I've got the following three rules in my DRL, but I'm seeing odd results. rule "matchfound" when s : String() then System.out.println("got a match, string found in working memory"); end rule "intmatchfound" when i : Integer() then System.out.println("got a match, Integer found in working memory"); end rule "no matching rule" when Otherwise() then System.out.println("no rule applied, using otherwise rule"); end If I assert a String, then the 'matchfound' rule fires. If I assert an Integer, 'intmatchfound' fires. If I assert an object of a different type or do not assert anything, the rule I would expect to fire ('no matching rule') never fires. The only way I can get it to fire is if I explicitly assert an instance of Otherwise. I was under the impression that Drools would automatically assert it when it sees that no other rule has fired. Am I doing something wrong here? Did usage of Otherwise change? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile.yahoo.com/go?refer=1GNXIC _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
