Re: [rules-users] How to reuse a result of a rule in an other rule
The latter approach is particularly powerful we have a very simple but amazingly flexible
class called Affirmation which just have 3 fields - String name, Object subject, Object
value. This however gives most flexibility that you need
Eg
rule "Hungry"
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch>2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
not Affirmation(name == "PersonIsHungry", subject == $person)
then
insert(new Affirmation("PersonIsHungry", $person, true);
end
rule "Food"
when
$person : Person()
Affirmation(name == "PersonIsHungry", subject == $person, value == true)
not Affirmation(name == "PersonHasLookedForFood", subject == $person)
then
modify($person) {
lookForFood()
}
insert(new Affirmation("PersonHasLookedForFood", $person));
end
- I;ve also updated the rules so they are less likely to retrigger multiple times if some
other rules modify person

Basically, you can either update an object with the results of the first rule, or
create a new object.
Like:
rule "Hungry"
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch>2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
then
$person.setHungry(true);
update($person);
end
rule "Food"
when
$person : Person(hungry==true)
then
$person.lookForFood()
end
or
rule "Hungry"
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch>2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
then
$hungry=new Hungry();
$hungry.setPerson($person);
insert($hungry);
end
rule "Food"
when
$person : Person()
$hungry : Hungry(person==$person)
then
$person.lookForFood()
end
