[rules-users] Assigning variables in decision tables

[Hehl, Thomas]

Mark, You made a comment on my JIRA that I thought I'd post here for
discussion:

 

Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-1155:

---------------------------------------

 

anAnwer is a method/function that returns a boolean? Must admit I don't
understand what you are trying to do there. Anyway if all you are trying to
do is assign the results of a function/method call then why not just use an
= assignment?

BooleanAnswer = anAnswer(anAnswer.setAnswer(true)); 

 

Any valid java can used.

 

What I'm really trying to do is simply return a boolean from a set of really
complicated rules in my decision table. I run through the rules and if it
passes, I return true.

 

The reason I didn't do what you suggested above is b/c there is no
documentation to suggest this is valid syntax and, after several postings to
this list, no one responded to my requests on how to do this assignment.

 

So, how do I do an assignment in a decision table to simply return a
boolean? Otherwise, can you explain the syntax you posted to me. This
doesn't look like any Java I've seen and I can't make heads or tails of how
it should work.

 

Thanks.
