The latter approach is particularly powerful we have a very simple but
amazingly flexible class called Affirmation which just have 3 fields - String
name, Object subject, Object value. This however gives most flexibility that
you need
Eg
rule "Hungry"
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch>2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
not Affirmation(name == "PersonIsHungry", subject == $person)
then
insert(new Affirmation("PersonIsHungry", $person, true);
end
rule "Food"
when
$person : Person()
Affirmation(name == "PersonIsHungry", subject == $person, value == true)
not Affirmation(name == "PersonHasLookedForFood", subject == $person)
then
modify($person) {
lookForFood()
}
insert(new Affirmation("PersonHasLookedForFood", $person));
end
- I;ve also updated the rules so they are less likely to retrigger multiple
times if some other rules modify person
