I'm fairly new to Drools so there may be an easier way to do this. I need to
check to see if any one of a list of tags on an object are in another list
of tags and am trying to do that with a function. the compiler tells me it
can't compile my eval function:
#list any import classes here.
**
*import* com.cp.services.rules.sources.Person;
**
*import* com.cp.services.rules.actions.PersonActions;
**
*import* com.cp.rules.TagCodes;
**
*import* java.util.List;
#declare any global variables here
**
*global* com.cp.services.rules.actions.PersonActions personActions;
**
*function* *boolean* hasOneOf(List list1, String[] list2){
*for* (Object obj : list1) {
String string = (String)obj;
*for* (*int* j = 0; j < list2.length; j++) {
*if* (string != *null* && string.equals(list2[j])) {
*return* *true*;
}
}
}
*return* *false*;
}
**
*rule* "Engineering"
*dialect* "mvel"
*when*
**
#conditions
Person( ageInYears >= 18 ) *and*
*eval* ( hasOneOf(Person(tagList), TagCodes(engrTags)) )
*then*
#actions
personActions.addAction("EngineeringGroup");
*
end
*
