I need to compare date from java bean to system date for a rule. I referred to previous posts, drools expert documentation and tried to come up with a rule which is not yet working. Please help me for the same. 1. Which package should i import to use DateFactory? It is not in org.drools.base.evaluators.DateFactory anymore i guess. Is there a better way to get CurrentSystemDate other than using DateFactory? 2. In my JavaBean the date has format dd/MM/YYYY. So where do i set this format to drools.dateformat? In my .drl file or in the java pgm where i load the .drl file and do insertion of fact objects and fire the rules. rule SetTktIssueDate when DateFactory($sysdate : today ) $br:BillingRecord(tktIssueDate==null || tktIssueDate > sysdate) then modify($br){setTktIssueDate(sysdate);} thanks ABRA2 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Using-DateFormat-and-getting-today%27s-date-in-droo...
