[rules-users] how to declare an identifier and use it?
Hi,
Requirement:
i have a function which will return a value. Say for example String
getInfo().
In header level, i have a tag called as TType. possible values in this tag
are Online/offline.
In line level, i have a validation which should be executed based on TType.
if i get TType = online, line level validation has to be executed.
if i get TType = offline, then line level validation has to be skipped. No
validation should happen.
Solution:
I have to call getInfo() function in linelevel <java:condition> so that it
will return me the TType value.
based on TType, validation will happen / can be skipped.
Issue:
As i am declaring given below.
<rule name="12_Line_Validation">
<parameter identifier="THeader">
<java:class>THeaderType</java:class>
</parameter>
<parameter identifier="TReqLine">
<java:class>TLineType</java:class>
</parameter>
<java:condition>
getQType(TReqHeader) != null
|| !getInfo(TReqHeader).equals("Online")
</java:condition>
<java:condition>
getOffType(TReqLine).equals("Local")
</java:condition>
As show above, i am having two java conditions.
1. it will verify whether TType is online / offline.
2. it will verify whether offtype is Local or not
when i test with valid data, it never perform above validations. it just
skip both the validations irrespective whether TType is online/ offline.
Suggestion:
Can anyone let me know what might be the issue?
1. Is it that i am having both header and line program calls in one rule?
2. is it that i cannot use header value in line level validation?
work around:
is there any work around as given below
can i declare a variable/identifier in line and invoke the method and have
the return value in the declared identifier?
<parameter identifier="TType">
<java:method>getInfo(TReqHeader)</java:method>
</parameter>
so that i can use this TType within the line <java:condition>.
Please verify and suggest possible way to fix this issue.
let me know if you need any other info.
