Hi Bruce,
 
>From my experience (with 3.1-M1) you can reference bound Facts/Columns
in subsequent patterns; like:-
 
$m : Manufacturer ( name == "Honda" )
$c : Car ( manufacturer == $m )
$c : Customer ( cars contains $c, age > 18 )
 
$cars.contains("Honda") requires an eval statement as your requirement
is equivalent to "Customer ( cars.contains("Honda") )" which does not
use a zero-parameter field accessor and is not compliant with the Java
Beans specification).
 
With kind regards,
 
Mike

        Subject: [rules-users] syntax question
        
        
        Hi,
        
        I have a question regarding rules syntax particularly with left
hand side. Suppose I have the following condition ..
        
        when 
           Customer ( $cars : cars, age > 18 )
        ...
        
        How can I use the bind variable "$cars" in subsequent statements
without using eval(), like so ... 
        
        when 
          Customer ( $cars : cars,  age > 18 )
          eval( $cars.contains( "Honda" ) )
        ....
        
        
        Basically I would like to know what the alternatives for doing
something like so this without having to use eval function. I know this
might not be the best example for this question, but please I'm just
learning this system right now. 
        
        
        Thanks in advance,
        Bruce.
