Hi,
All this boils down to RuleModel which does not have mechanism of sending
more than 1 attribute in an action. Look at BRDRLPersistence and also
ActionFieldSetValue classes in drools-compiler.

Subject: [rules-users] Changing the default character for delimiter in decision
tables
Hi All,
I wanted to throw to discussion a feature that might be good
in Drools. I am basically trying to model a formula evaluator in a decision
table. The idea being that a business user directly defines formulas(without having
to use Guided Editors in the BRMS or Eclipse, as business users love Excel more
than anything else..;)).
The thing I am trying to do is the following:
Condition
Action
T:FormulaFact
formulaName
int salary=t.getSalary();
t.setBenefit($1);
Formula1
salary * 100
Formula2
salary * 1000
Everything runs great as Excel simply substitutes the
entered string into the function. The problem I face is when I write something
like this:
Formula3
min(salary,100)
The ”,” here is treated as the delimited of a
parameter. So the compiled DRL does not set the string correctly. It would make
a rule like
Rule FormulaTable_123
When
T: FormulaFact(formulaName=”Formula1”)
Then
int salary=t.getSalary();
t.setBenefit(min(salary); //Since the words after the
, become part of $2 which is not defined.
End
Is there any-way to declaratively change the Decision Table
Parser to not use , for delimiting between parameters and use some other
character.
I could always write the DT using my character, then compile
the DT into DRL and replace my character with ,(I am thinking of using
“Colon”), but would it be a good idea to have an Excel or a Property File
that can be read by the SpreadSheetCompiler to change the delimited character
used by the Parser.
Cheers,
Vikrant
