<b>Prediates How-to in Guvnor :</b><br>
<br>
You can use predicates in the dialog box for editing a condition
column. There are 3 radio buttons for "value", "formula", and
"predicate"<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Templates VS tables</b> :<br>
Template are more flexible ... may be ... may be not.<br>
First, in templates in guvnor, you first see the templated DRL, and
you have to click on a button to edit the table. Businnes users
don't care about the template, and want to see the table first<br>
Second, in guided tables, you can set some constraints that are not
added if the parameter is not set (empty cell). In template, an
empty cell results in a empty substitution, and generally in a
compilation error ... Template should incorporate a condition to put
a bunch of the template if the cell is filled or not, or make all
cells mandatory.<br>
<br>
But I agree that template offer more possibilities (in term of rule
complexity) that tables, which must handle "flat" POJO. For you
initial question, ie using functions in tables, the simpler way is
to add a method in the POJO itself, but may be not the cleaner way
... Indeed, using tables often lead to some model adaptations...<br>
<br></div></blockquote><div>Ideally I'd like to implement "tabular templates" where a column can be any DRL fragment with place-holders for values and the data is listed in the rows below. It's on the "to do list".<br>
<br>If the template limitation you mention is causing problems please raise a JIRA and we can look into changing the behaviour.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<b>Langages</b> :
<div class="gmail_quote">You can switch the langage used by adding
"?langage=fr_FR" parameter to the guvnor URL. <br>
You can also provide a resource file translated to your favorite
langage (by browsing the trunk or a grep code) in a JIRA.<br>

<b>POJO upload</b> :<br>
You need to "SAVE" the package (File/Save in the package tab) after
an upload for the new class to be updated (and old one to be
deleted). "Verify" is not enough (was in 5.1, not in 5.2)<div class="im"><br>
<br>
<i>5. If I upload something from Eclipse it lands under "Other
assets,<br>
documentation" even if they are Java classes which I hoped would
land under<br>
Model... is there anything I can do about that? A Java POJO model
once uploaded<br>
is just a jar blob afterwards, not usable from Eclipse anymore...</i><br>
<br></div>
Via Webdav it (should) works if you upload a .jar file. Works in
5.2m2 for me, but you still need to save the package (and create the
import list in the package view too, or upload a drools.package
file) to see your classes<div class="im"><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>7. Clicking a Guvnor repository business rule file in Eclipse
throws a WebDav<br>
error "not found", both for brl and gdsl files. Could it have to
do with the<br>
fact that the package doesn't validate at the moment?</i><br>
<br></div>
Guided editors are no longer supported by eclipse plugin (brl was,
gdst never was). Officialy due to a lack of interest from the users
... brl was very badly handled anyway, so may be it is better like
this. <br>
But you can still download it to your local drive, and edit it in
XML (if you really want to).<div class="im"><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>8. Clicking in Eclipse in the Guvnor perspective a freshly
created rule flow<br>
(nothing uploaded yet) throws an exception as well...<br>
</i><br></div>
How can you have a "not uploaded yet" resource in the Guvnor
perspective (view rather that perspective I think) ?<br>
