Guvnor Building pkg error
by Yan Liu
When trying to build a package (even using the sample pkg from drools
Guvnor) I got this - "Sorry, a technical error occurred. Please contact a
system administrator."
This is indeed very frustrating as I need to build binary pkgs for my remote
rule agents to access. I found the post here saying it is fixed.
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GUVNOR-327 No details though.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem if you know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Deploying Guvnor in an Enterprise environment
by Steve Ronderos
Hello Drools Users,
I'm working on deploying Guvnor in an enterprise environment. There is
some mention in the JBoss Wikis
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/GuvnorRoadmapFor0809 and
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/Guvnor about lifecycle management of
assets in Guvnor. The descriptions in those two articles is somewhat
brief and does not quite cover all of my requirements.
We have a need to be able to deploy assets to various dev, staging and
production servers and define which assets should be deployed in a given
deploy. I realize that snapshots and selectors can be leveraged to get
this kind of functionality, but it does not feel like a robust solution.
Additionally, we have scenarios where two users might need to edit the
same asset for two different releases, and test them on different
environments simultaneously.
Has anyone implemented Guvnor in a Dev, Staging, Production environment
that could give some pointers on how to manage these concurrent release
issues?
Thanks,
Steve Ronderos

===================================================================
Overview and Aim
===================================================================
The International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability has
evolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002,
international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since
2007. This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and
Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA,
collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business
Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule
technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for
rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Multi-Agent Systems,
Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications.
The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation and
interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule
system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source
communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium
has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in
practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009
will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range
of thematic tracks, and thus will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas
and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management,
integration, interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed
environments such as the Web.
Conference Theme
===================================================================
This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of
Web rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to
share your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner,
rule system provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or
researcher, exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or
using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but
not limited to) one or more of the following topics:

RuleML-2009 Challenge
===================================================================
The RuleML-2009 Demo Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2009. We
invite submissions of demo papers and demos where rules are used in
interesting and practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful
information, transform knowledge, provide decision support and provide
automated rule-based monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of
the behavioural logic of the application. The Challenge offers participants
the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases,
and applications. Submissions are solicited in these categories:
- Benchmarks (test cases, suites) with evaluations of (their own, other)
rule engines and/or rule translators, possibly drawing on our growing
pool at http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw
- Case studies (use cases) implemented via engines/translators employing
rule standards such as RIF, RuleML, CLIPS, Common Logic, SBVR, and ISO
Prolog.
We welcome all demos about tools and applications using rules such as:
- Derivation rules, including query and integrity rules
- ECA rules, including production rules, reaction rules, and rule-based
CEP languages
Authors of demo are also invited to submit a Challenge demo paper for
publications in the conference proceedings, see the submission section below
for submission details.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from each category. All
accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. A
submission to the RuleML Challenge has to meet the requirement that
declarative rules explicitly play a central role in the application.
Basically this means that:
Rules are explicitly represented in a declarative format and they are
decoupled from the application (rather than being compiled or hard-coded
into the application logic). The demo should preferably (but not
necessarily) be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment so that
there will be a need for features related to the RuleML conference topics,
as listed in the call for papers. For more details and the demo site web
link please consult the RuleML-2009 Challenge website:
http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw
Student Grant Awards
===================================================================
Two travel grants are available to students who are authors or co-authors of
papers or demos accepted for presentation at the symposium. The grants
include free registration and cover travel expenses up to 1000 dollars.
Conference Language
===================================================================
The official language of the conference will be English.
Submission
===================================================================
Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance
and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case
demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies
or applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and
may be submitted at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2009
as:
Full Papers (15 pages in the proceedings)
Short Papers (8 pages in the proceedings)
RuleML-2009 Challenge Demo Paper + Show Cases (3-5 pages in the proceedings)
Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality,
submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on
originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
Authors are requested to upload the abstracts of their papers before June 9,
2009 and to upload their complete papers by June 16, 2009. The selected
papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo software and
documents. The best paper from all submissions will be determined by the PC
and a Best Paper Award will be handed over at the Symposium by a Sponsor.
All submissions must be done electronically. A selection of revised papers
will be resubmitted to a special issue of a journal.
Submissions to the RuleML Challenge 2009 consist of a demo paper of 3-5
pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about
the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a
presentation about the demonstration, or a download site for the
demonstration. In case of product demos, the link can be password-protected:
please submit a password for anonymous login from any Web browser, giving us
the permission to pass the password on to 3 PC members. The submissions
should satisfy the minimal requirements defined in the topics of interest
and preferably exhibit some of the additional desiderata. The more
desiderata are met by an application, the higher the score will be. The
demos will be evaluated by the RuleML-2009 Program Committee and prizes will
be awarded to the two best applications, sponsored by the RuleML Inc.
non-profit organization.

Extend Guvnor
by Andy Mei
Hi all,
Long time user of Drools (dated back in xml syntax days). We are looking
to revamp our in house rules product which is based on Drools 3.x. We have
built a Swing thick client that provides similar functionality as Guvnor
such as rule editing, versioning, deployment (with approval system). One
major feature we do have is rule simulation. We allow user to simulate
rules and display results while user save or seek approval of their rules
before deploy to production system. The simulation feature allows user to
run against production or testing environment to ensure it provide correct
results. I wonder if Guvnor has such extensibility interface build in which
I could add my own functionality such as simulation and result browsing?
Since Guvnor is based on Seam and GWT (i think), I could probably fork the
source and tweak the UI, but I much rather code against an interface
supported by Drools.
Thoughts? TIA.
PS: I am curious how are existing Drools user test their rules currently?

Re: [rules-users] Web based decision tables
by Michael Rhoden
Are you exporting the DRL or just using the view source from guvnor? The view source doesn't show the model that must be defined, among other things. I havent used the eclipse plugin much but Guvnor itself, has it's own pseudo model for handling Web Decision tables. When you finally generate a package it will generate correct DRL (not BRL/DT) of that decision table and should have everything you need to run it outside of Guvnor. BRL and DT will always create DRL when you export the package. So my guess is you should use KB.add on a DRL resource type.

Subject: [rules-users] Web based decision tables
Can someone tell me the appropriate way to use web-based decision tables?
They seem to work fine if I create them in Guvnor, and then build and deploy
the binary package from Guvnor. However, if I copy the gdst from Guvnor to
Eclipse and use KnowledgeBuilder.add to attempt to add the resource as a
DTABLE or BRL resource type, I get a NullPointerException or
CannotResolveClassException.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Re: [rules-users] Help -- Conditional Logic in DRL
by Greg Barton
Note to drools devs: I didn't put the original poster up to this. :)
Globals should be considered immutable, so shouldn't be used in this way. You could do it with an object asserted in working memory, though.
Just as good, though, you can use this kind of pattern to replicate else logic:
rule "EverythingMatches"
when
Condition0
Condition1
Condition2
then
...
end
rule "ElseAtCondition2"
when
Condition0
Condition1
!Condition2
then
...
end
rule "ElseAtCondition1"
when
Condition0
!Condition1
then
...
end
rule "ElseAtCondition0"
when
!Condition0
then
...
end

Class Casting in a Collection data
by VinuJay
Hi my fact object looks like this,
class ProcessRequest {
Long requestId;
String processType;
String assigneeUsers;
HashTable<String,Object> businessData;
//Getters and Setters
}
My businessdata can be of type Integer, String, Boolean, hence i have used
generic Object for the business data value.
But if i use any mathematical operator in the rules (.drl) file like,
rule "Assign"
when
p: ProcessRequest(processType == "LoanFlowPlus" &&
businessData['LOANAMOUNT'] < 5000)
then
p.setAssigneeUsers("jcooper");
end
i get an error
Exception in thread "main" org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: Exception
executing predicate eval( businessData['LOANAMOUNT'] < 5000 )
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer
Shouldn't the drools API handle this class cast conversion internally ..? or
how to specify the class casting in rules file

[#JBRULES-1946] Deserializing a KnowledgeBase object throws a java.io.EOFException
by Przemysław Różycki
Hello,
IMHO, this bug still occurs in 5.0.1 final version as well as in trunk.
I put the proper comment and example code in JIRA:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1946
I need it working quite quickly, so if the Drools developers plan to
solve it later, then I will try to look at the source code by myself and
find the solution (and share of course).
However I would like to ask if anyone tried to diagnose the problem
earlier and has some thoughts where to look for the cause?
Best regards,

Drools v5 multithreading questions
by Andrey Nechaev
Hello, All!
I’m evaluating the new version of Drools (5.0.1), so I’m especially
interested in multithreading and partitioning options, implemented in Drools
v5.
I’ve prepared a little test case to check how the feature works. Here is the
rule I’m using:
package test
rule test
when
NODE2($p : value > 20)
then
System.out.println("Fired :” + $p);
end
The NODE2 POJO is very simple:
public class NODE2 {
private int value;
public NODE2(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
}
And here is the main code snippet:
1: KnowledgeBaseConfiguration conf =
KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBaseConfiguration();
2: conf.setOption(MultithreadEvaluationOption.YES);
3: conf.setOption(MaxThreadsOption.get(10));
4: KnowledgeBase kb = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(conf);
5:
6: KnowledgeBuilder bld =
KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
7: bld.add(ResourceFactory.newReaderResource(new
StringReader(rule)), ResourceType.DRL);
8: kb.addKnowledgePackages(bld.getKnowledgePackages());
9:
10: StatefulKnowledgeSession session =
kb.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
11: session.insert(new NODE2(25));
12:
13: session.fireAllRules();
In such a case my program hangs and nothing is displayed in the Console.
If I put lines 10-11 prior to line 6, I get a NullPointerException:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.drools.reteoo.ObjectSource.addObjectSink(ObjectSource.java:124)
…
But, if I comment out the lines 2&3, everything works ok…
So, please help – what I’m doing wrong?
Best regards,
Andrey

Help -- Conditional Logic in DRL
by Vishy
Hi All,
I am new to drools...and am trying to figure out as to how I can
represent the following logic in a DRL file.
if (condition1) {
if (condition2) {
} else if (condition3) {
} else if (condition 4) {
} else if (condition 5) {
}
}
In DSL, a typical rule is represented as follows:
rule "name"
when
condition is true
then
consequence
end
How can I represent the above mentioned if - else logic in DSL? Or is
it not possible?
If it is not, can you please suggest any alternative?
Thanks much!!
