could anyone point me in the right direction with this I have my arraylist of objects (object contains name, value, response). I want to loop through the list and set the response on the object based on the names, values. Below is my go at setting this up. Can somone take a look and see if this would work? CONDITION CONDITION ACTION Test() t:TEST() (t.name == $param) from t t:TEST() (t.value == $param) from t.setResp("$param") a 1 TRUE b 2 TRUE c 3 FALSE -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Decision-Table-Help-tp4019281p4019550.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I wasnt asking for people to be compilers or parsers, what I was asking for was some general pointers. if you think the syntax is wrong then a pointer as to where i was going wrong would help rather than just saying "your syntax looks downright wrong" -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Decision-Table-Help-tp4019281p4019557.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi laune Thanks for the reply, and apologies for the bad syntax in my original mail. To answer your questions: * Is Test the same as TEST? If not, what's Test supposed to do? - Yes, Test is the same as TEST. * You have two bindings to t. - There are two bindings, becuase the first I want to get the name from the object, and the second I want to get the value from the object * What is "from t" meant to return? - i am trying to get it to return my Object * There is nothing after the second "from" - This shoud also have read "from t" * What are a, b and c supposed to be? If they're strings, where are the quotes? - Yes sorry, they should be strings * TEST() (t.name...) is nowhere near any syntactic form in DRL. - what i am trying to achieve here, is to loop through the ArrayList. Retrieving the object, and then from that object checking the value of the "name" and "value" for the second binding. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Decision-Table-Help-tp4019281p4019622.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi i have had another go at this,trynig to learn DRL and hthen applying it to my spreadsheet. The below is what i have so far: in java i create: List<Car> list = new ArrayList<Car>(); Car o1 = ... Car o2 = ... list.add(o1); list.add(o2); Test t = new Test(list); Car is: (name, value) DRL Rules: rule "Test" dialect "java" when test : Test vals : Car()(name == "A") from test.getData() then // do something end Spreadsheet: RuleSet org.uk import org.uk.Car Declare declare Car name : String value : String end Notes RuleTable Test Rules CONDITION CONDITION ACTION test:Test vals:Car (name == "$param") from test.getData() test.setResult("$param"); A PASS In my spreadsheet I had to put the 'from' part as part of its own condition as I was getting a mismatched input error. The error I now get is "Unable to create reader for 'Car etc', Am i on the right lines with the spreadsheet part, or is this still way off track?
