Hi Sudhir,

I haven't used dates in Drools the way that you are; however, I have used dates elsewhere in drools DRL files.  It is my understanding that the default date format is "dd-MMM-yyyy".  You can change that format to include times by setting a system property called "drools.dateformat".  An example is below:

System.setProperty("drools.dateformat", "dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm");
