You could look at using your own custom operator.
Wolfgang Laun linked to an article of his recently explaining the approach.
I'm not sure if custom operators however allow for indexing in the RETE
network and therefore whether they're any faster than eval.
Wolfgang, Edson, can you advise in your experience?
Thanks,
Mike

We have a requirement to display data as stored (with the right casing) but
for evaluation purposes strings should be compared case in-sensitive. We
have several hundred rules touching these particular strings and would
really like to avoid doing eval( x != null && x.equalsIngoreCase(y) )
everywhere. Is there anywhere in drools that we could configure to make
string matching case in-sensitive?
Since we have to display the data with casing elsewhere, putting
x.toLowerCase() in all our getter methods doesn't seem to be an option.
