[rules-users] How to define static constant variable

[Welsh, Armand]

I have a similar issue. I use sqlDefaultDate() and maxDate() in several of my rules.  What I did was to create a static function for each.  Each function simply returns a static variable.  The variable is initialized on first use.  This ensure maxium performance.  Then in my rules, I just put the function name in my DRL file where ever I need it referenced.  But I also made sure to import external function in my imports statements to make the function available to my applications.

There are some constant variables will be used in rules. For example, I have a maximum and minimum value which are used to limited other values. So I need to define these values in rules. If I set global variable, I have to set these global on the session in java code. How can I set them in rules without change Java code?
