Hi All,

Is there a way to retrieve an object array from a Class getter in the when clause of a rule in a drl file ?  I have tried a lot of things but they did not work out.  The Problem is detailed below :-

The following class has a private parameter Column1 which is an Object type array.

public class EightColumnGenericClass {

                  private Object[] Column1;

                  /** Getters and Setters */

                  public Object[] getColumn1() {

                        return Column1;

                  }

                  public void setColumn1(Object[] column1) {

                        Column1 = column1;

                  }

}

Following is the method where I am creating the knowledgebase and utilizing it.  I am reading a file record and splitting the columns. The columns[] array gets saved into the attribute of the class defined above.

      public static void fnReadFromFile(String FilePath, String FileName){

                  /* Declarations and other code */        

while ((str = brReadFromFile.readLine())!=null){

                        Columns = str.split(",");

                        ecgcPLC = new EightColumnGenericClass();

                        ecgcPLC.setColumn1(Columns);             

                  ksession.insert(ecgcPLC);                

                  }

                  ksession.fireAllRules();

}

I have to try and retrieve each cell of the Columns[] array in the entire collection and apply rules on individual cell.   My drl file is given below.

rule "SourceSystemId = value"

    when

            c: EightColumnGenericClass()

            Object[] columns: c.getColumn1();  

            for (Object o : columns)

            {

                  System.out.println(o.toString()); 

# The condition I want here is - if (o.toString()==”1794”)             

            }

    then

        #RHS Code

end

Is there a way to achieve this?  Or is there something missing with my DRL file?  Please assist.

Thanks in Advance,

Amal
