[rules-users] RE: RE: trivial case in xls

[Manjax23]

you can keep a flag to check if it isNew or isEmpty flag inside the Object
and check this flag inside your rule. Or add a method checkNull() to the
object and check this method in the rule file.

rule "otherwise"
when 
     $p : Person( isNew == true )
then retract ($p)
end

Hope this works !!! :)
