Hi all,

I am new to Jess and would like to know if the following is possible to
define in a Jess rule...

I have a java class like the following:
class Person
{
private List<String> banks = new ArrayList();
public List<String> getBanks()
{
return banks;
}

}

I want to define a rule that will be fired when a person has certain Bank
within their Banks list...

for example:

I want to write a rule that will be fired when "Bank1" is one of the String
in that person's "Banks" list
and another rule that will be fired if "Bank1" but not "Bank2" in the
Person's Bank list?

Possible?

Thanks a lot for your help

Kai
