Hello, Maybe I have overlooked something, but I couldn't find a way to generate a simple rule from an excel decision table, where the left hand side contains no field constraints? i.e. rule "do we have cheese" WHEN cheese: Cheese() THEN RHS End Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance, Martin _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply. Leaving a cell empty results in the condition not being added to the rule at all. Which is fine, cause then you're more flexible in grouping rules with different conditions together in one decision table I actually found a way yesterday, which seems to me more like a workaround. But it works: | 1 | RuleTable calculateSmell | | 2 | CONDITION | ACTION | | 3 | | cheese | | 4 | cheese:Cheese() | setSmell("$param"); | | 5 | for every cheese| set smell to stinky | | 6 | somevalue | stinky | By declaring the variable not in the row right underneath below the CONDITION cell, but in the row where you normally declare the conditions ( i.e. second row underneath the condition row AND putting in some random value in the cell, that holds the parameter value, you can generate the desired rule: #From row number: 6 rule "calculateSmell_6" when cheese:Cheese() then cheese.setSmell("stinky");; end Leaving out the parameter value results in the when line being blank, so you gotta fill in something. I can live with that, but it seems to me more like a workaround, so I would be kinda curious whether there is (or will be) an "official" way of achieving this Best regards, Martin ________________________________________ Van: Michael Neale [mailto:michael.neale@gmail.com] Verzonden: donderdag 15 februari 2007 01:05 Aan: Rules Users List Onderwerp: Re: [rules-users] How to generate rules from decision tables whereLHS has no field constraints you should be able to do that - just leave the constraint cells empty, or put some comment in them.
