Hello all

I am using Drools 4.0.3

I am using a .xml rule file in my application in which I am validating the user entered data through my rule file.

When I am not using <pattern /> tag in my rule file then it is working fine but when I use it ,the rules are not firing even it is not showing any exception also.

For your reference I am coping my rule file below :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<package xmlns="http://drools.org/drools-4.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="jbossrules" xs:schemaLocation="http://drools.org/drools-4.0 drools-4.0.xsd">

<import name="com.wipro.evalidator.response.bean.ResponseBean" />

<global identifier="response" type="com.wipro.evalidator.response.bean.ResponseBean" />

<import name="java.lang.*" />

<import name="com.wipro.airline.SearchBean" />

<rule name="rule1">

<rule-attribute name="agenda-group" value="AirlineApp" />

<rule-attribute name="activation-group" value="activation_1195126928297" />

<lhs>

<pattern identifier="searchbean" object-type="com.wipro.airline.SearchBean" />

<eval>true</eval>

</lhs>

<rhs>

System.out.println("date is not valid.");response.setStatus("failure");response.setSubStatus("date_notvalid");

</rhs>

</rule>

</package>

If <pattern /> tag is not allowed here then how can we use SearchBean fields in the lhs part of the rule.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards
