[rules-users] Fwd: Questions

Anybody? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Damien Renier All, I’m trying to prepare some answers to questions of a customer The client wish to execute some rules on dates which are not today. The rule is: 1. | rule "TooYoung" 2. | date-expires "26-MAR-2013" 3. | date-effective "19-MAR-2010" 4. | dialect "mvel" 5. | when 6. | Driver( age < "16" ) 7. | then 8. | Rejection fact0 = new Rejection(); 9. | fact0.setReason( "TooYoung" ); 10. | insert(fact0 ); 11. | System.out.println("TooYoung"); 12. | end First test with execution date set to today in Guvnor/test-scenario Rule is executed - OK Second test with execution date set to tomorrow Rule is executed – OK Now one change the rule’s attributes and execution date Execution date = 20-MAR-2011 date-effective = 19-MAR-2010 date-expires = 26-MAR-2011 no execution Execution date = 20-MAR-2012 date-effective = 19-MAR-2012 date-expires = 26-MAR-2013 no execution So my guess is the execution date is ignored. I tried to use the AgendaFilter unsuccessfully. ksession.fireAllRules(new AgendaFilter() { public boolean accept(Activation a) { System.out.println("-- " + a.getRule().getName()); return true; } }); But this code do not work for the specific rule above, others with no date attributes are going through and the sysout do its job. My question is: How can I tell the engine which rule to execute based on the execution date? Maybe this behaviour is only in Guvnor. Is it possible to set an execution date to the engine which is not today and how to do it? Thank you Damien
