[rules-users] variable binding without condition in Decision table

I have a decision table where I need to bind a variable to use in the action. The problem is that the binding does not happen unless I apply a condition. What I want in the resulting rule is this: $serviceContract: CreditServiceContract ( ) This is what I want but does not work. The binding does not happen so the rule does not compile. This works but I hate to add an arbitrary condition just to accomplish a binding. I'm sure I am just missing something. Can someone point that out? Thanks Kent Symanzik
