<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I&#8217;ve only been working with Drools for a little over a
month or so now and I&#8217;ve begun integrating it into my application via
Eclipse and creating DRL files.&nbsp; The nature of this application is to take
a data record from one file and create a new data record in another file.&nbsp;
This is done in a batch of any number of records, depending on the number of
records sent to us in the first file. To accomplish this I have two classes,
one representing each file, and I create and object for each of them, inserting
them into the knowledge session and then fire the rule.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Monaco'>&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Monaco'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

ksession.fireAllRules();</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The first object has around 1,000 fields and the second has
250, so my class structure is quite broad.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In a DRL file I have created the following rule:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:Monaco;color:#960000'>rule</span></b><span

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This rule fires great and the PrimaryDiag field in
myObjectOut is updated with what iss in myObjectIn.<span style='font-family:

database fine.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A requirement of my project is that I allow users (analysts)
to create their own rules that are above and beyond those I might create in a
.drl file. To do so we are looking to deploy Guvnor and let them use the Guided
editor to create rules.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve already loaded my fact models into
Guvnor and have them available in the drop down conditions.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The questions that are hitting me now are:<o:p></o:p></p>

were to choose &#8220;not equal to&#8221; I then have the options for Literal
Values, New Formulas, or Expression Editor (which has none by default).&nbsp; I
haven&#8217;t seen any examples where someone is evaluating a field in Guvnor
for being either &#8220;&#8221; or null.&nbsp; How would one accomplish
this?&nbsp; The literal value does not allow you to leave it blank as in
&#8220;&#8221; and if you type &#8220;&#8221; in it, the source shows
&#8220;&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;.<o:p></o:p></p>

Diag2.&nbsp; Is there another way that they could be prompted for the field
choises again?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in'>On the RHS, when I go to
