[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-2700) Allow setting a global variable (for example a service) which can be used by the score rules

Geoffrey De Smet commented on JBRULES-2700:
-------------------------------------------
@Henrik That scenario makes sense.
Here's solution proposal A:
DroolsScoreDirectorFactory gets a Map<String, Object> globalVariablesToInjectMap
for every entry in that map, DroolsScoreDirector injects them (key = global variable name,
value = instance to inject) when creating a new working memory.
ScoreDirectorFactoryConfig gets a Map<String, Object>
droolsGlobalVariablesToInjectMap.
Database connections in XML won't work well (because the connection will never get
closed), so the use of droolsGlobalVariablesToInjectMap would call for the use of API
configuration (see manual), which is fine.
Chapter-Score_calculation.xml should document how to use it, preferably with a connection
based example. It should clearly state that all global variables must be thread-safe.
Open questions: Is the thead-safe requirement doable? In some cases they might need to
hack it with ThreadLocals.
Currently this is not a priority for me, but pull requests are welcome :)

Key: JBRULES-2700
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2700
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: drools-planner
Reporter: Wouter Horré
Assignee: Geoffrey De Smet
Currently, it is not possible to set a global variable in the working memory used by the
solver. If a scoring rule needs an external helper for calculating scores (e.g. a
dependency injected with OSGi DS), a workaround using a static variable in some class
accessible by the scoring rules is needed.
The easiest implementation is probably a new method in the Solver interface:
public WorkingMemory getWorkingMemory();
which provides access to the working memory used by the solver.
