public class Pattern
extends FactBinding<Pattern>

Note: As of OBR 12, Patterns are used in simple mode have no tests.

A Pattern is used to structure rule conditions. A Pattern has a form property, one of

• FORM_NESTED_TABLE - this Pattern represents a block of Patterns. Only the nestedTable, a PatternTable, testForm, expression, simpleTestTable, connective, and operator properties of the Pattern should be used.
• FORM_FACT_TYPE - this Pattern declares a variable that matches fact types in working memory. Only the variable, factType, testForm, expression, simpleTestTable, and connective properties of the Pattern should be used. This form is the default.
• FORM_FACT_PATH - this Pattern declares variable that matches a path of joins through 0 or more List<Child> properties. It is used in Tree Mode rules to suppress display of these join SimpleTests. Property usage is as for FORM_FACT_TYPE with the additional factPath property, and the restriction that factType should not be settable except for the root Pattern.

A brief overview of Pattern properties:

• testForm - one of TEST_FORM_SIMPLE, TEST_FORM_ADVANCED, TEST_FORM_NOTEST
• simpleTestTable - used when testForm is TEST_FORM_SIMPLE
• expression - used when testForm is TEST_FORM_ADVANCED, contains a boolean expression
• factType - a visible fact type
• factPath - a path, e.g. PurchaseOrder/item
• variable - name of variable. Defaults to factType or factPath
• operator - one of OPERATOR_FOREACH (the default), OPERATOR_SOME, OPERATOR_NONE, or OPERATOR_AGGREGATE
• connective - one of CONNECTIVE_AND (the default), CONNECTIVE_OR. If a pattern follows this Pattern in a PatternTable, then it is logically connected using AND or OR.

For example, consider the following condition "no zebras are pink":

 IF
   there is no case where {
     z is a Zebra and
       z.color == "pink"
 THEN
   ...
 

Code to construct this condition:

 Pattern outer = rule.getRoot();
 outer.setForm(Pattern.FORM_NESTED_TABLE);
 outer.setOperator(Pattern.OPERATOR_NONE);
 Pattern nested = outer.getNestedTable().add();
 nested.setFactType("Zebra");
 nested.setVariable("z");
 nested.setTestForm(Pattern.TEST_FORM_SIMPLE);
 SimpleTest test = nested.getSimpleTestTable().add();
 test.getLeft().setValue("z.color");
 test.getRight().setLiteralValue("pink");
