| .dsl |
A file containing a DSL definition is customarily given the extension
.dsl. It is passed to the Knowledge Builder with ResourceType.DSL. For a file using DSL definition, the extension .dslr should be used. The Knowledge Builder expects ResourceType.DSLR. The IDE, however, relies on file extensions to correctly recognize and work with your rules file.

# definitions for conditions
[when][]There is an? {entity}=${entity!lc}: {entity!ucfirst}()
[when][]- with an? {attr} greater than {amount}={attr} <= {amount!num}
[when][]- with a {what} {attr}={attr} {what!positive?>0/negative?%lt;0/zero?==0/ERROR}

| DSL passing |
The DSL must be passed to the Knowledge Builder ahead of any rules file using the DSL.
For parsing and expanding a DSLR file the DSL configuration is read and supplied to the parser. Thus, the parser can "recognize" the DSL expressions and transform them into native rule language expressions.

KnowledgeBuilder kBuilder = new KnowledgeBuilder(); Resource dsl = ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource( dslPath, getClass() ); kBuilder.add( dsl, ResourceType.DSL ); Resource dslr = ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource( dslrPath, getClass() ); kBuilder.add( dslr, ResourceType.DSLR ); |
