I have at least figured out what was going on with my
decision table.
I kept comparing what I was doing with the policy pricing
example included with drools and trying to figure out what I was doing
different. Because of the syntax of the rules I was getting back, it occurred
to me that the issue might be that I was never referencing my recipient object
as part of the condition.
I added a property to my BooleanAnswer object so it now
looks like:
public class BooleanAnswer {
private boolean answer;
private int index = 2;
/**
* no-arg constructor
*/
public BooleanAnswer(){
}
/**
* create your own default answer
* @param answer the answer to set
*/
public BooleanAnswer(boolean answer){
setAnswer(answer);
}
/**
* @return the answer
*/
public boolean isTrue() {
return answer;
}
/**
* @param answer the answer to set
*/
public void setAnswer(boolean answer) {
this.answer = answer;
}
/**
* @return the index
*/
public int getIndex() {
return index;
}
/**
* @param index the index to set
*/
public void setIndex(int index) {
this.index = index;
}
I then modified my Decision table so it looks like:
|
|
|
|
|
CONDITION |
ACTION |
|
|
answer: BooleanAnswer |
|
|
|
index |
answer.setAnswer($param); |
|
|
index |
Allowed |
|
|
2 |
TRUE |
|
|
TRUE |
||
This built the proper rule and works fine.
It appears that drools is not set up to store values in an
object that was not referenced in the condition. Is this true? If so, it seems
this should be a request for future enhancement.
If not, then how do I do this without referencing my
recipient object in the condition.
Thanks!
