> Using MVEL as the language for clauses, there is no way to test whether a map's key contain a value.
> For instance:
> rule "number 1"
> when
>     e : S(map.keySet() contains "x")
> then
>     System.out.println("rule number 1");
> end
> leads to a syntax error because Drool's parser does not allow function calls ("keySet())" in clauses.
> On the other hand, MVEL (according to Mike Brocks, please read http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-53 ) does not provide an operator to test containment in a map's set (or values). He said he's considering adding a shortcut such as .keys and .values in 2.0 and recommended I open a Drools JIRA issue.
> Please provide a way to test for membership in a map's key and value set.
