I'm trying to write a rule to add an object to a collection if the collection
already contained a certain object with a specific attribute.

I developed a small example so maybe that will make more sense:

Use Case: In a product shipping applicaiton, anytime a product with the name
"cd1" is in the shipping order, a bonus product named "bonus_cd" needs to be
added to the shipping order.  The bonus cd should not be added if it's
already in the shipping order.

Shipping Order:

public class ShippingOrder {

        private Set<Product> products;
        
        public ShippingOrder() {}

        public Set<Product> getProducts() {
                return products;
        }

        public void setProducts(Set<Product> products) {
                this.products = products;
        }
                
}

Product:

public class Product {

        private String name;
        
        public Product(){}

        public String getName() {
                return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
                this.name = name;
        }
        
}


Rule:

rule "AddBonusCd"

        when
                $so : ShippingOrder()
                $productList : ArrayList(size == 1) from collect( Product(name 
matches
"cd1|bonus_cd") from $so.products)
        then
                System.out.println("Adding Bonus Cd");
                
                Set<Product> productSet = new 
HashSet<Product>($so.getProducts());
                
                Product bonusCd = new Product();
                bonusCd.setName("bonus_cd");
                productSet.add(bonusCd);
                
                modify($so) {
                        setProducts(productSet);
                }
end

The Shipping Order object is inserted as the fact.

The rule is valid if only cd1 or cd_bonus is in the shipping order.  I only
want the rule to run when cd1 is in the product set but cd_bonus is not. 
Makes sense?

Thanks,
J
