you are close ;)

Yes, it is a challenge, thats what the examples are for etc.

but try this (FYI I think you mean "or"):

*rule* "UCCnet_DVE_Depth_All"

     *when*

           catalogObject : CatalogObject( )

        eval( catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == *null* ||
catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == "" )

#           String depth = CatalogObject.getElementValue("depth")

#           depth == null

#           depth == ""

#           catalogObject : CatalogObject( depth == null)

#           catalogObject : CatalogObject( depth == "")

     *then*

          # DON'T do this            logWriter : LogWriter();

       # BUT you can pass in a logWriter global variable

           logWriter.logDebug("Package Depth is Blank");

           System.out.println( "Package Depth is Blank" );
*end*


Hope that helps.
In the up coming BRMS, there will be a GUI which also has a secret purpose
of "coaching" what DRL looks like, for those who need to know.

 Writing DRL is not easy for people new to drools.   Can someone please
help me understand how to write this simple rule?  You can see the
approaches I have taken.



In this case I do not have getters and setters for the attributes I am
checking.  I need to pass parameters to the object for it to get the data.



I can't get any of the code in the when block to be syntax proper.
 Existing DRL doc is lacking in this area.



Thanks  John
