the "not in" expression does not work...have u ever had this issue before?
by mmquelo massi
Hi there!
I am using a svn-built version of drools-core.jar and
drools-decisiontable.jar runtime lib (3rd March 2008).
I have got the following "Decision table" generated row:
*#From row number: 25*
*rule "Otherwise_25"*
**
*no-loop true*
*ruleflow-group "Convert"*
*when*
* cw:ContractWrapper(mycontract.serviceDetail.name not in ("STRING 1",
"STRING 2", "STRING 3", "STRING 4", "STRING 5", null))*
*then*
* ...*
*end*
The point is... despite of a ContractWrapper fact that DOES NOT encapsulate
a
nested 'name' whose value is in the above set, the rule does not fire
anyway.
For instance, if i have got a fact (in working memory) cw1 of class
ContractWrapper with cw1.mycontract.serviceDetail.name = "*STRING *6",
i expect the rule "Otherwise_25" to fire BUT IT ACTUALLY DOES NOT!
Furthermore if i omit the 'not' operator and i insert a fact cw2 with
cw2.mycontract.serviceDetail.name = "*STRING *2",
the RULE DOES fire!
For this reason there should be something wrong with the "not" operator.
but I do not know what exactly!
By the time the rule is generated from an .xls decision table
i really would not express the "otherwise" rule simply using
a sequence of "!=" and "and" operators (which would be a workaround)
.... If I did so the decisiontable would appear "too technical" and
not suitable for a business user.
Have u ever had this issue before?
I have also tried to omit the "null" value from the set but thait is not
the problem.
Please let me know.

Janino Autoboxing inside drools
by Joe White
According to the Janino Jira in
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JANINO-72 autoboxing was supported in
version 2.5.6. It looks like drools 4.0.4 uses Janino 2.5.10. The test
below uses a DRL file that would require autoboxing and it produces a
runtime exception from Janino. Does anybody know of a way to make a
Janino/Drools Autoboxing combination work? I have to use autoboxing and
I would very much prefer to use Janino over MVEL for drl compilation.
Thanks for your help,
Joe
The information below includes the stack trace, the Input java file, the
DRL, and a snippet for the drools setup and execution. The exception is
easy to produce and the info below should be enough to reproduce it.

FW: Rule match count?
by Brian Olson
Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to know when the rules are fired against
working memory, if it is possible to know how many rules matched? I
want to use Drools for coupons in a pricing application. If I don't
match any coupons (in my rules file), I'd like to know so I can use a
default one.
Any insight is appreciated.
Brian

From 4.0.6 to 4.0.4 to 4.0.3
by Chris Woodrow
Hi,
I would to share our experience about recent versions of Drools.
We found out that 4.0.6 was out on last wednesday, so we decided to move up
from 4.0.3 to 4.0.6. We made a few tests but we counted on the fact that
backward compatibility was provided. On friday, I went on Drools website and
found out that version 4.0.6 was replaced by 4.0.4 whithout any more
explaination, I made a research on this list to find out that you had to
make a roll back. At the same time we found out a drools bug on our app :

We had to deploy our app on friday, so we decieded to rollback to 4.0.4 to
find out that we had the same error. So we decided to rollback to 4.0.3, I
went to the download section of your site, and found out that previous
versions where just unavailable, which is unacceptable. Obviously, I found
it on our SVN, but I wasn't very happy about this.
Here are my conclusions :
- We are not going to change our version of Drools soon
- Please give us access to previous versions

Question on setting globals
by Seema Richard
Hi,
I've been reading the Drools documentation where it is mentioned that
"It is strongly discouraged to set (or change) a global value from
inside your rules. We recommend to you always set the value from your
application using the working memory interface." What is the reason for
this?
Also, in the example shown, are you not modifying the global? Isn't it
what is discouraged?
* global java.util.List myGlobalList;
*
* rule "Using a global"
* when
* eval( true )
* then
* myGlobalList.add( "Hello World" );
* end
Thanks,
Seema

Re: [rules-users] Feature request

I also have this requirement. I spoke to Michael Neale about it and he
thought that it shouldn't be too difficult. Michael, I wasn't sure if you
were going to add the feature request or if you want me to do it?

Hot Deployment
by Brian Trezise
In the What's New? Section of the Drools 4.0 documentation there is a
reference in 1.1.2 to a "Rules Engine Agent for hot deployment and BRMS
integration". This would be ideal for the application I am currently
developing. However, this is the only mention of this agent anywhere in the
documentation. Does anybody know anything about this, how to use it, any
documentation about it?
Thanks,

Working with Maps
by Gerald Cantor
I have a Map in working memory. The Map has Strings as keys and Integers as
values. It has 7 keys (REG301, REG302, ... REG307). I'm looking for a way to
incorporate the following into the LHS of a rule:
For keys 301, 302, 303, compute the total of the Integer values (total 1)
For keys 301, 302, 303, compute the number of keys that have greater than 0
values (total 2)
Divide total 1 by total 2 (if total 2 > 0) and check against a range
For keys 304, 305, 306, 307, compute the total of the Integer values (total
3)
For keys 304, 305, 306, 307, compute the number of keys that have greater
than 0 values (total 4)
Divide total 3 by total 4 (if total 4 > 0) and check against a range
I have not seen a way to collect / sum over select Map elements.
Any insight as to how I would compute the above totals using collect / sum
would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gerald

Order of operations
by Joe White
I have a question regarding order of operations in the consequence of a
rule when using the mvel dialect. When executed the Drl below provides
Right =30.0 and Wrong =140.0. The only difference is the parens around
the multiplying expressions, which shouldn't be necessary given order of
operations. Is this a problem with the drools/mvel interaction or is it
completely an issue with mvel?
Is the general expectation that all expressions must be completely
scoped by parens when using mvel?
package test;
dialect "mvel"
rule "test 11"
when
then
double rightVal=((10-5)*2) + (5*(8-4));
double wrongVal=(10-5)*2 + 5*(8-4);
System.out.println("Right ="+rightVal);
System.out.println("Wrong ="+wrongVal);
End
After execution:
Right =30.0
Wrong =140.0
Thank you for all of your help. We are using drools 4.0.4.
Joe
Also, I haven't figured out how it arrives at 140. The following format
also produces 140, which seems a little more strange.
double wrongVal=10-5*2 + 5*8-4;
