[rules-users] Looping in When part

Hi I want to match a string with the contents of hashmap. The process is like this. Let the string is "abcd" First it will search for abcd in the map if found i have to assign it to a variable else i has to remove the last alphabet ("abc") and have to match with hashmap like is the process. My Problem is iam not able to do that iteration in when part What i have done is i will check the condition in when part if it matches the hashmap then it will exit. Else it will satisfies the condition(String not matching any of hashmap contents) and goes in then and update the string by removing the last alphabet and loops . rule "somerule" no-loop false when condition for checking that hashmap has no key of String s and s.length>0 then modify the String s by removing last alphabet end is there any option to do the looping in the when part itself -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Looping-in-When-part-tp3393236p3393236....
