RE: [rules-users] How to use not operator in drool.
Hi Edson Thanks for your reply. I guess we'll try and code in a work around for now.

Arsalan, Unfortunately Drools does not have a field constraint negation operator, mostly because when writing rules, it was not needed, since you can always negate the constraint itself. Although, I understand a agree with your use case. My suggestion is for you to open a JIRA feature request and we will include that as soon as possible in the product. Although, meanwhile, the only workaround I can see for your case is to translate the expression you are using directly into a java or mvel expression and write it inside an in-line eval.

We're working on this problem together and so far, we haven't been able to crack it. We're using drools to handle the business rules for an application. The rules however, are not provided to us in a .drl file, rather, we get an XLS sheet from the analysts with rules in a different grammar. We're using ANTLR to read and parse these rules to generate the drools rules programmatically. However, we're running into problems with NOT. The input rules (in the non-drools business language) have a NOT operator which works like '!' in Java. It flips the Boolean around, so to speak. So: NOT((some sub expression which evaluates to TRUE)) == FALSE MVEL doesn't seem to support this. So how do we simulate it? If it were only being used with NOT IN, we could manage, but its use is completely arbitrary. Changes to the input rules or to the input rules grammar have been (ha ha) ruled out.

RE: [rules-users] Dynamic changes to drl file
Hi.
