Re: [rules-users] Comparing 2 Lists [Planner]

Hello everyone! How can I compare 2 lists with a rule? I upgraded my basic model to a more complex one now, but now I hit a wall. My WorkOrder have a List of skills, and my Engineer also have a list of Skills and I have to compare one with another. Example: Engineer A have skill ABC 1 Engineer B have skill ABC 2 Engineer C have skill ABC 3 WorkOrder A needs an engineer with skill ABC 3 WorkOrder B needs an engineer with skill ABC 1 WorkOrder C needs an engineer with skill ABC 2 The result should be this: Engineer A will receive WorkOrder B Engineer B will receive WorkOrder C Engineer C will receive WorkOrder A --------------- I am able to sort it by time, but not by skill, and I don't know how to loop over each list to find if one have the skills needed to fulful the other. These are my classes involved: WorkOrder attributes: -------- private int requiredWorktime; private Priority priority;(enum) private Severity severity;(enum) private List<SkillWorkOrder> requiredSkills; -------- Engineer attributes: -------- private int worktime; private String name; private List<SkillEngineer> skillEngineerList; -------- Skill attributes: -------- private String name; -------- both SkillEngineer and SkillWorkOrder are classes that simple receives the named class and a Skill: Eg: private Engineer engineer; //Or WorkOrder private Skill skill; Is it possible to iterate over these 2 lists, by drool rule, to check wich engineer have most coincidences with an workorder? (Eg: if and Engineer have skill ABC1, ABC2 and a WorkOrder needs an engineer with skill ABC1, ABC2 and ABC3 he would be choseng among the others because his skills)
