Subject: Re: [rules-users] Collecting all items of nested collections / accumulate nested collections

If I understood it correctly and have not missed a comma or parenthesis:

rule "level three"
when
   $l0: Level0()
   $list1: List( size > 0 )
      from accumulate (Level1( $level1List: level1List) from $l0.level1List,
        init( List l = new ArrayList(); )
        action( l.addAll($level1List); )
        return( l ) )
   $date: PartialDate()
      from accumulate (Level2((name in ("name1", "name2"),$occurrence: occurrence) from $list1,
          maxDate($occurence) )
then
