RE: [rules-users] Parse bug in predicate constraints?

by Olenin, Vladimir (MOH)

Also, since everything in rules needs to be an Object, is there any plan to make the operators deal with said Objects? That is, so I do not always have to de-reference with my eval or predicate objects with intValue() or floatValue() or whatever? Not a DROOLS expert, but from what I understand this is already possible now as long as you are using Java 1.5 (which has autoboxing/autounboxing as part of the language spec).

3.2M1 - is it available?

by Olenin, Vladimir (MOH)

Hi, I think I've seen a message some time ago on the list mentioning that the first milestone 3.2 release has been tagged in the CVS. Is it true? If so, would this release be available somewhere on the site as a library download (together with the documentation, at least for the new functionality). I've just checked one benchmark (http://www.kbsc.com/Performance2006.xls <http://www.kbsc.com/Performance2006.xls> ) and it seems like 3.2 version is ~ 3 times faster than 3.0... Very impressive, considering a bulk of new functionality has been added as well..... Thanks. Vlad

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Hello everybody! I'm having the same problem that you had, but when I run the project from the JBoss Server and try do run the code with the JBoss rules, I get the error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.CompilationResult.getProblems()[Lorg/eclipse/jdt/core/compiler/CategorizedProblem; at org.apache.commons.jci.compilers.EclipseJavaCompiler$2.acceptResult(EclipseJavaCompiler.java:237) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.handleInternalException(Compiler.java:415) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:352) at org.apache.commons.jci.compilers.EclipseJavaCompiler.compile(EclipseJavaCompiler.java:268) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.compileAll(Unknown Source) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackage(Unknown Source) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl(Unknown Source) I've downloaded the ecj.jar, which haves the org\eclipse\jdt\internal\compiler\CompilationResult.class with the getProblems() method, to the \lib folder of the server!

Rule engine query.

by Mahantesh

Hi, I am using JBoss Rule Engine Drools 3.0 from last 2 months. As i know the rule engine is used in an application where the data or policies will be changing on and on. But i am using in an project which has something different. I am using it for filtering the data. I am having a server where there are lot of processes will be running and each process is having so many attributes. So as i said i am using it for filtering the data based different/combination of attributes. But i am not able to understand whether i can use rule engine for this purpose? because samething i can do by executing the SQL query instead of using Rule Engine. Whether it makes any sense or it is unneccessary performance bottleneck? if i use what all the merits and demerits? Thanks in advance, Mahantesh.

Adding DROOLS/JBoss Rules to classpath

by Grimshaw, Jeffrey

Hi all. I'm having some trouble adding the JBoss Rules custom classpath container to an existing project in Eclipse. I can do it by adding the following line to the project's .classpath file: <classpathentry kind="con" path="DROOLS/JBoss Rules"/> Is there another/better way to do this? I would expect to be able to do it somewhere in Build Path --> Add Libraries..., but I have had no luck. Thanks, -- Jeff Grimshaw

RE: [rules-users] [Column(f1=='v1', f2=='v2')] vs [Column(f1= ='v1') Column(f2== 'v2')]

by Olenin, Vladimir (MOH)

Hi, Edson. Thanks for the explanation. Just wanted to clarify one thing. If I have a set of following Column fact objects and I put then into workspace using the 'identity' mode (below are only field values the facts are initialized with, one per line, each line is a separate Column fact): 1) f1='v1', f2='v1' 2) f1='v1', f2='v11' 3) f1='v1', f2='v2' 4) f1='v2', f2='v2' 5) f1='v11', f2='v2' 6) f1='v11', f2='v22 then the condition Column(f1=='v1') Column(f2=='v2') will select facts exactly 5 facts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but NOT 6, correct? Won't the condition above then be the same as: Column(f1=='v1') or Column(f2=='v2') ? Thanks. Vlad PS: any feedback/hints on some other questions I've sent earlier today would be very much appreciated as well! -----Original Message----- From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Edson Tirelli Sent: 07 February 2007 13:15 To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] [Column(f1=='v1', f2=='v2')] vs [Column(f1=='v1') Column(f2== 'v2')] Vlad, The constructions are semantically different. In 3.0.x as default, JBoss Rules will not allow the same fact to match more than one column. So if you write: Column(f1=='v1') Column(f2=='v2') Your rule will only match if there are 2 different objects that each match one of the constraints. While, if you write: Column(f1=='v1', f2=='v2') It will require a single object that matches both constraints. Also, the optimizations (indexing, hashing, etc) are done on a field constraint basis. So, if you have one rule with : Column(f1=='v1', f2=='ONE_VAL') And another rule with: Column(f1=='v1', f2=='ANOTHER_VAL') The constraint f1=='v1' will be evaluated only once. Although, to help optimization, you must keep the constraints that repeat over multiple patterns as the first constraints for each collumn, in the same order.

rule chaining problem?

by Gerardo

Hi everyone, I have this scenario: A diagram with nodes and arcs between them. I'm willing to control the visual elements with rules. Nodes are asserted at the moment of insertion. Object node = new AnyObject() ; FactHandle hNode = workingMemory.assertObject( node ) ; Nodes are retracted from working memory when are deleted from the diagram. workingMemory.retractObject( hNode ) ; Arcs can not exist in the diagram if any of the related nodes no longer exists. So I must have a rule that keeps consistency in the diagram, something like: ## to illustrate the problem just checking source rule "Delete no longer valid arcs" when a : Arc(s: source, tag, t: target) not s: Object() then retract(a) ; end But the rule is not working, help is much appreciated Regards, Gerardo Segura
