Try using eval as a last resort. A better (smaller, more robust) DSL can be designed around facts and their attributes.

"||" (and "OR") can be used, but setting parentheses in order to get the priority right is difficult. In constraints, you may have to resort to "memberof" or "not memberof".

Your sample isn't self-contained. But I think that the following DSL and the DSLR might give you some ideas how to proceed.

[keyword][]check that {conditions}= eval( {conditions} )
[keyword][]AND = &&
[keyword][]OR  = ||

[when][][Tt]here is an? {entity}= {entity}: {entity}()
[when][][Tt]here is at least one {entity}= exists {entity}: {entity}()

[when][]the {entity:\w+}'s {attr:\w+} = {entity}.get{attr}()

[when][]- with a valid {attr} = {attr}: {attr} != null
[when][]- with {attr} not equal to {value} = {attr} != {value}
[when][]- eval\( {whatever} \)=eval( {whatever} )

[when][] {attr:\S+} follows pattern {pattern:\S+} =  {attr}.matches( {pattern} )
[when][] {attr:\S+} not equals? {value:\S+} = ! {attr}.equals( {value} )
[when][] {attr:\S+} is valid  =  {attr} != null
 
rule "Rule 5"
when
    There is a Department
    There is at least one Person
    - with name not equal to "xxx"
    - with a valid subordinate
    - check that the Person's Id is valid AND the Department's Id follows pattern "I" AND the Department's HeadOfDpt not equal name
then
end

Notice that "-check that..." must be written as a single line.

Hi,

 

 We are planning to use DSL/DSRL approach with generic DSL template like say

[condition][]The {object} has valid {field}={object}({field} != null )

[condition][]there is object {obj} that = {obj}()

[condition][]- has {attr} equal {val} = {attr} == {val}

[condition][]- has valid {attr} = {attr} != null

[condition][]- and has {attr} equal {value}= && {attr} == {value}

 

But there are quite few of requirements like to have DSL rules that can generate expression as follows:

exists Employee(
   attribute name not equals "xxx"
   && the attribute subOrdinate is not null
   && eval(
   the attribute $dept.getId() is not null  
   && attribute $dept.getId() follows pattern "I"
   && ( ! (the attribute $dept.getHeadOfDpt() equals name)
   )
)

 

I am not sure if this is possible with DSL. Using '-' operator we cannot really add '&&', '||' conditions it by-default expands to ',' separated and conditions. And wirtting generic rules with and/or is not really dynamic to allow any number of expressions in evaluation.

 

i am struggling to get this run since long time so any help/thoughts on this would be  highly appriciable !!!

 

Thanks & Regards,
