Guided Editor in BRMS / Guvnor Version 5 (Snapshot of 26 June)
by Paul Browne
Folks,
For various reasons I'm trying out the Guided Editor for Business Rules in
the Guvnor Version 5 (Snapshot of 26 June from Hudson, deployed on JBoss App
Server 4.2.2GA).
I've created the Package / Category and uploaded a simple fact model (as
works in BRMS version 4). I create a new business rule using the guided
editor and the screen shows successfully with both 'When' and 'Then'
parts.Assume the next question is due to me missing something, but wanted to
double check:
When I press the green '+' to the right of the screen I am shown the message
/ dialog layer saying '
*Add a condition to the rule... *or* Add an action to the rule.
*Problem is that there doesn't appear to be a way of adding a condition or
action. The only thing I'm seeing in the logs is
* (Contexts.java:flushAndDestroyContexts:335) could not discover
transaction status
*Am I missing something or should I come back to Guvnor later in the
development Cycle?
Thanks

Can drools continue testing even if one of the conditions fail ?
by DroolUser
Hi,
I'm using drools for testing if the few attributes of my MO are not null.
I construct the rule in the .drl file in following way :
rule "name"
when
condition1
condition2
condition3
condition4
then
consequence
end
I have observed that the drool engine verifies the conditions line by line
(in the sequence they have written). The moment condition fails, control
comes back to the calling method.
I don't want this. I want the control to execute each and every condition
whether true or false and maintain a record of passed/failed conditions.
Something like this :
rule "name"
when
condition1
log the test result --- This statement should get executed
even if condition 1 fails and control should go to condition 2
condition2
log the test result
condition3
log the test result
condition4
log the test result
then
consequence
end
Is this possible in Drools ?

CALL FOR Contributions
Rule Representation, Interchange and Reasoning in Distributed,
Heterogeneous Environments
Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
Guest Editors: N. Bassiliades, G. Governatori, A. Paschke, J.
Dix
===========================================================================
In recent years rule based technologies have enjoyed remarkable
adoption in two areas: (1) Business Rule Processing and (2)
Web-Centered Reasoning. The first trend is caused by the software
development life cycle, which needs to be accelerated at reduced cost.
The second trend is related to the Semantic Web and Service-oriented
technologies, which aim to turn the Web into a huge repository of
cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and processes. For both
trends, rules can be used to extract, derive, transform, and integrate
information in a platform-independent manner.
While early rule engines and environments were complex, expensive to
maintain, and not very user friendly, the current generation of rule
technology provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance,
and is less costly. A general advantage of using rules is that they
are usually represented in a platform independent manner, often using
XML. This fits well into today's distributed, heterogeneous Web-based
system environments.
Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered,
interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and
can be interpreted and executed on any platform.
This special issue solicits state-of-the-art approaches, solutions and
applications in the area of Rule Representation, Reasoning and
Interchange in the context of distributed, (partially) open,
heterogeneous environments, such as the Semantic Web, Intelligent
Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented
Computing. We strongly advise that solicited contributions should
clearly identify the target class of applications they enable.

Guvnor problem

Hi guys,
I'm very new to Guvnor and Drools and all these exciting tools.
I'm working my way through the example that I found here:
http://www.jboss.org/feeds/post/jboss_drools_how_to_tuning_guvnor_part_1
and everything was just fine and dandy until I had to run the java code!
Unfortunately, I get the following output:

Drools WM persistence
by Nestor Tarin Burriel
Hi all,
I'm testing drools and I wonder to persist the working memory.
How does drools do it? There is a possibitity of persisting it into a DDBB?

RE: [rules-dev] Dealing with null pointer exceptions thrown by parsing rules
by Zevenbergen, Alex
Thanks for replying.
rule "Player 1 wins first set "
when
$f : Fact()
eval ($f.getDetails().get("END_SET").toString() == "true" &&
Integer.valueOf($f.getDetails().get("SET").toString()) == 1 &&
Integer.valueOf($f.getDetails().get("PLAYER1_SCORE").toString()) >
Integer.valueOf($f.getDetails().get("PLAYER2_SCORE").toString()))
then
//then settle selection;
end
this rules runs perfectly as long as the hashmap contained in the 'fact'
object has all the required keys and their values are not null. For the
time being I have just changed any null values to a value of 'DEFAULT'
but it would be preferable to be able to look for
f.getDetails().get("END_SET") (for example) knowing that the engine that
sent it might not be in an end_set state so may not have added that key.
That example is very basic but as I create more rules for more sports it
could become very cumbersome to have to ensure that every key referenced
in the rules is in the hashmap each time!

I understand what you are saying Alex, but could you post an example
rule to see exactly how you are doing it? It may be that you could
simply rewrite the rule so you don't get the NPE.

Hi all,
I have started writing my rules packages and so have had a decent amount
of success. However all my rules are based on value pairs from a hashmap
object that is contained within my fact object. This approach works fine
if the parameter the rule is looking for is in the map and has a value.
But I will need to be able to pass null values to the rules (and expect
them to just not fire any rule that looks for that param), however this
always throws a null pointer exception.
So my question is: Is there any mechanism to deal with this in drools.
Simply setting all nulls to a default value isn't preferable in this
situation as the app is going to be used by several different sources
and has to be able to take in many different types of info.
Thanking you,
