; rule "Go to President" ruleflow-group "DesigSkip" dialect "java" when $process: WorkflowProcessInstance($request:getVariable("piRequest")) $r : $request eval($r.getADV() == "N") then System.out.println("--------------------*******************--------IN GUIDED RULE--------**********************---------------"); $process.setVariable("piToPres","y"); end Zahid Ahmed Senior Software Engineer | Emirates Group IT P.O.
