[rules-users] RE: Problems with Decision Table

Hi Heli. I was doing something similar in a DT and it took ages to figure it out. I was trying to compare dates from two different bound objects. I wanted to know if one date was later than the other. To compund the problem, the value in the condition cell (the user editable part) needed to be true or false. I ended up putting the whole thing in an eval() statement like this: eval(obj1.getDate().before(obj2.getDate()) == $1) Using similar logic, yours might look like this: eval(obj1.getDateField().before(new Date()) == $1) The construct new Date() should be the current date/time. The eval() statement will return either true or false, so put that in your condition cell. Hope this helps. --Jeff -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of helidesai Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 7:41 AM To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: [rules-users] Problems with Decision Table Hello, I am using JBoss Rules 3.1.0M1. I am using the decision table. I don't know how we can check something like DateField <= currentDate? I have tried to put Today() in data column and in condition I have put DueDt <= $1. But this gives error that 'Unexpected Token' .Is there any way to put current date like new Date() in Dicision table. Also I noticed that the 'Or' condition doesn't work properly. For example if i have to enter the condition like "Policy is Live or Policy is Cancelled" do this 'Msg'. I have to repeat the Action (Msg) field for both the rows with live and cancelled. Is there any other way to implement 'Or'? Another thing is can we use the condition without passing the data field? For example if I put DueDt <= new java.util.Date() in condition table and no fields in data column, will it work? Please let me know.
