[rules-users] RE: Need DRL authoring Help

Ok, Thanks for the help on the drl syntax. So this works. rule "UCCnet_DVE_Depth_All" when catalogObject : CatalogObject( ) eval( catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == null || catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == "" ) then logWriter.logDebug("Package Depth is Blank"); end But how do I get the drl parser to accept something like this: rule "UCCnet_DVE_Depth_All" when catalogObject : CatalogObject( ) String s = catalogObject.getElementValue("depth"); eval( s == null || s == "" ) then logWriter.logDebug("Package Depth is Blank"); end I am getting an Unexpected token 's' InvalidRulePackage
