So you want the rule to fire if there exists a String from subset which is not in superset?

Subject: [rules-users] Check if fact is subset of items in the rule

 

Posting a new thread for this specific problem that has been a head scratcher for me for days now.

 

Here is the problem space.

 

I have a rule that can have a superset of elements such as say "String1", "String2", "String3" , "String4". These are known in rule creation time.

 

Fact can have subset say "String1", "String4"

 

How can I form a drl to check to verify that fact is a subset of elements in the rule?

 

I need to not fire the rule if fact is a subset but I should  be able to add a not if I can first figure out if it is a sub set.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Kumar
