Re: [rules-users] how do you select from a global List in decisiontable
A (single or joined) cell below CONDITION must contain something that
results in a valid pattern when
1. a pair of parentheses is appended
2. the constraint(s) resulting from the cells below are inserted into
these parentheses
Looking at "person: Person, op: Person from otherPersonList", you realize
that "person: Person, op: Person" is not a valid CE, not even if you omit
the comma Also, the cell cannot end with "from otherPersonList".
A constraint (2 rows down from CONDITION) is expanded with values from cells
below it by appending "==" and the cell value.
Apart from the basic design flaw Greg has pointed out: you can add a from
clause by using an additional column with "from otherPersonList" in the 3rd
row after RuleTable and an 'x' in each of the value cells.
You will also have to change the constraint "person.getRelationShip(op) ==
..." into an eval since this isn't correct constraint syntax.
-------------------------------
CONDITION
person: Person() op: Person
activity
PLAYING
-----------------------------
CONDITION
from otherPersonList
x
------------------------------
CONDITION
eval( "$param".equals( person.getRelationShip(op) ) )
FRIEND
-------------------------------
I suggest that you try and write your rules in DRL first before you start
thinking about decision tables. As you can see, certain conditions and CE
combinations cannot be expressed in tables. After all, a row of cells is
linear, but the syntaxl of LHS expression includes non-linear (recursive)
structures.

Here is a simple example where 'otherPersonList' is a global
java.util.List:
RuleTable Are friends having fun
CONDITION CONDITION ACTION
person: Person, op: Person from otherPersonList
person.getRelationShip(op) op.getActivity() System.out.println("$param");
FRIEND PLAYING Your friend is having fun
ENEMY WORKING Not your friend and not having fun
which produces the following drl output:
#From row number: 31
rule "Friends are having fun_31"
when
person: Person, op : Person from otherPersonList(person.getRelationShip(op)
== "FRIEND", op.getActivity() == "PLAYING")
then
System.out.println("Your friend is having fun ");
end
#From row number: 32
rule "Friends are having fun_32"
when
person: Person, op : Person from otherPersonList(person.getRelationShip(op)
== "ENEMY", op.getActivity() == "WORKING")
then
System.out.println("Not your friend and not having fun");
end
shouldn't the 'from' be after the statement like this:?
person: Person, op : Person(person.getRelationShip(op) == "ENEMY",
op.getActivity() == "WORKING") from otherPersonList
Thx

What, exactly, are you trying to do? "Pulling" from a list means what?
