When I author rules do the objects have to be beans? The reason I ask is
that I have a bunch of JAXB (version 1.0) objects that get automaticly
generated. I would like to use the interfeces that it generates for
matching LHS condition. However interfaces that gets generated don't have
'properties' that I can use for rule authoring. At the moment in order to
get the rule working I have to dig deep into the auto-generated classes to
fine the concret class and get the property. This is not ideal as I guess
the concret classes that get generated are 'hidden' for a reason (i.e.
subject to change)
For example this is my rule (a rule that gets the RNA of a DNA sequence):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
package uk.ac.ebi.submission.rules
#This is a jaxb generated interface
import uk.ac.ebi.submission.emblentry.bind.EntryType.FeatureType;
rule "get RNA"
when
fet : FeatureType( getName() == "mRNA" )
then
System.out.println("feat name " + fet.getName());
end
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This don't work ofcource as 'fet : FeatureType( getName() == "mRNA" )' is
not valid syntax.
In order to get this rule to work I have to use the concret class i.e. :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package uk.ac.ebi.submission.rules
#Concret class
import
uk.ac.ebi.submission.emblentry.bind.impl.EntryTypeImpl.FeatureTypeImpl;
rule "get RNA"
when
fet : FeatureTypeImpl( name == "mRNA" )
then
System.out.println("feat name " + fet.getName());
end
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a way around this? Thanks for any insight.
