Hi all,

I don't know exactly why I have a problem in my "exists" function. I've tried many different ways, but it does not work. Anybody could help me, please?

I have the following rules:

rule "diff"
when
    $var1: EReference(name == "employee")
    $var2: EClass(name == "Company", EAllReferences contains $var1)
    not (exists( EPackage(EClassifiers contains $var2 ) ))
then
    insertLogical(new IntConstraintOccurrence("diff", 10));
end

rule "ClassesNotReferenced"
    when
        $q1 : EClass();
        $q2 : EPackage(EClassifiers contains $q1);
        not( exists ( EReference(EType == $q1) ));
    then
        insertLogical(new IntConstraintOccurrence("ClassesNotReferenced", 1, $q1));
end

and in my facts (and my EPackage) I have 4 instances of EClass "Company" with a EReference "employee", and another EClass "Person". I still have a "move" that removes EClasses in my Drools Solver.

I need to have only one classe "Company" after processing. But it removes only the EClass "Person", when it was supposed to remove one EClass "Person" and 3 ECLasses "Company". Leaving one EClass "Company" in the end.

The problem is: when Drools tries to remove a EClass "Person" it thinks that the EClass "Company" does not exists. But in fact there are 3 others.

Any clue about it, please ?

Thanks

Bests regards

Antonio
