the dialect I have set to "java". Now, I know this make the Then part java. How about the When part? Is the When part ever java when I set the dialect to "java". My understanding is that When part is never Java. I have a map of string and need to support the following operators: equal does not equal contains does not contain starts with end with matches Reg Ex I know for equal and does not equal I can do $map: Map( this["Message.label"] == "iPhone" || this["Message.label"] == "iPhone" ) how about other? thanks! -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/is-the-When-part-java-tp4027582.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
