Re: [rules-users] Need help with Decision Table Conditions

2011-01-10 Thread Tihomir Surdilovic

Hi Jason,
for fact types and attributes you should be able to reuse the Functions 
keyword in the RuleSet section of your sheet, for example:


---
| Functions | declare Person @author( Bob ) . end |
---

For rule attributes you can reuse the I keyword as the cell header and 
add the attributes, for example:


-
|RuleTable Sample|   
|   |

-
| Condition   |I  | 
Action|

-
| $p : Person|   | 
  |

-
| name==$param|   ||
-
|   SomeName   | @author( Bob )   |  System.out.|
-

Neither are optimal, but just workarounds. If you raise a Jira, I can 
put on todo list.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Tihomir

Re: [rules-users] Need help with Decision Table Conditions

2011-01-10 Thread Wolfgang Laun
I would not use I / DESCRIPTION for these reasons:

   - it's not parameterized, and I think you don't want to repeat the
   @Meta(...) for every rule, you just want the argument
   - you can use only one I column, since the 2nd one silently overwrites
   the 1st one, so you'll have to squeeze multiple @s into one cell
   - it is an undocumented feature, and the name would suggest that it was
   intended for providing a comment

Adding a proper metadata column type is simple, given what is available from
other column types.

Hi Wolfgang, good points, thus I asked for a Jira so we can add proper 
support for it.
If you know of a better workaround with whats currently available let us 
know.


Thanks.

Thanks Tihomir.  I will submit a JIRA ticket for this, as I definitely could
use this feature.

Tihomir,

Do you know if decision tables support

Re: [rules-users] Need help with Decision Table Conditions

2011-01-05 Thread Jason Mihalick

Thank you so much for the posting!  All I had to do was add the 'X' character
in the cell below $pgMeta: PageMeta() and that fixed it!

When is it necessary to add the 'X' character and when is it ok to leave it
blank?  I don't recall seeing information about that in the doc.

Thanks also for the SpreadsheetCompiler code.  I didn't think
SpreadsheetCompiler was available until 5.2 because I didn't see it in the 
http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.1.1.34858.FINAL/apidocs/index.html
5.1 javadoc .

Glad it's working for you.

The cell has to exist and cannot be blank. You can put X or BLANK, 
or // whatever suites your needs. I like using X ;)

It's org.drools.decisiontable.SpreadsheetCompiler and has been available 
AFAIK since 4.0.7. It's not part of the public API in Drools 5.

[rules-users] Need help with Decision Table Conditions

2011-01-04 Thread Jason Mihalick

I have a decision table with the conditions shown in the graphic below.  When
Drools attempts to compile the spreadsheet I get the following errors:

nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to return Declaration
for identifier '$pgMeta' : [Rule name='Section Head Spacing_18']
Unable to create restriction '[VariableRestriction: == $pgMeta ]' for field
'pageMeta' in the rule 'Section Head Spacing_18' : [Rule name='Section Head
Spacing_18']
Unable to build expression for 'from' : [Error: Failed to compile: 2
compilation error(s):
 - (1,7) unqualified type in strict mode for: $pgMeta
 - (1,22) unable to resolve method using strict-mode:
java.lang.Object.getLineMetas()]
[Near : {... Unknown }]
 ^
[Line: 1, Column: 0] '$pgMeta.getLineMetas()' : [Rule name='Section Head
Spacing_18']

 
http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n2195003/Picture_2.png 

The LHS of a hand-coded rule for this, is as follows:

when
$pageMeta :  PageMeta()
$bodyLines : LineMeta( pageMeta == $pageMeta, lineType == LineType.BODY
)
 from $pageMeta.getLineMetas()
$bodyLine :  LineMeta( previousPageMetaComponent != null,
   previousPageMetaComponent == previousLineMeta,
   previousLineMeta.lineType ==
LineType.SECTION_HEAD,
   verticalSpacingToPreviousPageMetaComponent 
5.9525 ) from $bodyLines
 
Can this rule be created in a Decision table or not?  Your help is most
appreciated!
