[rules-users] Dates in an XLS decision table

[tad628]

I'm new to Drools and trying to figure out how to build a condition around a
date.  Using DRL, it might look something like this:

rule "Simple percentage with incentive date X"
    when
        $i : LineItem( status == LineItem.PROCESSING, $amount : amount,
$orderDate : orderDate )
    then
    Date $incentiveDate = new GregorianCalendar(2012, 0, 1).getTime();
    Date $incentiveDate2 = new GregorianCalendar(2013, 0, 1).getTime();
    if ( $orderDate.before( $incentiveDate ) )
            ....
    else if ( $orderDate.before( $incentiveDate2 ) )
            ...etc.

I can't figure out how to do this in a spreadsheet, however.  For the
condition I have the two lines below the "CONDITION" cell as:
LineItem
orderDate.before( $param )

with the various dates as rows down in the data section.

When I run this, I get an exception of that "unable to resolve method using
strict-mode: java.util.Date.before(java.lang.Double)"

How do I specify dates in the data field to get around this?
