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

Drools + Spring
by Abu Rasheed
Are there any plans to have Spring support in drools-api? The last mail that
I saw in searching the topic is dated last year, and there are no new
postings related to this.
Does anyone have any success in injecting KnowledgeBase into their apps
using Spring? Is there any examples out there that I can refer to?
Thanks

drools compiler issue
by Abu Rasheed
I'm using the Drools 5.0.0 M5, with Guvnor, when I tried to save and
validate my configuration, I got this error:
[ERR 102] Line 5:63 mismatched input '-'
It's pointing to this line:
import <my pachage path>.package-info
Does drools support package with "-" characters? The package is part of
jaxws generated artifacts.
Thanks

Drools in Google App Engine
by Paul Browne
Folks,
Are there any plans to tweak Drools to allow it to run in a security
constrained environment such as Google App Engine or Applets? I know some of
the other JBoss.org projects have this on the 'todo' list.
When I try to load a simple web application using drools into the Google App
Engine, I get the error below.The app itself is the sample 8 from the
following web page, but tweaked according to the Google 'howto' to get it up
and running in the app engine; http://code.google.com/p/red-piranha/
My understanding of the problem is that drools is using File access to check
if the configuration file exists the first time it is run. This is
constrained in App Engine - just like the J2EE spec says it should be
(although most other app servers allow you to get away with this!). I know
that if I tweak the source code there will be other points where similar
file access is required.
While not trivial, would it be possible to add a one-line check for that the
user has permission to do file.io before calling File.Exists (the
alternative , of catching and ignoring the AccessControlException is ugly!).
The hardest part of this is that the check would need to be added at
multiple points in the Drools source code.
Any thoughts / comments/ suggestions?
Paul

mvel memory use
by Greg Barton
I've been analyzing the performance of a little side project I'm doing with drools, and I've noticed that mvel churns through a huge number of HashMap creations when evaluating expressions. The main problem is in the org.mvel2.integration.impl.ClassImportResolverFactory constructor, which is called every time org.drools.base.mvel.MVELPredicateExpression.evaluate() is called. (Which is, of course, a LOT.) In my case I'm seeing the vast majority of activity in org.drools.rule.PredicateConstraint.isAllowedCachedRight(), so maybe this is something controllable by changing a rule, but I'm not sure. I've watched literally gigabytes per second of HashMap.Entry objects being created. Is there some way around this? I know this may be a better question for the mvel dev list, but I wanted to bring it to your attention.

NPE in AbstractWorkingMemory.update
by Greg Barton
At seemingly random times I'm getting this exception:
Exception in thread "Thread-5" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.update(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:1387)
at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.update(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:1350)
at org.drools.concurrent.UpdateObject.execute(UpdateObject.java:46)
at org.drools.concurrent.CommandExecutor.run(CommandExecutor.java:78)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
I've only gotten the exception when using StatefulSession.asyncUpdate() from a separate thread.
AbstractWorkingMemory.java:1387 is wrapped in an if statement that checks whether maintainTms==true, so setting that to false has apparently avoided the problem. (Can't be 100% sure, but it has been runnign for a few hours without exception.) The FactHandles I'm passing in to StatefulSession.asyncUpdate() are never null, so I can only guess that InternalFactHandle.getEqualityKey() is sometimes returning false.
Do you want a JIRA on this? I can't recreate it reliably.

null. null. InternalFactHandle.getEqualityKey() is sometimes returning null. :)

Deadline Extension for 2nd edBPM 2009, June 7

Call for Papers
edBPM 09
2nd International Workshop on Event-Driven Business Process Management
7 September 2009, Ulm, Germany
http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de
-------------------------------
Information about the workshop
-------------------------------
The recently coined term "Event-Driven Business Process Management" (EDBPM)
is nowadays an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by new
concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture
(EDA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and
Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context BPM means a software
platform which provides companies the ability to model, manage, and optimize
these processes for significant gain. As an independent system, CEP is a
parallel running platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and
the CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the
BPM-workflow engine and by the ? if distributed - IT services which are
associated with the business process steps. Also events coming from
different event sources in different forms can trigger a business process or
influence the execution of the process or a service, which can result in
another event. Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular
context can be treated as a complex, business level event, relevant for the
execution of other business processes or services. A business process -
arbitrarily fine or coarse grained - can be seen as a service again and can
be "choreographed" with other business processes or services, even between
different enterprises and organisations.
Loosely coupled event-driven architecture for BPM provides important
benefits:
- Responsiveness. Events can occur at any time from any source and Processes
respond to them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they happen.
- Agility. New processes can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and
optimized more quickly in response to changing business requirements.
- Flexibility. Processes can span heterogeneous platforms and programming
languages. Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without
breaking the process model.
Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned
problem domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not
limited to:
- Event-driven BPM: Concepts e.g. Role of event processing in BPM, Business
Events: types and representation, Event stream processing in business
processes, Data- and event-driven business processes
- Design-time CEP and BPM e.g. Modelling events in human-oriented tasks,
Semantics/Ontologies for event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing.
- Run-time CEP and BPM e.g. Event pattern detection, BPEL and event
processing, Reasoning about unknown/similar events
- Applications/Use cases for event-driven BPM e.g. Event-driven
monitoring/BAM , Event-driven SLA monitoring
-------------------------------
Submission
-------------------------------
The following types of submission are solicited:
- Long paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel
ongoing work. Long papers should be at most 12 pages long.
- Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should
be at most 6 pages long.
Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have
to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted
elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of
the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an
indication of the submission category (Long Paper/ Short Paper). Papers can
be uploaded via the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on
the workshop homepage (http://icep-edbpm09.fzi.de).
Selected papers will be published in the Special issue in Journal of
Software Process Improvement and Practice for selected BPM 2009 workshop
papers.
