Re: [rules-users] Problem evaluating with Enum

I have encountered the following problem using enums in drools. I have an enum defined called ETimeConstraint, something of the sort: public enum ETimeConstraint {       NO_CONSTRAINT,       TODAY, TOMORROW, ; } Now I wish to filter sentences which reside in the working memory based on a time constraint which is of this enum type. I created the following test rule rule "My Test"       when             $sentences:       ArrayList()                                     from collect (IPhoneSentences.Sentence( descriptor contains ETimeConstraint    ))       then             //something end this does not work meaning no sentence are selected although I know that there are sentences in the working memory. but when I add ETimeConstraint.name it does: rule "My Test"       when             $sentences:       ArrayList()                                     from collect (IPhoneSentences.Sentence( descriptor contains ETimeConstraint.name    ))       then             //something end I can stick to this workaround but it becomes very problematic to work this way. Furthermore once I wish to define a variable for example defining $timeConstraint : rule "My Test"       when                   $cm:              Condition(                                                 $timeConstraint: contextIntention,                                     ) $sentences:       ArrayList()                                     from collect (IPhoneSentences.Sentence( descriptor contains $timeConstraint    ))       then             //something end this will not work because I can’t put $timeConstraint.name any suggestions? I am running: -          Drools 5.2.0 -          Eclipse Helios -          JBoss 5.1.0 Thanks Hezi _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
