[rules-users] Problems count and sumarizing data in facts

Rather than having a toDouble method have a toPennies method which converts the string into an integer instead.  This would make sure that there are no rounding issues and be a bit cleaner.  BigDecimal would be another option but probably slightly more complicated.
Even better would be fix it all the way upstream but I'm guess that that probably isn't an option.

Thomas, I am aware about this issue and it is my second item in the list to fix.
The only solution I got is convert all to String and this way works OK

rule "Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       Number( $total : doubleValue) from accumulate(
               Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D",
               $monto : this["MONTO"]),
               sum(toDouble($monto)))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  $totEnc : this["MT_TOTAL"]) &&
                  not (eval(isNumEquals($totEnc, $total)))

  then
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "Error en el Detalle: El total de las lineas de detalle (" +  formatDouble($total) +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + formatDoubleObj($totEnc) + ")"));
 end


function boolean isNumEquals(Object oNum1, double num2) {
  return formatDoubleObj(oNum1).equals(formatDouble(num2));
}

function String formatDouble(double d) {
  return (new DecimalFormat("#,###.00")).format(d);
}

function String formatDoubleObj(Object obj) {
  return formatDouble(toDouble(obj));
}

The "isNumEquals" compare the numbers by comparing their String representations.

yes, I think this is not so elegant and I would like a better solutions...

Regards

Well done for getting this working shame how complex it has to be. It would be nice/very very useful if drools provided a simple way of converting between numeric strings and numbers as I've also faced this problem before and it seems to require really big ugly hacks to work round the issue.

With respect to your solution I'd still reiterate the point I made in the post below about the fact that you may not get the result you are expecting,
As 0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1 != 1.0 you may get spurious error messages when you shouldn't.

Thanks Enda.
Yes, I read carefully the docs and understand that eval expected a boolena expression.
I succesfully change the rule to :

rule "Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       Number( $total : doubleValue) from accumulate(
               Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D",
               $monto : this["MONTO"]),
               sum(toDouble($monto)))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  $totEnc : this["MT_TOTAL"]) &&
                  eval(toDouble($totEnc) != $total)

  then
    System.out.println("Encabezado:" + toDouble($totEnc) + ", Detalle=" + $total);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "Error en el Detalle: El número del lineas de detalle (" +  $total +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + $map.get("NU_REGISTROS") + ")"));
 end


Where "toDouble" is a function :

function double toDouble(Object oMonto) {
   String strMonto = oMonto.toString();
   int len = strMonto.length();
   int pos = len - 2;

   strMonto = StringUtils.left(strMonto, pos) + "." + StringUtils.right(strMonto,2);

   //return Double.valueOf(strMonto)  ;
    double d = Double.parseDouble(strMonto);

   return d;
}


Thanks to Enda and Thomas for help me to solve this...

Hi Yamil,

'eval()' expects a primitive boolean value as a result of the expression. You may need to look into creating a custom accumulate function that can accept a string and do the conversion in java. Have a look at section 6.5.2.10.1 Accumulate Function in the Drools documentation:

http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/4.0.7.19894.GA/html_single/index.html

Alternatively, you could change the type of your map to something like Map<String, Double>

Hope it helps,

I rewrote as :

rule "Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       Number( $total : doubleValue) from accumulate(
               Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D",
               $monto : this["MONTO"]),
               sum(eval(toDouble($monto))))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  this["MT_TOTAL"] != $total)
  then
    System.out.println("TOTAL=" + $total);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),

 end

Where "toDouble" is :

function Double toDouble(Object oMonto) {
   String strMonto = oMonto.toString();
   int len = strMonto.length();
   int pos = len - 3;

   strMonto = StringUtils.left(strMonto, pos) + "." + StringUtils.right(strMonto,2);

   return Double.valueOf(strMonto)  ;

}

And I got

Rule Compilation error : [Rule name='Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header']

Have you tried assigning the string to $monto and then performing the evel within the sum?

Thanks Thomas.

I rewrote the rule as:

but I am getting errors in the parseDouble:

Any hint...

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Problems count and sumarizing data in facts
To convert from string to double you have to full back to java:
Something along the lines  of
$monto : eval(Double.parseDouble(this.get("MONTO")))

However even with doing this your rules are unlikely to work consistently as you expect.  Using equality tests on doubles is fundamentally unsafe as doubles aren't represented exactly and may not exactly match the value you think you have.  Force instance 0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1 != 1.0 (dependent on floating point chipset etc).  If you are dealing with currency then it is far simpler and safer to just operate with integers and divide by 100 when you want to display the value.  The other alternative is to use BigDecimal which will store an exact representation but will probably require more work with getting your accumulate function correct.  Your last option is to use Math.abs(left-right) < 0.1 to see if they are approximately equal.  More details can be found here http://firstclassthoughts.co.uk/java/traps/java_double_traps.html

I solved the counting of detail lines this way:

rule "Contador de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       Number($count : intValue) from accumulate(
              $mp : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D"), count($mp))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  this["NU_REGISTROS"] != $count)
  then
    System.out.println("NumRecs=" + $count);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "El número del lineas de detalle (" + $count +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + $map.get("NU_REGISTROS") + ")"));
 end

However, I still got problem with summarize the amounts. I wrote

rule "Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       Number( $total : doubleValue) from accumulate(
               Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D",
               $monto : ((Number) this["MONTO"]),
               sum($monto)))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  this["MT_TOTAL"] != $total)
  then
    System.out.println("TOTAL=" + $total);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "Error en el Detalle: El número del lineas de detalle (" +  $total +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + $map.get("NU_REGISTROS") + ")"));
 end

And i am getting  mismatched input" so my question is how to convert a string to double in this line "$monto : ((Number) this["MONTO"])," ?

TIA

Subject: [rules-users] Problems count and sumarizing data in facts

Hi, I have two kind of facts in a map.
There is a field called _TYPE_ (H)eader, D)etail)
In the Header line I have two String fields, one for the number of details lines ("NU_REGISTROS") and another for the sum of the detail line ("MT_TOTAL")
In the detail lines I only have a String field called "MONTO"

I would like to build two rules. One to check the count of detail lines versus the field in the header line so I wrote :

rule "Contador de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       $numRecs : Number()
                from accumulate(Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D", $d : this["_NUMLINE_"]), count($d))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  this["NU_REGISTROS"] != $numRecs)
  then
    System.out.println("NumRecs=" + $numRecs);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "Error en el Detalle: El número del lineas de detalle (" +  $total +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + $map.get("NU_REGISTROS") + ")"));
 end

 However I always got "NumRecs=1" when i print out the value of $numRecs but I am absolute sure there is two details lines...

 Second when i try to sumarize the total field in the details line i got (MONTO in the detail line is a string):

 rule "Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header"
  salience 10
  when
       $total : Number()
                from accumulate(Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "D",
                                $monto : this["MONTO"]),
                                sum(eval(Double.valueOf((String) $monto ))))
       $map : Map(this["_TYPE_"] == "H",
                  this["MT_TOTAL"] != $total)
  then
    System.out.println("TOTAL=" + $total);
    listBitacora.add(new BitacoraDTO($map.get("_NUMLINE_"),
                                          "Error en el Detalle: El número del lineas de detalle (" +  $total +
                                          ") no empareja con lo del encabezado (" + $map.get("NU_REGISTROS") + ")"));
 end

 but I got
 Rule Compilation error : [Rule name='Sumatoria de lineas detalle vs Header']
        rule/Rule_Sumatoria_de_lineas_detalle_vs_Header_0.java (9:1313) : The method eval(Double) is undefined for the type Rule_Sumatoria_de_lineas_detalle_vs_Header_0



 Any help in those tow problems

 TIA
