JESS: defrule for multisot

[Emmanuel Shyllon]

Hi,   Given the following:     Rete engine = new Rete ();                         Deftemplate d =                         new Deftemplate("Aus-Address", "A Aus-Address", engine);                         d.addSlot("state-territ-name", Funcall.NIL, "STRING");                         d.addSlot("minPostCode", Funcall.NIL, "STRING");                         d.addSlot("maxPostCode", Funcall.NIL, "STRING");                        d.addMultiSlot("CommonFormState", Funcall.NILLIST);                         engine.addDeftemplate(d);                         //data for WA                                     Fact f = new Fact("Aus-Address", engine);                                     f.setSlotValue("state-territ-name", new Value("Western Australia", RU.STRING));                                     f.setSlotValue("minPostCode",      new Value("6000", RU.STRING));                                     f.setSlotValue("maxPostCode",      new Value("6999", RU.STRING));                                     ValueVector CommonFormState = new ValueVector();                                     CommonFormState.add(new Value("WA", RU.STRING));                                     CommonFormState.add(new Value("W Australia", RU.STRING));                                     CommonFormState.add(new Value("West. Australia", RU.STRING));                                     f.setSlotValue("CommonFormState",  new Value(CommonFormState, RU.LIST));                                     engine.assertFact(f);                         I have tried to define the following rule, but it did not work as stated below:      String ruleString = new String();    ruleString = "(defrule findProperState (Aus-Address (state-territ-name ?x) (CommonFormState \"W Australia\")) => (printout t \"result is: \" ?x crlf) )" ;                                     engine.executeCommand(ruleString);   I shall be grateful if any one could define a rule that contains a multislot (CommonFormState). Thanks.   Emmanuel.     ____________________________ Emmanuel A.
