[rules-users] decision table problem Reg:

hi, i'm facing a problem with decision tables. i've got a .drl working file. but when i happen to take that into a .xls file ( decision table ) it throws some errors. my actual rule in .drl file has got something like this. when $event : RouteEvent( nodeIp == "192.168.1.12 ) $varbind : Varbind ( oid == ".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.0" && value == "5" ) from $event.varbindings then System.out.println("some text") here in my decision table, my first cell would have the first condition $event : RouteEvent nodeIp == "$param" that is, i've to omit my "(" and ")" braces. so now, my second condition is $varbind : Varbind ( oid == "$1" && value == "$2" ) from $event.varbindings here i don't know how to omit the "(" and ")" braces. or should i add and other layer of those braces. anyway, the decision table is not working, where as my rule file does. the error message is error java.lang.RuntimeException: [10,55]: [ERR 102] Line 10:55 mismatched input 'FROM' expecting ')' in rule "210.210.122.100 GroupA" in pattern Varbind[10,77]: [ERR 102] Line 10:77 mismatched input ')' expecting 'then' in rule "210.210.122.100 GroupA" my doubt is, in the first case all my condition expression is contained with in braces. where as in second case, it's not. so how do i've to handle this. do i've have to omit the braces in the second case or not. please help me. i've been struggling to solve this error. also, i couldn't find references in the documentation. thanks in advace. _ _ _ _ |. | | ||_|| (_||| \/ Whoever wants to be happy, let him be so: of tomorrow there's no knowing Get your world in your inbox!
