Re: [rules-users] How to use a result of custom defined function in WHEN part?

Hi, [offtopic] Thanks for quick response! It is always nice when project has an active and friendly community. This is a sign of healthy project itself :) [/offtopic] My function was returning a collection.

It seems that I made an error in import of the function. I had some debug, info, etc static methods in the class and they were imported with import function ...* and it worked, so I expected that adding public static createCountMap(...) into the same class will solve it too, but somehow I needed to declare it explicitly. Also, having the same code in Drools file in function declaration is not working when I use java 5 syntax, so I just rewrote it with java 1.4 syntax and it works fine too. If there is such a restriction, then it for sure missed in official documentation http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.1.1.34858.FINAL/drools-expert/ht... . So, that were all my problems were :). Thanks again for response! I also can see another approach for solving the problem in the thread, so I will play with it too - it looks interesting for me. Thinking in the declarative drools like style requires some brain restructuring. It is like moving from imperative to functional programming. And speaking of functional approach - It reminds me about Scala and question here is: Can Scala be used as one of the dialects in the future? Are there any plans or thinkings or wishes in the "wish-list" for it? :} -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/How-to-use-a-result-o...
