Rule names must be globally unique, even if they come from different packages ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-593 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-593 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Drl Parser/Builder Affects Versions: 3.0.5 Environment: NA Reporter: Jeff Lansing Assigned To: Mark Proctor When 2 DRL rule files with different package names (the name following the 'package' keyword) each have a rule with the same name (the name being the quoted string that follows the 'rule' keyword), then the following exception occurs: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Rule Compilation error The type Rule_Incident__Vehicle_0 is already defined at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Unknown Source) at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(Unknown Source) at driver.RulesTest.readRule(RulesTest.java:256) This occurs when using a single org.drools.rule.Package object, as in: private void test(Reader source1, Reader source2) throws Exception { PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder(); builder.addPackageFromDrl( source1 ); builder.addPackageFromDrl( source2 ); Package pkg = builder.getPackage(); RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase(); ruleBase.addPackage( pkg ); } If, on the other hand two org.drools.rule.Package objects are used, as in: private void test2(Reader source1, Reader source2) throws Exception { PackageBuilder builder1 = new PackageBuilder(); PackageBuilder builder2 = new PackageBuilder(); builder1.addPackageFromDrl( source1 ); builder2.addPackageFromDrl( source2 ); Package pkg1 = builder1.getPackage(); Package pkg2 = builder2.getPackage(); RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase(); ruleBase.addPackage( pkg1 ); ruleBase.addPackage( pkg2 ); } then one of the identically named rules is simply ignored. In either case, rule names must be globally unique. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
