在drools规则条件中使用日期进行比较

系统默认支持dd-MMM-yyyy格式．
规则条件编写如下：

$dateInputBox : DateInputBox(verifyDate > "12-Oct-2005")

日期设置如下：

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-mmm-yyyy",Locale.US);
String s = df.format(new Date());
dateInputBox.setVerifyDate(df.parse(s));

不知道为什么就出现Exception,内容如下：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid date input format: [12-Oct-2005] it should follow: [dd-MMM-yyyy]

不知道有谁有经验的，帮忙说明下！

后来我通过设置drools.dateformat，让系统支持dd-MM-yyyy,这样就可以了，代码如下：
drl文件:

$dateInputBox : DateInputBox(verifyDate > "12-12-2005")

java代码:

String format = "dd-MM-yyyy";
System.setProperty("drools.dateformat", format);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
dateInputBox.setVerifyDate(df.parse("12-12-2008"));
