[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-1058) nested accessors with Sets - "not contains" is not a valid operator for MVEL

[Edson Tirelli (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-1058?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13553700#comment-13553700 ] 

Edson Tirelli commented on JBRULES-1058:
----------------------------------------

[~rahulfedex] which version of Drools are you using? If you are using 7.6.0 or 7.7.0, then please open a new ticket and we will fix it asap. If you are using a previous version, can you please try the latest?

"contains" and "not contains" are valid operators in rules, so they should work fine.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: drools-compiler
>    Affects Versions:  4.0.0.GA

> Following does not work:
> 		rule StateMatch
> 			when
> 			$ca:CandidateAssociation(nurseDetails.stateLicensures excludes patientDetails.state  )			
> 			then 	
> 				retract( $ca );
> 		end
> 		
> 		
> 		public class CandidateAssociation {
> 			private PatientDetails patientDetails;
> 			private NurseDetails   nurseDetails;
> 			private int overlapHours;
> 		
> 			public CandidateAssociation( PatientDetails patientDetails, NurseDetails nurseDetails) {
> 				super();
> 				this.patientDetails = patientDetails;
> 				this.nurseDetails = nurseDetails;
> 				overlapHours = participantDetails.getNumberOverlapHourCnt(nurseDetails);
> 			}
> 		    [...]
> 		}
> 		
> 		public class NurseDetails {
> 			private Set stateLicensures = new HashSet();
> 			[...]
> 		}
> 		public class PatientDetails {
> 			private String state;
> 			[...]
> 		}
> Edson suggested that the problem is that "not contains" is not a valid operator for MVEL. 
> Also Noticed that the following workaround did not work:
> 		rule State
> 		    dialect "mvel"
> 			when
> 		            $ca:CandidateAssociation( eval ( ! nurseDetails.stateLicensures.contains( patientDetails.state ) ) )
> 			then 	
> 		  	    retract( $ca );
> 		end
> 		
> 		This produced this Exception:
> 		org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Unable to determine the used declarations : [Rule name=State, agendaGroup=MAIN, salience=0, no-loop=false]
> 	        at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Package.java:408)
> 	        at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(AbstractRuleBase.java:288)
