Hi Krishnan,
I need the functionality of being able to call methods of a global class in the 'then' piece of the drl. I had defined the drl file as:
 
package test.tools.rulesengine
import test.tools.rulesengine.Utilities;
global test.tools.rulesengine.Utilities util;
 
rule "Rule1".................
 
When I debug the 'when' piece, I see that the method to check the name is being called, but tfter that, the global util's class method is not called. Any pointers would be helpful.
 
Thanks,
Smitha

Hi Smitha,

Rewrite the rule as follows :-

rule "Rule1"
when
$Position1 : Position ( name matches "POS-RPT_0_1" )
then
$Position.setColor("red");
end

Note : You had something called util, unless it is a global, it will not work.

Hi,
I am new to JBoss rules. I have a .drl as given below:
 
rule "Rule1"
when
$Position1 : Position()
eval($Position1.getName() contains "POS-RPT_0_1")
then
util.setColor($Position1, "red");
end
 
Before firing the rules, I assert my object as
 
posIn = new Position(name,
     id,
     symbolCode,
     lonDouble,
     latDouble,
     elevDouble,
     reportDate,
     this);
    workingMemory.assertObject ( posIn );
    workingMemory.fireAllRules();
 
I get the following error.
 
org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Rule Compilation error The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable Syntax error on token "contains", invalid AssignmentOperator
at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Unknown Source)
at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(Unknown Source)
 
What is wrong with my drl? I have a Utilities class that I have defined as global.
 
Thanks
