Hello, I have the following rules with the corresponding code in the LHS of each in a single .drl file. These were not written by me but by someone just as new to drools as I am. At the moment I'm not concerned with the RHS of the rule. rule "L_Quest_Q1_Add" salience 20 when not FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q1") l_Quest : L_Quest(questionNumber =="Q1") rule "L_Quest_Q3_Add" salience 20 when not FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q3") l_Quest : L_Quest(questionNumber =="Q3") rule "L_Quest_Q2_Add" salience 10 when formResponse1 : FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q1", responseData == "Yes") not FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q2") l_Quest : L_Quest(questionNumber =="Q2") rule "L_Quest_Q4_Add" salience 10 when formResponse3 : FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q3", responseData == "Yes") not formResponse4 : FormResponse(questionNumber == "Q4") l_Quest : L_Quest(questionNumber =="Q4") I want to rewrite these rules in a .dsl file making them as generic as possible. Something like when question {q} is not answered=not FormResponse(questionNumber == {q} My question is regarding how to reference the 'formResponse' object. For rule Q2_Add, do I really need to create 'formResponse1' and for rule Q4_Add, do I have to create 'formResponse3' and 'formResponse4'? I don't really want to have specific rules in my .dsl file like when question 1 is answered=FormResponse1(questionNumber == 1, etc. when question 3 is answered=FormResponse3(questionNumber == 3, etc. when question 4 is not answered=not FormResponse4(questionNumber == 4) Since I may have lots of questions, I don't want to have to have the numbers hard-coded in the .dsl syntax if I don't have to. That's why I'm wanting to know if I have to qualify 'FormResponse' so the rule engine knows which 'FormResponse' I mean. Thanks, Rod
