Hi Vlad, There is a very basic wiki page on it (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=DecisionTableTemplates ).
In terms of the functionality you mention you have your data having knowledge of the rule templates whereas the current implementation is such that the data has no knowledge of the templates. You can apply multiple rule templates to the same data however (as in ExternalSpreadsheetCompilerIntegrationTest): final ExternalSpreadsheetCompiler converter = new ExternalSpreadsheetCompiler(); final List listeners = new ArrayList(); ExternalSheetListener l1 = new ExternalSheetListener(10, 3, "/templates/test_pricing1.drl"); listeners.add(l1); ExternalSheetListener l2 = new ExternalSheetListener(30, 3, "/templates/test_pricing2.drl"); listeners.add(l2); converter.compile("/data/ExamplePolicyPricing.xls", InputType.XLS, listeners); This example assumes two sets of data in the one sheet, however they could both have been applied to the same set (ie. the second listener could also point to row 10, column 3). Would that accomplish what you need? Steve On 2/20/07, Olenin, Vladimir (MOH) <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:
Thanks, Steve. That really seems to do the trick. Are there any wiki pages on this new functionality? Or for now one should refer to the source code & unit tests? I also wonder what other functionality the new templating engine has? Is it possible to define different 'types' of rules in the same 'rule' template and refer to these types from 'Excel' data fields (eg, have one column per rule where you can refer 'rule template XXX' from drl file; this value can override some default value for example). If not, how such situations can be handled? (ie, when one needs several type of rules driven by the same data?)

So, any way to achieve this? Whether in current version (3.0.x) or the upcoming release (3.2) Thanks, Vlad _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- Steven Williams Supervising Consultant Object Consulting Office: 8615 4500 Mob: 0439 898 668 Fax: 8615 4501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.objectconsulting.com.au consulting | development | training | support our experience makes the difference _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
