Sample Rule template

Description of problem:

When creating rules using "New Rule Template" feature and filling in values of template keys, the rules are generated, even for template data rows, that contain blank cells.

However the official documentation (BRMS User Guide: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_BRMS_Platform/5/html-single/5.3.1_Release_Notes/index.html) states:

"..One row of data is used for the template keys for a single rule. Each row of data becomes an instance of the rule. If any cells for a row are left blank, a rule for the applicable row is not generated."



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version 5.3.1.BRMS-ER4


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the sample repository provided with BRMS platform (mortgages) I created new Rule Template as shown in the attached screenshot (1)
2. The Template data table is filled as in screenshot 2 (notice the 3 incomplete lines)
3. You click on "Source" > "View source" to se what rules got generated


Actual results:
There are 4 rules generated (1 per each line of template data). See screenshot 3. The rules are both validated and verified successfully (Source > Validate / Verify), but 3 of the 4 rules should not have been generated in the first place.

Expected results:
Only 1 rule should be generated, because 3 of the 4 lines in templated data are not complete. (as per documentation: If any cells for a row are left blank, a rule for the applicable row is not generated.)
