Setting up the Data sources for decision tables sample

You use the samples console to set up the data sources for decision tables collections sample.

About this task

This sample extends the Rule Designer API and the required sample plug-ins are delivered as pre-deployed.

Procedure

To import the dtpopulate sample:

  1. Switch to the Samples Console perspective.
  2. In the Samples and Tutorials view, navigate to Rule Designer > Samples > Authoring extensions > Data sources for decision tables and click Import projects. If one or more files already exist in your workspace, Rule Designer displays a warning message.

    Rule Explorer displays the imported sample project files:

    • dtpopulate-rule. The target sample rule project. This project contains the decision table to populate.
    • dtpopulate-xom. A Java™ project containing the execution model of dtpopulate-rule.
    • dtpopulate-application. A Java project including an Ant build file (build.xml) which contains different Ant tasks used to demonstrate different execution scenarios.
    Note: The target init.runtime was added in the build.xml file to help Eclipse set the runtime properties: os (operating system), ws (window system) and arch (architecture) before running the sample. This works for most common configurations. If it does not match your runtime environment, you can modify the Ant target to force the values of these properties.
