Niyas,

There is no difference I can see between the 2 rules. Only thing worth to mention is you can't have both simultaneously in your package because they have the same name, but I guess you have one or the other, right?

Regarding the $, as Oana said, it is just a naming convention. We use it to make clear a variable is a rule bound variable. As you know, "$" is a valid java starting character for identifiers, so you can use a java variable named "$cust", the same way you can use another named "cust".

Why in the second case it's not printing anything? I am not asked
about usom valid identifiers....  pls see the below two rules..

Is there any difference between the below two rules

rule "Credti Accept" salience 10
    when
cust:Customer(customerAge > 18) then System.out.println("Credit Card Allowed For :: " +cust.getCustomerName());
        //retract(cust);
end




rule "Credti Accept" salience 10
    when
$cust:Customer(customerAge > 18) then System.out.println("Credit Card Allowed For :: " +$cust.getCustomerName());
        //retract(cust);
end

Hi Niyas,

There is no difference between your two declarations emp and $emp . The sign
'$' is used as first letter in the name of a declaration just to
differentiate declarations from fields. You can used or not. It's your
choice. But I think it is appropriate to use it, just to follow the drools
standards in writing the code.

Best regards,
                 Oana.

sign)? give some example
