<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft YaHei","sans-serif"">Hi Stathis<br>
<br>
You're probably right, maybe it's a wrong question, i'm new to Drools, so I copy the rule sample from user guide as below to better explain, that's what i need, but the rule will be automatically generated in the future..<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<pre>package com.company.license<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>rule "Is of valid age"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>when<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> $a : Applicant( age < 18 )<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>then<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> $a.setValid( false );<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>end<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft YaHei","sans-serif""> <br>
So in the future the rule may include more and more conditions like below:<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>rule "Is of valid age2"<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>when<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> $a : Applicant( age > 18 and age < 20 )<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>then<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>...<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>end<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft YaHei","sans-serif""><br>
So it may grow to be a very large rule(?), and this is actually my question: how to handle this big rule? Thanks you guys<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Ramon<o:p></o:p></span></p>
