95. What is the difference between a declarative rule and a procedural rule ?

Procedural rule: in this model the developer decides when a piece of

processing needs to happen, writes the code, and then explicitly calls in the
appropriate situation to invoke that processing. In simple words these rules
need to be explicitly referred.

Declarative rule: In this model, we define or declare what processing to be

performed in a declarative rule. The PRPC automatically invokes that rule
when ever appropriate, depending on the rule type.

Differentiate between Edit Input Value , Edit Validate and the

Property Stream fields while you create the property. Explain the difference
preferably with example

Ans:-

Edit input values converts automatically format of the user input. For
example toUppperCase ( when user enteres any case it would be
converted to upper case )
Edit validate : Validates the user input and flags the error if this is not
as per the format ( For example isFutureDate, if user enteres the
future date for DOB, it flags the errors)
Property Stream(HTML Property rule) : This is to specify the propertys
format both in input mode and output mode when it appears on UI

272.
Assume we have a property called Grade. We want to restrict user
input for this property only to five values i.e., A, B, C, D, E All these
grades to appear as values in a drop down. List down atleast two possible
approaches for achieving this

1) Field Value
2) Local List

array of embedded pages ( Opens multiple instances )
275.
