Drools 4.0, Support for multiple pattern in accumulate source pattern
by Juergen
It appears as if accumulate does support only a single pattern CE as
source pattern, e.g.:
Number() from accumulate(
Cheese(
price : price
),
sum( price )
)
Is it possible to have more than one pattern in the source pattern, e.g.:
Number() from accumulate(
Cheese(
price : price,
type : type
)
Person(
favouriteCheese == type,
age > 30
),
sum( price )
)
The same could be said for collect, but there the problem to specify
which item of a matching tuple is to be collected, but this could be
handled recreating collect via accumulate, e.g.:
Collection() from accumulate(
cheese : Cheese(
type : type
)
Person(
favouriteCheese == type,
age > 30
),
collect( cheese )
)

Blurring the lines of jBPM and Drools
by keithnielsen
I have been researching both jBPM and Drools for sometime now and am
wondering what the future holds for jBPM. This is based on my research of
Drools 5, which is bringing what I would consider more BPM constructs into
the core engine, things such as Wait States, Human Tasks, etc. One of the
main things I don't see yet is the whole persistence and support of long
running processes. My question is will the trend with Drools continue,
eventually consuming jBPM?
I must say that my perception is that Drools is more active which makes me
wonder if I should go with Drools hoping that it builds out more BPM
features going forward.
Thanks

ANT Compile issues
by Bhamidi, Krishna
Hi,
I am using DROOLs 5.0.0 CR1 and use the compiler from Drools-Ant. When I attempt to execute the rules using a rule agent, I get an exception that in part reads
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readSerialData(ObjectInputStream.java:1820)
(Full stack follows this e-mail.) However, when I download the pkg file for the same ruleset from Guvnor and use it in the rule agent, it runs fine.
I use the following for building -
<taskdef name="compiler" classname="org.drools.contrib.DroolsCompilerAntTask" classpathref="compiler.classpath" />
<compiler srcdir="../${rulesDirectory}" tofile="../${buildDirectory}/${projectName}_rules.pkg"
classpath="../${buildDirectory}/${projectName}_rules.jar"
binformat="package">
<include name="*.drl" />
<include name="*.brl" />
<include name="*.xml" />
<include name="*.dslr" />
<include name="*.xls" />
</compiler>
What I should do to compile correctly?

Extending the "validation of rules" functionality in Guvnor
by Premkumar Stephen
Hello everyone,
Currently, the validate functionality ensures that rules have proper
syntax.
it is possible to extend this functionality so that business use cases might
also be validated? Is there an API/examples to do that.
For eg, in our domain, an object X can be evaluated for 3 criteria ( a, b,
c )
However, we would need to prevent rules written which combine criteria b and
c
Rules can have the combinations ( a,b,c, ab, ac ). Combinations ( bc and abc
) should not be allowed.
Regards,
Prem

Performance of compiler
by Christian Nedregård
Hi.
My environment: Win XP SP3, 2x2.13 GHz cpu, 3GB RAM, Drools 4.0.7, JDK
1.4.2_11, java compiler: JANINO, dialect: java.
We have about 850 drl's with 5 - 10 conditions in each. 0 -2 evals in each.
The drl's only contain one rule each.
We are using Drools programatically by compiling the drls using
PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl and adding them to a RuleBase using
RuleBase.addPackage(PackageBuilder.getPackage())
When we are building our rule base we are never able to compile more than 1
-2 rules per second, which means we need over 10 minutes (at 100% cpu) to
build our rulebase.
Profiling shows 68% cpu time in
org.drools.rule.builder.GroupElementBuilder.build and 18% cpu time in
org.codehaus.janino.Compiler.compile.
We have experimented by changing the compiler to ECLIPSE and the dialect to
mvel but the results are the same.
We have experimented using one PackageBuilder instance per drl or grouping
drls by package and sharing a builder per package. Same result in both
scenarios.
We have also expermimented with compiling concurrently in serveral threads.
Again, about the same result.
My question is: Is this the performance we can expect from the compiler or
are we doing something fundamentally wrong?
Below is an example of one of our drls. This one contains no evals, but
still takes more than 1 second to compile. If anyone can spot some issues
with the way we are doing things the feedback would be much apreciated :)
------------------------------------
package domain.core.productoffer.rules.subscriptiontype
import type.productoffer.ProductOfferRuleEvent
import domain.core.subscription.Subscription
import domain.core.subscription.SubscribedService
import type.subscription.ActionTypeEnum
import domain.core.productoffer.ProductOffer
import domain.rules.RuleEvent
global domain.core.productoffer.RuleValidationReport validationResult
rule "RequiredVProducts"
when
ProductOfferRuleEvent(id == '3')
ProductOffer(id.value == 31963)
$subscription:Subscription()
not ( SubscribedService(status != ActionTypeEnum.REMOVE_CANCEL &&
productId.value in (57, 69) ) from
$subscription.getAllChildSubscribedServices())
then
validationResult.addValidationMessage("2069", "For product offer
rule event with id '3' and product offer with id=31963 subscription must
have one of the following VProducts: 57, 69.");
end

Upgrade to Drools 5 - loss of performance
by Scott Reed
I just upgraded our app from Drools 4 to 5 libraries. We just use the
rules engine with DRL. The performance of the engine on our rulebase is
unacceptably slow. I assume there is something we need to do to our
rules or the way we are configuring the engine to fix this. I don't see
anything in the release notes about backwards compatibility issues. I
would very much appreciate it if someone would direct me to any
documentation that explains what needs to be done so our 4.0 rules
perform at least as well as they did before the upgrade?
Thanks,
Scott

drl to pkg
by Perumaal Krishnaraj
Hello Everybody,
I'm a newbie to Drools, so please excuse me, if question is very
fundamental.
I'm not using drools with eclipse or brms.
I would like to convert the drl file which I had created using a text editor
to the binary form ie. in pkg format (serialized), which can be used im my
Java application.
Is there a tool, or a code snippet which gives me an idea as to how this is
done.
Regards,

functions
by Chris Richmond
Ok.I am trying to build a function library in my .drl file and I added this
one test function
function String outputString(String sData){
return sData;
}
And no matter where I place this in my .drl file, I get an exception one way
or the other with compiling when I try instaniate and fire my rules. The
.drl file works exactly as expected if I remove this function declaration,
and when I *do* try to add it, I do not actually call it anywhere.but get
those errors.
So my question is, where exactly do I need to place function declarations..
Thanks,
Chris
