7.3. Rule Language Comments
7.3.1. Comments
Comments are sections of text that are ignored by the rule engine. They are stripped out when they are encountered, except inside semantic code blocks (like a rule's RHS).
7.3.2. Single Line Comment Example
This is what a single line comment looks like. To create single line comments, you can use '//'. The parser will ignore anything in the line after the comment symbol:
rule "Testing Comments"
when
// this is a single line comment
eval( true ) // this is a comment in the same line of a pattern
then
// this is a comment inside a semantic code block
end
7.3.3. Multi-Line Comment Example
This is what a multi-line comment looks like. This configuration comments out blocks of text, both in and outside semantic code blocks:
rule "Test Multi-line Comments"
when
/* this is a multi-line comment
in the left hand side of a rule */
eval( true )
then
/* and this is a multi-line comment
in the right hand side of a rule */
end
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
