[rules-users] Composition of Fact Templates
I'm trying to make some fact templates in the form of
template "Address"
String line1
String line2
end
template "Person"
String name
int age
Address address
end
It complains that it is "Unable to resolve class "Address""
1. Is there any way around this - am I just getting syntax wrong?
2. Is this being fixed in 5.0 or > 4.0.7 (which I have)
3. Am I able to modify the class loader to grab the FactTemplate
class types and infer the correct object? e.g. is this something
that's ridiculously hard, and so hasn't already been included?
4. Am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
1. Are nested types at all useful in the rules?
2. Is it possible to even have a rule like:
p: Person( age == 5, Address(line1 == "My address))
? (given a java object schema)
3. Should I be using variables and other rules to assert facts?
4. Off topic: Is rules composition achieved by the assertion of
facts for other rules to use?
What I want to do:
I am dealing with (xml) schemas and ontologies, and need to be able to
create Fact Templates from these definitions. While I can do this
easily enough in java side, I believe I need to create the templates to
match my java objects so that the rules can be compiled.
Thanks heaps
