Note to drools devs: I didn't put the original poster up to this. :) Globals should be considered immutable, so shouldn't be used in this way. You could do it with an object asserted in working memory, though.
Just as good, though, you can use this kind of pattern to replicate else logic: rule "EverythingMatches" when Condition0 Condition1 Condition2 then ... end rule "ElseAtCondition2" when Condition0 Condition1 !Condition2 then ... end rule "ElseAtCondition1" when Condition0 !Condition1 then ... end rule "ElseAtCondition0" when !Condition0 then ... end --- On Mon, 6/15/09, Scott Reed <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Scott Reed <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [rules-users] Help -- Conditional Logic in DRL > To: "Rules Users List" <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, June 15, 2009, 10:19 PM > Looks like 5 rules with a global flag > might work: > > global boolean flag = false; > > rule "name1" > when > (condition1 == true ) > (flag == false) > then > consequence1(); > flag = true; > end > > ... > > rule "name5" > when > (condition5 == true ) > (flag == false) > then > consequence5(); > flag = true; > end > > Does that work for you? > > Vishy [6/15/2009 11:06 PM] wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I am new to drools...and am trying to figure out as to > how I can > > represent the following logic in a DRL file. > > > > if (condition1) { > > > > if (condition2) { > > > > } else if (condition3) { > > > > } else if (condition 4) { > > > > } else if (condition 5) { > > > > } > > > > } > > > > In DSL, a typical rule is represented as follows: > > > > rule "name" > > > > when > > condition is true > > then > > consequence > > > > end > > > > How can I represent the above mentioned if - else > logic in DSL?
