RE: [rules-users] 'from global' and the workingMemory

I believe the "from" keyword will iterate only the items in list1. I don't consider it naïve though; just doing what it is documented to do. If you want to iterate facts in the RETE network you need to insert them into working memory. You could use a rule to do this (copy from a global into WM) or do it from your application. -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Yoni Mazar Sent: 30 July 2008 09:46 To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: [rules-users] 'from global' and the workingMemory Hi all, Let's look at the following example: ****DRL file*************** global java.util.List list1; global java.util.List list2; rule "r1" when Fact(...) from list1 then .... ****Application************ List<Fact> facts1 = ... List<Fact> facts2 = ... List<Fact> allFacts= facts1+facts2 StatelessSession session = ... session.setGlobal("list1", facts1); session.setGlobal("list2", facts2); session.execute(allFacts) The question: will rule "r1" use the facts from the working memory and a rete algorithm, or will it naively loop on list1 items? BTW, can we use generic in the DRL section? for example: global java.util.List<Fact> list1; Thanks for the help, Yoni -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%27from-global%27-and-the-workingMemory-tp18728639p...
