Chapter 10. Functions


10.1. Functions

Functions are a way to put semantic code in a rule source file, as opposed to in normal Java classes. The main advantage of using functions in a rule is that you can keep the logic all in one place. You can change the functions as needed.
Functions are most useful for invoking actions on the consequence (then) part of a rule, especially if that particular action is used repeatedly.
