Thanks Mark. I removed the binding and the rule is compiled now, but while firing the rule over set of objects, I get a Null pointer exception.

Here is the updated Drool rule:

�

dialect "mvel"
rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule"
when
�� EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0:EtsExecutionOrderHist_core(customerOrFirm != "0")
�� EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00:EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
�� (
�� entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,
�� entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID,
�� entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID,
�� referenceID != "2" && referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
�� )
�� or
�� not(EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
�� (
�� entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,
�� entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID,
�� entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID,
�� referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
�� )
�� )
then
�� System.out.println("Rule fired");
end

�

and here is the stack trace:

After debugging through, DroolMVELFactory class object is looking for Declaration definition for "EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00", not finding it, and hence giving a null pointer exception. I am using Drools 5.0.1. Any idea about why this would happen? Does the rule seem right now?

Thanks

You are binding the result of the 'or' to EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00 as the second part is a 'not' which returns nothing, how would it be bound to?

Hi All,

I have the following drool rule that has "or not" under Entity Block. Basically, the rule tries to check if�there either exists an entity object EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00 with�the�given conditions, or the entity does not exist at all with some other conditions.�

�

dialect "mvel"
rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule"
when
EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0:EtsExecutionOrderHist_core(customerOrFirm != "0")
EtsExecutionOrderXref_core00:
(
�EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
�(
��entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID , entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID , entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID , referenceID != "2" && referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
�)
�or not(EtsExecutionOrderXref_core
�(
��entityOID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID , entityRID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID , entityVID == EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityVID , referenceIDType == "orderSubCapacity"
�))
)
then
end

�

But, while compiling the rule, I am getting the following errors:

�

org.drools.compiler.DroolsParserException: [ERR 101] Line 22:16 no viable alternative at input 'entityOID' in rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" in pattern not,

org.drools.compiler.DroolsParserException: [ERR 102] Line 22:68 mismatched input ',' expecting '(' in rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" in pattern EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID,

org.drools.compiler.DroolsParserException: [ERR 102] Line 22:122 mismatched input ',' expecting '(' in rule "Legacy ETSDB Rule" in pattern EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityOID in pattern EtsExecutionOrderHist_core0.entityRID,

I think the rule is correct, but am not able to figure out these compilation errors. Could anybody please comment on why this would happen?

Thanks
