I tried to insert a value into a Hashmap() but my test case fails when I tried to put the result of an accumulate function($totals in the drl file) as the value of the Hashmap. I've also tried Integer.valueOf($totals) instead of $totals without luck.
My drl file contains:
rule "calculate total per item"
no-loop
when
$o : Order( $lines : orderLines)
$ol : OrderLine(this memberOf $lines.values() , quantity > 0)
$totals : Number(intValue > 0) from accumulate (
OrderLine($qty : quantity, item.barcode == $ol.getItem().getBarcode()) from $lines.values(),
sum($qty)
)
then
System.out.println("total: " + $totals); //prints out total: 7.0
modify($o){
getPerItems().put($ol.getItem().getBarcode(), $totals); //this line throws an error
//getPerItems().put($ol.getItem().getBarcode(), 1 ); // If I replace $totals with a number, it works
}
end
My Order class
public class Order {
private HashMap<Integer, OrderLine> orderLines = new HashMap<Integer, OrderLine>();
private HashMap<String, Integer> perItems = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
...
public HashMap<String, Integer> getPerItems() {
return perItems;
}
}
Any advice to overcome this issue?
Try this binding:
Number($totals : intValue > 0)
It would help if you add the error message verbatim to your question.
"Throws an error" - does it mean "throws an exception" or "reports an error". When and where ...?
