[SOLVED] While reading Drools Drt with some given Parameter, The condition part in rule gets disappear for the Empty String or null values

While reading Drools Drt with some given Parameter, The condition part in rule gets disappear for the Empty String or null values

While running Drools DRT with some empty values gives an error.

This is the template which we have used....

rule "Rule1_@{row.rowNumber}"
 salience @{salience}
 dialect "java"
when
      variable:Fact(Context == "@{context}")
then
      list.add("@{name}");
end

When the parameter is not empty i.e for example @{context}=="PROCESSING" the rule we get is this and its the rule which we want.

rule "Rule1_0"
 salience 1
 dialect "java"
when
      variable:Fact(Context == "PROCESSING")
then
      list.add("Task");
end

But when the parameter is empty, for example when we provide @{context}=="" empty string or null then the rule which we get is

rule "Rule1_0"
 salience 1
 dialect "java"
when

then
      list.add("Task");
end

But while refering to the document it says that == or != works same as java's java.util.Objects.equals but when we use this operator and provide null or empty values,in condition part its not working.

This is what they have written in the document:- https://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/latest/drools-docs/html_single/#_patterns_and_constraints

The == operator uses null-safe equals() semantics instead of the usual same semantics. For example, the pattern Person( firstName == "John" ) is similar to java.util.Objects.equals(person.getFirstName(), "John"), and because "John" is not null, the pattern is also similar to "John".equals(person.getFirstName()).

The != operator uses null-safe !equals() semantics instead of the usual not same semantics. For example, the pattern Person( firstName != "John" ) is similar to !java.util.Objects.equals(person.getFirstName(), "John").

I have tried all the possibilities but the answer is same for all.

Is there any solution where we can run DRT file for the parameters with empty string or null values or is there any other method to write the template, if yes then what is it.

Solution

The issue was we were giving @Context instead of @ there should be $. And when we use $ it works absolutely fine.
