[rules-dev] Need to Exit from DRL without using drools.halt()

[Anstis, Michael (M.)]

You could simply add a "processed" flag and change your rules...
 
rule "Amount Validation-Rule1"
    when
        $c : Claims(amount >= ( maxClaimAmount), processed = false )
    then
        $c.setMessage ( "The total amount claimed exceeds the maximum
permitted by the Policy" );
        $c.setProcessed(true);
        update($c);
end
    
Otherwise the updates are causing the fact to be re-accessed by the RETE
network.
 
Alternatively you could use a ClaimOutcome object...
 
rule "Amount Validation-Rule1"
    when
        $c : Claims(amount >= ( maxClaimAmount))
        not ClaimOutcome(claim = $c)
    then
        ClaimOutcome co = new ClaimOutcome($c, "The total amount claimed
exceeds the maximum permitted by the Policy" );
        insert(co);
end
 
With kind regards,
 
Mike

	Hi All,
	I have small doubt in the DRL file execution. I have developing
the small Claims application. I have 4 rules in my application. Below
are the rules I have declared in the drl file based on the rules.
	 
	Claims.drl 
	rule "Amount Validation-Rule1"
	        when 
	             $c : Claims(amount >= ( maxClaimAmount) )
	        then
	             $c.setMessage ( "The total amount claimed exceeds
the maximum permitted by the
	
Policy" ); 
	              update($c);
	end
	 
	rule "Expired Policy-Rule2" 
	        when
	            $c : Claims( currentDate > ( policyExpireDate ))
	        then
	            $c.setMessage( "Your Policy has been expired" ); 
	     update($c);
	end
	 
	rule "Feature Date-Rule3" 
	        when
	              $c : Claims( claimDate >= ( currentDate ) )
	        then
	        
	              $c.setMessage( "Rejecting the claim because the
date on the claim is in the future" );                     
	       update($c);
	end
	 
	and my java class is 
	Claims.java
	 
	// Setting the values to Claims object
	Claims rule = new Claims ();
	rule.setAmount(amount);
	rule.setClaimsHospitalStayeddays(claimsHospitalStayeddays);
	rule.setClaimDate(claimDate);
	rule.setCurrentDate(currentDate);
	rule.setDaysPermitted(daysPermitted);
	rule.setPolicyExpireDate(policyExpireDate);
	rule.setCurrentDate(currentDate);
	rule.setMaxClaimAmount(maxClaimAmount);
	 
	StatefulSession workingMemory = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
	workingMemory.insert(rule);
	workingMemory.fireAllRules();
	
	 
	If my first rule is fails then it is displaining in the messaege
I managed to get that value in my java class. If the condition is not
satisfied then is fell into the infinte loop. Again and again it is
calling, not coming from that loop. If I keep the drools.halt(); at the
end of the rule then it is executing. 
	My question - Is there any alternate method is there to come out
from infinte loop without using drools.halt(); method? Why it is fell
into the infinite loop?
	 
	Thanks, 
	Sarath Kumar Daruru
