[rules-users] Dates in an XLS decision table

I'm new to Drools and trying to figure out how to build a condition around a date. Using DRL, it might look something like this: rule "Simple percentage with incentive date X" when $i : LineItem( status == LineItem.PROCESSING, $amount : amount, $orderDate : orderDate ) then Date $incentiveDate = new GregorianCalendar(2012, 0, 1).getTime(); Date $incentiveDate2 = new GregorianCalendar(2013, 0, 1).getTime(); if ( $orderDate.before( $incentiveDate ) ) .... else if ( $orderDate.before( $incentiveDate2 ) ) ...etc. I can't figure out how to do this in a spreadsheet, however. For the condition I have the two lines below the "CONDITION" cell as: LineItem orderDate.before( $param ) with the various dates as rows down in the data section. When I run this, I get an exception of that "unable to resolve method using strict-mode: java.util.Date.before(java.lang.Double)" How do I specify dates in the data field to get around this? -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Dates-in-an-XLS-decision-table-tp402154...
