I'm not quite sure if I understand your question. Could you write out the rule(even pseudo-code if necessary), or the something as to try and clarify what you are trying doing?

Hello Again David / List,


I should have probably mentioned that I'm working with Drools 3, I'm not sure how or "if" this can be implemented in Drools 3 syntax. I've tried to search Drools 3 documentation and googled for this.

Currently I'm using contains with first finds the age groups then follows to find the matching Campaing but as I already know what campaign I'm checking and my intention is to check if this campaign can accept this age group I would like to reverese the search order...

Ideas are very welcome.



Happy new year everyone !

u almost had it. This should do it.

 
Subscriber($age : age)
Campaign($campaignAgeRangs : listOfAgeRangeCodes)
AgeRange(minAge <= $age, max >= $age, code memberOf $campaignAgeRangs)

As far as performance, i would think the former would be faster. This one will look at all campaigns regardless if they have an AgeRange that matches. The former just looks for an AgeRange, then joins back to the Campaign.

Thank you very much for the fast and accurate reply David,


Is it also possible to use the opposite positioning?, something like:

Subscriber($age : age)
Campaign($campaignAgeRangs : listOfAgeRangeCodes)
AgeRange(minAge <= $age, max >= $age, $campaignAgeRangs contains code)


Please don't try the above as this tries to create a field extractor for $campaignAgeRangs on the AgeRange object which fails for obvious reasons..

I would like to to filter first by Subscriber, then by Campaign and last by age range. This is obviously a simplification of the actual filtering rules.

Hello,


The dataModel is as following:

class AgeRange() {
Integer code;
int minAge;
int maxAge;
}

Campaign() {
List<Integer> listOfAgeRangeCodes;
}

Subscriber() {
int age;
}

AgeRange()'s and Campaign()'s are pre-populated into the WM.
Subscriber() is asserted right before fireAllRules is called.

I need a rule that would allow me to check if Subscriber() is within one of the defined on the Campaign() AgeRange()'s.

What would be the most efficient way to enforce this constraint?
The other possibility I see is to store the list of AgeRange()'s in each Campaign() and then use eval() to iterate over the list...


Advice and ideas are appreciated.


Thank you,
Maxim.
