3.3 RL Command-Line Built-in Commands

This section lists commands that are implemented by the RL command-line interface these commands are not part of RL. Thus, these commands cannot appear in blocks or be included rulesets.

3.3.1 Clear Command

Discard the current RuleSession object and allocate a new one. The effect is that all rules, variables, classes, and functions are discarded. Instead of using clear; to restart a command-line you can also type exit; and then reissue the Java command to start another command-line. Table 3–1 RL Command-Line Options Flag Description –i Read rulesets from the file named by the next argument, instead of from the default, System.in. For example, -i myInput.rl Note: the command-line segments its input into blocks and then feeds each block to the interpreter. If the file myInput.rl does not include a closing brace or semicolon at the end, then, no error is raised because the command line waits for additional input before it does a full parse of the block. Thus, there are cases where an incomplete input file supplied using the –i option could run and execute the valid part of the code from the file myInput.rl, and exit, while still waiting for command line input. –c Executes the next argument as the first RL command, then start reading input. This option is useful to include a file of settings and functions for debugging. For example, -c include file:debugSettings.rl; If you do not want to read from the input after executing the command, include exit; after the command. For example, -c include file:script.rl; exit; –p Sets the next argument as the prompt string. For example, -p RL -o Specifies where to write output from println, watch, and show to the file named by the next argument, instead of to System.out. For example: –o debug.log –v Print version information. 3-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Language Reference Guide for Oracle Business Rules

3.3.2 Exit Command

Exit the command-line interface. The command-line interface also exits when end-of-file is reached on its input. 4 Using a RuleSession 4-1 4 Using a RuleSession This chapter includes the following sections: ■ Section 4.1, RuleSession Constructor Properties ■ Section 4.2, RuleSession Methods ■ Section 4.3, RL to Java Type Conversion ■ Section 4.4, Error Handling ■ Section 4.5, RL Class Reflection ■ Section 4.6, XML Navigation ■ Section 4.7, Obtaining Results from a Rule Enabled Program ■ Section 4.8, Debugging an RL Stacktrace ■ Section 4.9, Using RuleSession Pooling ■ Section 4.10, Using RuleSession Options 4-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Language Reference Guide for Oracle Business Rules
