Re: [rules-users] Drools Decision Table with no rules matches blank rule

From what I gather you're saying if the XLS contains no definitions, I.e.

I have an xls file with the appropriate header lines to make the xls a Drools Decision Table that I provide to my users. I validate the content/data they enter, but do allow it to be "blank", that is, no user data, just the Drools Decision Table key words, conditions, actions, etc. When using the stateful knowledge session built using the Drools Decision Table, I insert an object implementing AgendaEventListener and override the afterActivationEvent method to record on the object which row was hit. I found that it is saying it hit the first row in the Drools Decision Table after the header information. But that corresponds to a blank line, since the table is blank. It seems to have generated a blank drl rule behind the scenes with no conditions (so it always succeeds) and no actions. Since I have logic based on whether or not a rule was successfully selected, this selection of a non-existent rule breaks my code. The user won't really be using a blank spreadsheet, but I need to cover the situation. The validation is pretty set in stone right now so I don't want to force the user to have some data. Can anyone suggest an easy way to stop it from matching the blank line? Thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Drools-Decision-Table-with-no-rules-mat...
