17.14. Using Globals with JSR94 Example

Here is an example of implementing a global in JSR94: 
java.util.List globalList = new java.util.ArrayList( );
java.util.Map map = new java.util.HashMap( );
map.put( "list", globalList ); 
//Open a stateless Session
StatelessRuleSession srs =
  (StatelessRuleSession) runtime.createRuleSession( "SistersRules",
                                                    map,
                                                    RuleRuntime.STATELESS_SESSION_TYPE );
...
// Persons added to List
// call executeRules( ) giving a List of Objects as parameter
// There are rules which will put Objects in the List
// fetch the list from the map
List list = (java.util.List) map.get("list");
Do not forget to declare the global "list" in your DRL: 
package SistersRules; 
import org.drools.jsr94.rules.Person; 
global java.util.List list
rule FindSisters 
when 
    $person1 : Person ( $name1:name ) 
    $person2 : Person ( $name2:name ) 
    eval( $person1.hasSister($person2) ) 
then 
    list.add($person1.getName() + " and " + $person2.getName() +" are sisters"); 
    assert( $person1.getName() + " and " + $person2.getName() +" are sisters"); 
end
