Orthogonal Language Design: How Not to Do It
by Edson Tirelli
A quick note on language orthogonality.
http://www.brcommunity.com/b359.php
We've put a great effort on improving language orthogonality in 4.0, but
we still have a few corners to round... plz feel free to bring such issues
to our attention.

RuleFlow group as default or MAIN?
by Felipe Piccolini
Is there anyway to set a default ruleflow-group or a MAIN one so I
can put rules without
ruleflow-group in the same drl as those with ruleflow-group defined
and use a .rf where I define
a flow in the way that all rules without ruleflow-group (MAIN/
DEFAULT) are fired and then a
specific ruleflow-group?
In this way could be not necessary to use session.startProcess
("my_ruleflowgroup") in java, just
call fireAllRules() and design the process creating a RuleFlowGroup
called/id as "MAIN".
Actually I can do this programatic, but I'm forced to put ruleflow-
group in every rule... if I dont wanna to
group some rules in a specific ruleflow-group I have to call them as
ruleflow-group "MAIN"... and I dont
wanna the business people to worry about flows when they write rules
if they dont need to...
Thanks.

no-loop
by Shai Bentin
I have a rule which I've added 'no-loop' to.
In RHS is change properties on a bean I have in the working memeory. I use a propertyChange listener to notify the working memory of this change. As I understand, by using 'no loop' in the rule, after being activated that first time it should not have run again, but it does and I get an endless loop.
here is an example: This rule was written in drools 3.0.6 but currently we are running on the lates 4GA release
rule "seniority_11"
salience 70
activation-group "seniority"
agenda-group "borrowers"
no-loop true
when
borrower:BorrowerLocal()
eval (borrower:getSeniorityAtWork() == null || borrower.getSenorityAtWork <=6)
person: PersonLocal(employmentTypeVlId == "EMPLOYED")
approvalParams: ApprovalParams(numOfExceptions >= 0)
then
approvalParams.setNumOfExceptions(approvalParams.getNumOfExceptions() + 1);
end
Any ideas

Decision Tables: Probelm with sequence=true
by Arjun Dhar
Hi,
I usually use decision tables without sequence. But there was a request Not to
use priority and if there was a conflict then the rule on top should get
priority.
I thought, sequence = true was a good way of ensuring that. But in the rules I
call update(); this forces all the rules to fire twice.
I think this is a bug; without sequence the update does not cause such problems.
Please advise,
Arjun

drools 4.0 compilation
by fuadhamidov
hi,
i developed my project using drools 2.5. now i want to upgrade to drools
4.0. in my project i
(1) create xml file,
(2) compile xml file & get jar file,
(3) save jar file
(4) and load jar file when i need to run rules
i was able to upgrade xml file to drools 4.0 xml format, but i can not do
necessary modification in code to compile xml and get "jar or any reloadable
file".
There is my code that is developed for drools 2.5. Can you help me to
upgrade it for drools 4.0?
void compile() throws Exception {
// read xml file, returns data in xml format
String rulecontent = readRuleFromFile();
byte[] bytes = null;
// codes for drools 2.5. i want to develop corresponding code for 4
statement bellow that runs with drools 4.0
// RuleSetReader reader = new RuleSetReader();
// RuleSet ruleSet = reader.read(new BufferedReader(new
StringReader(rulecontent)));
// RuleSetCompiler compiler = new RuleSetCompiler(ruleSet, "com.sample",
"knowledgeHelper");
// bytes = compiler.getBinaryDeploymentJar();
// some codes for drools 4.0, but it is not finilized
PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
builder.addPackageFromXml(new BufferedReader(new
StringReader(rulecontent)));
Package pkg = builder.getPackage();
//... and then what? how do it get bytecode from package?
//may be 3 statements are not necessary for compilation
// save to disk as a jar file
writeRuleToJar(bytes);
}
void runrule(Object usg) throws Exception {
// runs both, drools 2.5 and drools 4.0
ConflictResolver[] conflictResolvers = new ConflictResolver[] {
SalienceConflictResolver.getInstance(),
ComplexityConflictResolver.getInstance(),
FifoConflictResolver.getInstance() };
CompositeConflictResolver compositeConflictResolver = new
CompositeConflictResolver(conflictResolvers);
byte[] bytecode = readRuleFromJar();
// i can not develope this part also
// RuleBaseLoader loader = new RuleBaseLoader(compositeConflictResolver);
// loader.addFromByteArray(bytecode);
// RuleBase ruleBase = loader.buildRuleBase();
// modification in code for drools 4.0
// WorkingMemory workingMemory = ruleBase.newWorkingMemory();
WorkingMemory workingMemory = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
// workingMemory.assertObject(usg);
workingMemory.insert(usg);
workingMemory.fireAllRules();
}

no-loop using PropertyChangeListeners instead of update() in rules...doesnt work
by Felipe Piccolini
Hi,
I have a problem with no-loop, I run the integration test for no-
loop and it works fine because
it uses "update" and the fact dont use propertychangelisteners...
But if I run the same test but the rule doesnt have update(cheese)
and Chesse has propertyChangeListeners to
notify when an attribute change/is-updated then no-loop doesnt work...
Is this a bug or do i have to look another way to write my rules?
I really likes the way beans can control property changes using
listeners and dont have to force business ppl to write
update in rules :)
Thanks.
PD: I copied this email because used a reply for an old email (and I
dont wanna be lost in time) :)

no-loop is in the integration tests and works fine. think it has for
a while. We will be releasing RC3 any day now, try it then and if its
still a problem let us know.

I try to use the rule attribute no-loop but it seems not to function...
I set it to true but each rule is evaluated two or several times.
Is it OK with the RC2??
Thank you

Cannot set RuleBase configuration options using RuleAgent
by Shahad Ahmed
Does anyone know how you can set RuleBase configuration options for a
RuleBase created using the RuleAgent? The RuleAgent does not seem to have a
mechanism for passing in a RuleBaseConfiguration object to set options like
Sequention mode etc.
I know that you can set RuleBase options for all RuleBases by setting the
appropriate System properties when calling the java VM, but it would be nice
to be able to set these individually via the API for each RuleBase created
using a RuleAgent. I guess this could be done fairly easily by adding an
extra constructor to RuleAgent that takes a RuleBaseConfiguration object --
rbConfig, say -- and in RuleAgent when it creates a new RuleBase instead of
just using RulebaseFactory.newRuleBase() use
RulebaseFactory.newRuleBase(rbConfig)
instead.

Shahad
