[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBRULES-1411) PrefixOr is Broken

[Edson Tirelli (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1411?page=all ]

Edson Tirelli closed JBRULES-1411.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

Binding multiple OR'ed patterns at once is a special syntax case that is only supported for infix OR:

$xxx : (A(...) or A(...) or A(...))

I would like to completely remove the support for that, but Mark does not agree with dropping this syntax.
If you are using prefix or, just to bindings as you would usually do:

(or a:A(...) a:A(...) a:A(...))

It is possible to use the same syntax with infix OR:

(a:A(...) or a:A(...) or a:A(...))

> Tried to use PrefixOr in rules, but always receive compiler error. Used infixOr as work around.  But it seems a bug.  Will attach a stand-alone sample app to demonstrate this problem.
