Hi All,
I am seeking some kind of filtering (if statement) inside the LHS.
I have the following example rule (note: $attributeFilteredSentences and
$cmdescriptor are defined in the extends rule which is not presented):
rule " choose message sentence example" extends "
attributeFilteredSentences
collection"
when
SContextState(state == SContextState.ONE)
$sentences: ArrayList()
from collect (Sentences.Sentence(
descriptor.meanings.meaning == $cmdescriptor.meanings.meaning
) from
$attributeFilteredSentences)
then
logger.info("RULE: entered rule: "+drools.getRule().getName());
//some logic.
end
as can be seen I am filtering sentences based on the meanings, and the
meaning collection must be identical as in $cmdescriptor (this is the case
when SContextState.ONE)
Now to my question: I have cases ((this is the case when SContextState.TWO)
where I do not need exact validation but rather superset of (for this I have
a supersetOf operator implemented)
I would like to avoid duplicating this rule (as I have similar condition in
many other rules) and being able to filter once with "==" and once with
"supersetOf" depending on the SContextState.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,
Hezi

I have found that query's can be used to provide re-usable rule
fragments. In the example below I could have inlined the intentory LHS
in the updateInventory rule, but instead I separated it out into a query
so that multiple rules can re-use it. There is a small performance
overhead from using queries, compared to normal patterns, but in most
cases this is compensated by more maintainable and readable code.
query inventory(Character $char, List $inventory)
$char := Character()
$inventory := List() from accumulate( Holding( $char, $thing; ),
collectList( $thing ) )
end
rule updateInventory salience 5 when
SessionCharacter( $char : character, $us : session )
inventory( $char, $things; )
then
$us.channels["inventory"].send( $things );
end

Any ideas how to do this?

Hezi

Using queries doesn't solve the Hezi's problem which is the selection
of an operator based on some property value.
Relying on Java and evel, you can always write an expression such as
eval( $ctxt.state == SContextState.ONE ?
$ds.sentence.equals( $someSentence ) :
$ds.sentence.memberOf( $sentenceSet ) )
(Sorry, I did not try to stick to your complex class structures.)
