Re: [rules-users] How to handle generics in Drools?

Hello Edson, If the generic *<T>* is not allowed, and drools appears to be written to operate over collections of objects, how do you insert a List of items like this: *List<ProjectDataSet.Task> tasks*? In my code I insert the tasks as facts like this: *commands.add(CommandFactory.newInsertElements(tasks));* I use a decision table and have as one of the variables: (in the variable row) *List<ProjectDataSet.Task> tasks*. The error I receive is this: /org.drools.template.parser.DecisionTableParseException: The format for global variables is incorrect. It should be: [Class name, Class otherName]. But it was: [List<ProjectDataSet.Task> tasks] at org.drools.decisiontable.parser.RuleSheetParserUtil.getVariableList(RuleSheetParserUtil.java:84)/ I desire the rules in the table to iterate through all the tasks in that list and identify tasks that are due soon (a part of my condition column *TASKACTSTART< today* … etc. The TASKACTSTART is a field named by Microsoft in the ProjectDataSet.Task class.) Have I misunderstood the power of drools? How do you address a collection of a type like List<T> in a rule?
