I realize that "drools" is a runtime variable, available only during rule execution, but the question still stands. Is it possible to somehow pass in rule attributes as arguments to Data loaders for enums?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Subject:        Guvnor - Loading enums programatically using rule metadata

---

The Guvnor manual specifies how to load enum data programtically but it seems like only other fields on the same Fact can be used to filter the values that can show up in the drop-down fields, as shown below:

'Fact.field[dependentField1, dependentField2]' : '(new com.yourco.DataHelper()).getListOfAges("@{dependentField1}", "@{dependentField2}")'

Is it possible to somehow use other rule attributes, like package name or rule metadata to filter the list? Something like the following:

'Fact.field[dependentField1]' : '(new com.yourco.DataHelper()).getListOfAges("@{dependentField1}", drools.getRule().getMetaData().get("ID"))'

Thanks
