So in essence, there's no way to use a function to insert a string literal into a rule from a template?

But then that would call the service.getType() method when the rule is
run wouldn't it?
-> Yes

I'm trying create explicit, simple rules to avoid doing extra work when
running data through them.
-> OK, in essence, I like that :-)

How would you use a rule to set the value within another rule?
-> I am not sure that I follow you here...
If you want to avoid to execute the getType()-service at rule execution, then you would need to add an attribute name to your object, and call getType() before creating the rules.

Alternatively, you can insert an intermediate value whose value will be set by another rule and then use this intermediate value in your DC rules.

When
Service(value = "AAA")
Then
String name = "Type1";
insert(name);

Something like this... but make sure not to create a loop :-)

Hi,

The way I see it, this is the way your template should look like. I do
not see the need to use eval() at all.

rule "DC_0"
when
$service: Service(name == "@{service}", value == "@{value}")
$riskType: RiskType()
then
$riskType.setName($service.getType("@{value}"));
$riskType.setAtt(0,"@{value}");
end

I am assuming that RiskType is already inserted in WM, but you could
just as well create a new object in the then-part of the rule.

In stead of using the java-function to determine the name, you might
actually just as well create an other rule that sets the name according
to the value, thus putting the entire decision logic in rules.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Frank

Hi,

I'm trying to get a template (.drt) to generate 2 rules (.drl)
from 2 datasets but by doing a little bit more work than direct
substitution.

Data (service,value):
DC, AAA
DC, XYZ

Idea for the template - if value is of type1 then create Type
object with 'Type1' as name. If value is of type2, use 'Type2' as name:

rule "DC_@{row.rowNumber}"
when
Service(name == "DC")
then
Type.setName(eval(Service.getType(@{value})))
Type.setAtt(0,@{value})
end template

eval(Service.getType(@{arg0})) should take 'AAA' or 'XYZ' etc as
arg and return a string Type1/Type2 etc.

This would then generate 2 rules that look like:

rule "DC_0"
when
Service(name == "DC", value == "AAA")
then
RiskType.setName("Type1")
RiskType.setAtt(0,"AAA")

rule "DC_1"
when
Service(name == "DC", value == "XYZ")
then
RiskType.setName("Type2")
RiskType.setAtt(0,"XYZ")

...is this possible at all? I'm trying to avoid the eval step
being done in the actual rule (.drl) .

Thanks

Chris
