SqlRuleFilter Class

public class SqlRuleFilter
extends RuleFilter

Represents a filter which is a composition of an expression and an action that is executed in the pub/sub pipeline.

A SqlRuleFilter holds a SQL-like condition expression that is evaluated in the broker against the arriving messages' user-defined properties and system properties. All system properties (which are all properties explicitly listed on the ServiceBusMessage class) must be prefixed with sys. in the condition expression. The SQL subset implements testing for existence of properties (EXISTS), testing for null-values (IS NULL), logical NOT/AND/OR, relational operators, numeric arithmetic, and simple text pattern matching with LIKE.

Sample: Create SQL rule filter with SQL rule action

The code sample below creates a rule using a SQL filter and SQL action. The rule matches messages with:

If the filter matches, it will set/update the "importance" key in getApplicationProperties() with "critical".

String topicName = "emails";
 String subscriptionName = "important-emails";
 String ruleName = "emails-from-joseph";

 RuleFilter sqlRuleFilter = new SqlRuleFilter(
     "sys.CorrelationId = 'email' AND sender = 'joseph' AND (importance IS NULL OR importance = 'high')");
 RuleAction sqlRuleAction = new SqlRuleAction("SET importance = 'critical';");
 CreateRuleOptions createRuleOptions = new CreateRuleOptions()
     .setFilter(sqlRuleFilter)
     .setAction(sqlRuleAction);

 RuleProperties rule = client.createRule(topicName, ruleName, subscriptionName, createRuleOptions);

 System.out.printf("Rule '%s' created for topic %s, subscription %s. Filter: %s%n", rule.getName(), topicName,
     subscriptionName, rule.getFilter());
