In your Action column you should have:

ACTION
<blank>
singleStatus.setAnswer("$param");

OK, here's my rules table:

RuleTable Court
CONDITION	CONDITION	ACTION
singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus	singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus	singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus
statusType	value	singleStatus.setAnswer("$param");

And this generates a rule that looks like this, for example:

     then singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus.setAnswer("statusOnly");;

This generates an error b/c it doesn't know how to resolve SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus.setAnswer, which is where the error below is coming from.

So I changed the rule table to simply say:

setAnswer("$param");

Which generates:

      then

            singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus.setAnswer("statusOnly");;

Which causes the non-static method error since setAnswer is an instance method.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

Subject: Newbie: using a spreadsheet

I've been following the ExamplePricePolicy example and am attempting to build my own rules using a spreadsheet.

In my spreadsheet rules, I have the following:

ACTION

singleStatus: SingleParticipantStatus

singleStatus.setAnswer("$param");

This throws:

org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved

Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved

Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved

Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved

Rule Compilation error SingleParticipantStatus.singleStatus cannot be resolved

When I googled on this error, most of the occurrences appeared to be related to an import issue, but if I change the third line to:

setAnswer("$param");

It blows up because it knows that setAnswer is not a static method, which tends to tell me that it found my class.

I think I've parroted the example exactly and so I'm confused as to where to go with this issue.

Thanks!
