Re: [rules-users] accessing a drools variable

Hi , Thanks Bruno and Wolfgang for replying. The getname() is a drools function which i want to invoke at runtime and set the global variable. Code: global String prodCat; rule "Your First Rule" when #conditions nameList : ArrayList() //prodCat : String() eval (nameList.size() > 0) then #actions prodCat = getName(nameList); //modify (prodCat); System.out.println( "ArrayListSize:" +nameList.size()); System.out.println( "ProductCategory:" +prodCat); end function String getName(List lstName) { String name= ""; String prodCat = ""; for (Iterator iterator = lstName.iterator();iterator.hasNext();) { Map dsName= (HashMap)iterator.next(); prodCat = dsName.get("name").toString(); if(prodCat.equalsIgnoreCase("Rajiv")) { name= "Rajiv"; break; } else if(prodCat.equalsIgnoreCase("Robin")) { name= "Robin"; } } return name; } JAVA: String prodCat = "dummy"; StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(); ksession.insert(lstName); ksession.setGlobal("prodCat", prodCat); ksession.fireAllRules(); System.out.println("Output:"+ksession.getGlobal("prodCat")); --Rajiv -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/accessing-a-drools-va...
