Since Toni confirms me even before I post this on the list: Using the Verifier way to get at a column from some spreadsheet is not for the faint at heart. In addition to what Toni wrote: source code in the Drools AST corner isn't even commented.

If you take a look at the Verifier it goes through the Drools AST with a visitor pattern.
It starts by using getting the PackageDescr using DrlParser, this uses Drools internals so be warned that it might change in the future.

  Reader drlReader = new InputStreamReader( stream );
  PackageDescr descr = new DrlParser().parse( drlReader );

After that it goes through the PackageDescr using PackageDescrVisitor. RuleDescrVisitor shows how to get the condition part from each rule.

A condition does not have a "name", as you write; values of the cells
below a condition are (usually) literals.

There is no API for extracting parts of a spreadsheet. You can look at
the Drools source code (in the packages org.drools.decisiontable and
.../parser) and write whatever you need - it is not too difficult.
You can also look at drools-verifier, as that shows ho to analyse
resulting rule fragments.

Hi All, for suppose I have a DecisionTable like below

CONDITION               ACTION
-----------------------------
COND1                     ACTION1
COND2                     ACTION2
COND3                     ACTION3
-----------------------------

This is just a representation of the DecisionTable. So I need to retrieve
all the conditions and store them into a Collection like Set. Does Drools
provide any such feature.

We load the drools as below
PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
builder.addPackageFromDrl(new StringReader(drl)); //drl is the filepath of
decisiontable excel

// add the package to a rulebase (deploy the rule package).
RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
ruleBase.addPackage(builder.getPackage());

I tried to look into api of RuleBase, tried to get the packages, Rules,
Consequence, etc etc, but could not find any method, that gets me the
condition name.

When I tried to do
Package[] packages = rulebase.getPackages();

for(Package pack : packages){
System.out.println("Package Name is : "+pack.getName());
Rule[] rules = pack.getRules();
for(Rule rule : rules){
System.out.println("Rule name is : "+rule.getName());

All I get is some representation of each row, but I'm specifically looking
for the value of the first column (CONDITION) for each rule.

Please offer some guidance here.
