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.

audit logging: instant and appendable log
by Oleg Zenzin
Hi,as I've mentioned in my prev posting I'm trying to generate audit log,
and currently use drools 4.0.4.This time I have actually two questions:
1. Use of WorkingMemoryFileLogger seems to be dedicated to StatefulSession -
there's no way to keep the same log file for multiple StatelessSession
invocations.
2. Drools Eclipse plugin provides pretty nice Audit View which reads the
generated audit log file. The log file is in fact a serialized
java.util.ArrayList in form of xml. Problem is that being a well formed xml
this log file does not allow simply append new event to the end: to keep it
well formed xml I have to either completely re-write it each time a new
event is added or complicate the procedure with read the closing tag </List>
to insert the new event before. But even re-writing does not solve the
problem: the hierarchy of WorkingMemoryLogger does not allow add it to
multiple StatelessSession 's as a listener (see the constructor).
Question: is there a solution in later versions? Would you like me to
suggest my code here?
Thanks!

audit logging: better describe facts
by Oleg Zenzin
Best greatings to drools community!
I'm using drools 4.0.4, my current aim is to generate audit log.
Using *WorkingMemoryLogger* and Drools Eclipse IDE Audit View I was able to
fulfil the requirement. Looks pretty nice, thanx for your work!
I have a couple of notes, but think it's better to keep them under different
threads. The first one is about *facts* output. Currently *
WorkingMemoryLogger* uses *toString()* to output information about
*facts*inserted, updated or retracted. In addition there's information
about
*facts* in ActivationLogEvent, collected again using *toString() *default
method. In my code I've implemented simple static method to introspect *fact
* objects and produce Map<String, Object> of properties. That made the log
much more informative.
Question: are there any enhacements (planned) in next versions of Drools?
Would you like me contribute my code into the *WorkingMemoryLogger*?
Thanks!

RE: [rules-users] Compatibility of Rule Flows from 4.0.7 to 5.0.0
by Nimesh Muley
Hi,
By going through the code it seems possible to achieve this by modifying ProcessBuilder.addProcessFromFile. Easiest check would be to see whether the XML contains element called as "process". Since XML Parsing is internal to the individual releases (4.0 uses XStream and 5.0 uses XMLReader), I am not sure whether we should form a XML document from the reader to check if the process belongs to version 4.0 or compliant.
Brute force check would be indexOf ("<process") >= 0 then it is 5.0 else 4.0 ;-). I am sure there would be better ways than this kind of check.
I do not mind taking this further. Due to lack of in depth knowledge about drools, I am not able to decide what the approach should be for checking the version.
This would be a really good feature as it would mean that drools 5.0 is backward compliant for rule flows J. And this adds lot of confidence to enterprises.
p.s. Since this was now moving towards dev, I have moved the thread to the dev mailing list.
Thanks.

You are a star, that saves us a lot of work :) I'm wondering if we can work this into the package reader and some how have it detect whether something is version 4 or 5 and convert first if it's 4, fancy having a look and seeing if that's possible?

Hi,
I have attached a file for translating rule flows from 4.0 to 5.0. I have tested my flows with the XSL and it works fine. However, the XSLT may not be quite slick or compact as I have touched upon XSLT after a long time. I have covered all the nodes available (ruleSet, start, end, join, split, milestone, action and subProcess).
There is one issue in the XSLT. I have not added the xmlns attribute to the process element. Reason is that this attribute appears in child nodes too with empty string, even though it is not mentioned for the child nodes. This attribute is needed in the 'process' node because the Eclipse editor for 5.0 ignores the process node if there are more than 2 sub processes in that ruleflow. Am not sure why this is happening but that has been my observation.
In case XSLT is not present as an attachment then let me know the location where it can be uploaded.
Thanks.

No they are not compatible, 5.0 has a new ePDL XML language that is human writable. I suggest that somone in the community starts looking into an XSLT to translate them.

Hi All,
I wanted to know if RuleFlows made using the Eclipse 4.0.7 RuleFlow Builder will work with 5.0.0. When, I try to upload a 4.0.7 ruleflow into Guvnor, I get a NullPointerException and before that the following:
Cannot find the declaration of element 'org.drools.ruleflow.core.impl.RuleFlowProcessImpl'.
I checked the 5.0.0M1 jars for drools-core, and this class seems to have been removed from there. Also, after installing the 5.0.0 plug-in into Eclipse, my rule-flow nodes have all gone.
Also, this may be a minor bug but it says(both in the docs and the BRMS Guvnor M1 Release):
"Ruleflows allow flow control between rules. The eclipse plugin provides a graphical editor. Upload ruleflow .rf files for inclusion in this package.":
Should the .rf say .rfm ?

Drools 5 and XML
by Mark Proctor
The core Drools team will not have time to update the xml xsd's and
parser for the 5.0 release. The XML will continue to work, but you won't
be able to use any of the new features, and thus restricted to 4.0 level
features. If anyone from the community wants to take this on, then
please do, otherwise it'll have to wait until a later date after 5.0
when the core devs can work on this.

REMINDER: AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent Event Processing 2009
by paschke＠mi.fu-berlin.de
[ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ]
AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent Event Processing
AAAI Spring Symposium Wednesday, March 23?25, 2009 at Stanford University
http://icep-aaai09.fzi.de/
Deadline for submissions: October 31st, 2008 (12.00 AM, GMT)
=====================================================================
Event-based systems are now gaining increasing momentum as witnessed
by current efforts in areas including event-driven architectures,
business process management and modeling, Grid computing, Web services
notifications, and message-oriented middleware. They become ever
important in various application domains, ranging from traditional
business applications, like supply-chain management, to the
entertainment industry, like on-line gaming applications.
However, the current status of development is just the tip of the
iceberg compared with the impact that event processing could achieve,
as already reported by market research companies. Indeed, existing
approaches are dealing primarily with the syntactical (but very
scalable) processing of low-level signals and primitive actions, which
usually goes with an inadequate treatment of the notions of time,
context or concurrency (for example, synchronization). For example,
some of the current event processing products are descendents of the
active database research that misses efficient (formal) handling of
termination, priority ordering, and confluence in rule bases.
AI and especially symbolic (for example, logic-based) approaches
provide native background for the (formal) representation of the above
mentioned missing concepts, enabling evolution from event processing
systems into intelligent reactive systems. The work done in temporal
logic, spatial reasoning, knowledge representation, ontologies, and so
on enables more declarative representation of events and actions and
their semantic processing. Contextual reasoning can support complex
event prediction. Transactional logic can be used for ensuring the
consistency between highly dependent processes in a formal way.
On the other side, the heterogeneous and highly distributed nature of
event-processing systems, especially on the web, provides new
challenges for AI and logics, like the contextualized reasoning over
large stream data, scalable mapping of complex structures, or
distributed approximate reasoning, to name but a few.
Possible symposium topics comprise, but are not limited to:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Modeling
