Thanks Mark. I removed the binding and the rule is compiled now, but while firing the rule over set of objects, I get a Null pointer exception.
Here is the updated Drool rule:
 
dialect "mvel"
rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule"
when
        EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0:EtsExecutionOrderHist_core(customerOrFirm != "0")
        EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00:EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
        (
            entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,
            entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID,
            entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID,
            referenceID != "2" && referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
        )
        or
        not(EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
                (
                    entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,
                    entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID,
                    entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID,
                    referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
                )
            )
then
    System.out.println("Rule fired");
end
 
and here is the stack trace:

After debugging through, DroolMVELFactory class object is looking for Declaration definition for "EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00", not finding it, and hence giving a null pointer exception. I am using Drools 5.0.1. Any idea about why this would happen? Does the rule seem right now?
Thanks

You are binding the result of the 'or' to EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00 as the second part is a 'not' which returns nothing, how would it be bound to?

Hi All,
 
I have the following drool rule that has "or not" under Entity Block. Basically, the rule tries to check if there either exists an entity object EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00 with the given conditions, or the entity does not exist at all with some other conditions. 
 
dialect "mvel"
rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule"
when
EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0:EtsExecutionOrderHist_core(customerOrFirm != "0")
EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00:
(
 EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
 (
  entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID , entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID , entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID , referenceID != "2" && referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
 )
 or not(EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
 (
  entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID , entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID , entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID , referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
 ))
)
then
end
 
But, while compiling the rule, I am getting the following errors:
 
org.drools.compiler.DroolsParserException: [ERR 101] Line 22:16 no viable alternative at input 'entityOID' in rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" in pattern not,

org.drools.compiler.DroolsParserException: [ERR 102] Line 22:68 mismatched input ',' expecting '(' in rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" in pattern EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,

I think the rule is correct, but am not able to figure out these compilation errors. Could anybody please comment on why this would happen?
 
Thanks
