explanation on drl usage
by JLL
Hi all,
i'm quiet new in drools (a french speaking so i appologise for my english
mistakes) and i'm surprise by the folowing problem
in drools example i found this code ...
Example 3.14. Return Value operator
Person( girlAge : age, sex == "F" )
Person( age == ( new Integer(girlAge.intValue() + 2) ), sex == 'M' )
This let me think that i can use method of an assigned variable in the
equality test
this my rule file
package be.labocollard.server.rules ;
import java.lang.Integer;
import java.lang.Double;
import be.labocollard.server.types.HumanSexType;
import be.labocollard.server.entities.Result;
import be.labocollard.server.entities.Resultat;
import be.labocollard.server.entities.Prestation;
import be.labocollard.server.entities.PrestationFacturable;
import be.labocollard.server.entities.Utilisateur;
rule "asserteResultatAndPrestation"
when
PrestationFacturable ( $resultat : resultat , $prestation : prestation)
then
assert ( $resultat );
assert ($prestation);
end
rule "findRelevantResult"
when
$resultat : Resultat()
eval($resultat.getResults().size()>0)
then
assert($resultat.getResults().iterator().next());
end
rule "testPsaId"
when
$prestation : Prestation(id == "psaId")
$prestationFacturable : PrestationFacturable (prestation==$prestation,
$resultat : resultat)
$result : Result (doubleValue < (new Double(12)))
Resultat (id == $resultat.getId(), results contains $result )
>>> this sentence makes problem ...
>>> and i would like to avoid eval
>>> #eval ($resultat.getId()==id &&
$resultat.getResults().contains($result) )
Utilisateur (age < (new Integer(55))) || Utilisateur (sex !=
HumanSexType.MALE)
then
retract($prestationFacturable);
end
Is there a drools guru to explain my misunderstanding ????
thanks a lot
and thanks to drools developpers for those wonderfull tools
JLL

NullPointer in LHS dao calls ..
by Sanjay Singh - s0singh
Since i could not get the earlier code running i tried using eval in LHS
side for Dao calls but i keep on getting NullPointerException ..
rule "Item should have a valid status"
when
ItemVo (statusCode : itemStatusCode != null)
eval( !itemValidationDao.isValidItemStatus(statusCode) )
then
errors.addValidationError("invalidtemStatusCode","Item Status Code is
invalid ");
end
Exception data: org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Can somebody please help .. thanks

Subject: RE: Hi.
Thanks for getting back to me Mike and Edson and Sorry for the delayed
response.
I looked at your examples Mike and i felt better as you said that we can
make dao calls in LHS .. And Edson suggested not to be afraid of
suggesting the same constraint for more than one rule .. i guess i was
looking at it more procedural way and dint want any repetition of those
conditions as the top level IF block but looks like it won't hurt to
mention these constraints in all the rules related to this check ...so i
can include this check in all the rules .. hmm ..
Here is a quick test i was trying to do for calling the dao in LHS but
it fails .. what am i missing ..
package com.walmart.itemfile.item.rules
import com.walmart.itemfile.item.vo.ItemVo;
import com.walmart.itemfile.item.dao.ItemDao;
import com.walmart.itemfile.item.dao.ItemValidationDao;
import java.lang.String;
global com.walmart.itemfile.item.dao.ItemValidationDao
itemValidationDao;
global com.walmart.itemfile.rules.ValidationErrorMap errors;
rule "Item should have a valid status"
when
ItemVo( statusCode : itemStatusCode != null)
ItemVo( statusCode == true ) from
itemValidationDao.isValidItemStatus(statusCode) .. my isValidItemStatus
method returns a boolean (not collection of codes) and i need to check
if thats true than go to the RHS side .. is the line in green even right
... in any case it does not recognize itemValidationDao to begin with in
LHS side .. RHS same call works ..
then
errors.addValidationError("nullItemStatusCode","Item Status Code is
null");
System.out.println("Item Base Defaults Called" +
itemValidationDao.isValidItemStatus(statusCode));
System.out.println("Item Status Code is null");
end
Caused by: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: unknown:32:28 Unexpected
token 'itemValidationDao'
thanks for the help guys ..

Subject: RE: Hi.
Hi Sanjay,
To firstly answer your questions (in my opinion):
1. You can't do nested whens in the LHS but you can do nested if / else
in the RHS (although you'd fore go the benefits of a RETE-based
inference engine; but possible if you've got very few rules and
facts...). I believe that there is work to have an "otherwise" statement
for rule syntax, how progressed this is and how it will work I don't
know - over to Mark and team?!?
2. Yes, take a look at the "from" statement (new for 3.1-M1, see
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=3.1M1ReleaseNotes)
3. Yes, take a look at rule-flow at
http://labs.jboss.com/portal/index.html?ctrl:cmd=render&ctrl:window=defa
ult.blog.PrjBlogPortletWindowDefaultBlog&project=jbossrules&from=1&link=
RuleFlow_%28Kris_Verlaenen%29#RuleFlow_%28Kris_Verlaenen%29 (although I
don't know if this is complete if 3.1-M1 - I think it's not). Although I
don't think your rules really need rule-flow; you just need to identify
and isolate the patterns (IF's) that would cause each "Do Something" to
be ran and create a rule for each - this has the benefit of separating
each action into a separate rule making maintenance a whole bunch
easier).
Anyway, I'd try some rules like the following examples (the rest are
based upon these):-
Rule "Rule 1"
when
NewItem ( itemStatusCode == null)
then
//do something
end
Rule "Rule 2"
when
$u : User( )
$ni : NewItem ( $isc : itemStatusCode != null )
not Codes ( codes contains $isc ) from
valDao.getValidItemStatusCodesForUser($u)
then
//Do something
end
Rule "Rule 3"
when
$u : User( )
$ni : NewItem( itemStatusCode == ItemVO.DELETED )
Codes ( codes contains $isc ) from
valDao.getValidCrossReferencePrimeCodesForUser($u)
then
//Do something
end
I've posted to the news group so everyone can contribute - don't be shy
;-)
With kind regards,
Mike

Subject: Hi.
Hey Mike ... I am sorry to bother you but you seemed to be
pretty good with rules and i just could not think of anyone else to ask
abt it ... I am sorry if i am taking much of your time .. Here is my
problem if you can have a quick look ..
Look at this code once .. its very easy but it involves tons of
if else blocks conditions ..
if( newItem.getItemStatusCode() == null){
//do something
}
else{
if(
!valDao.isValidItemStatus(newItem.getItemStatusCode(),user) ){
//do something
}
if(
newItem.getItemStatusCode().equals(ItemVo.DELETED)||getItemStatusCode().
equals(ItemVo.INACTIVE) ){
if(
valDao.isCrossReferencePrime(newItem.getItemNbr(),user)){
//do something
}
else if(
valDao.isFutrCrossReferencePrimeOrSecond(newItem.getItemNbr(),user) ){
//do something
}
else if(
valDao.isComponentLink(newItem.getItemNbr(),user)){
//do something
}
else if(
valDao.hasWhseOnHandsOrOnOrders(newItem.getItemNbr(),user)&&CountryCode(
).equals("CA") ){
//do something
}
}
else{
if(
valDao.isUnlikeAsstParentWithNonActiveChildren(newItemNbr,user) ){
//do something;
}else if
(isLikeAssortmentBaby(newItemNbr,user)&&!alDao.isLikeAsstParentActive(ne
wItemNbr, user)){
//do something
}else{
//do something
}
}
}
}
What i am trying to understand is the right way of putting it in
drl files ..
1.What are the options for putting if else conditions ? Will i
have to write all the rules anyway and they will be called as well all
the time depending on the criteria ... or is there a way where when my
first if check which was if item number is null failed i should not go
for any other rules .. Is there a way where we could have like "when"
inside "when" .. kinda looping of conditions so if one does not meet you
dont go to the next .. jsut like in above blocks ? Whats the good way of
doing it ?
2.Is it possible to make database calls like from my dao
instance in LHS (condition) .. i know we can do it in RHS and i have
tested that as well but can we do it in LHS as sometimes we need to do
that ..like with null checks for the item status code we also want to
check something from the database like a boolean value and if that meets
the criteria we will run the rules ..as u can see above we have basic
state check with nulls etc plus we have some dao calls as well in the
condition part and then we //do something
3.Can i call rules within other rules .. so something like in
rule1 i want to call rule2 .. is that possible ?
Can you suggest a decent way of doing these if else blocks ..
this is the core stuff which we do for our rules here .. if i can handle
this kind of conditions i guess i can handle anything out here ...
Thanks for all the help ..
Sanjay

RE: Need DRL authoring Help
by John.Tal＠gxs.com
Drools developers,
In our specific use case we have customers who need to be able to write
validation rules and NOT have to resort to writing them in Java. Hence
our interest in using drools as an open source 'standard' to potentially
replace a proprietary rules engine we already have.
In the previous case I mentioned where I want to do this:
> *rule* "UCCnet_DVE_Depth_All"
> *when*
> catalogObject : CatalogObject( )
> String s = catalogObject.getElementValue("depth");
> *eval*( s == *null* || s == "" )
> *then*
> logWriter.logDebug("Package Depth is Blank");
> *end*
This is because potentially, in our use for data validation, there might
be 50 values we need to compare against. Those values need to be on the
drools (not java) side of the world. So getting the result of
catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") into a String variable and being
able to use String methods like indexOf or multiple || cases is much
more desirable than crossing from the rule back into the object by
having to call getElementValue 50 times. There are numerous, other
cases, where the result of catalogObject.getElementValue need to be
saved into a local drools variable and evaluated multiple times without
encurring the overhead of multiple calls back into java.
Please consider enhancing drl syntax to support this use case. Is there
a bug/enhancement process for me to follow to submit this functionality
request.
Thanks
John

OK you are really bending what you would use rules for, I really
wouldn't recommend that. flattening the object model would allow you to
write rules over it, but as it stands, its just going to be a bit
difficult for you.
catalogObject : CatalogObject( )
*eval*( catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == *null* ||
catalogObject.getElementValue("depth") == "" )

Re: drools help needed !
by Edson Tirelli
Hi Gaminda,
What you can't do in J2EE containers is to access the filesystem
directly. Doing a getResourceAsStream() as you are doing is allowed,
specially because your drl file may be inside the application jar/war/ear.
If you are having a NPE, the problem is that the container is not finding
your file in your classpath, so what you need to do is to fix the classpath.
The strategy, though, is a valid one and works.

Edson

Rules Design Question
by Ronald R. DiFrango
All,
I have a rules design question for the community. I have 3 lists of
different types of objects that I need to sum if a certain attribute is
present on each one of them. Then after the summing has taken place execute
other rules based upon the results of the summation.
Is there a way that I can accomplish this via salience or agenda groups?
Thanks in advance,

Dynamic property names?!
by jdepaul
Hi all -
I have the following challenge with data mapping. I'm trying to decide if
DROOLS is the appropriate solution to this problem - please help me decide.
I have a Source object and Target object. Both objects have the same field
names - the goal is to map data across from Source object to Target object
by apply a set of rules to object's fields. More than one rule may need to
be activated for each field. Results of previous mapping operation may
affect later mapping operations further 'downstream' - so it's important to
process fields in a specific sequence and for each field evaluate rules in a
specific order - (not sure, can rule Salience accomplish both?)
About the rules: There may be several rules in affect for each field -
which must be executed in specific order top to bottom. Rules should be
applied until the target field is mapped - until the target field is
non-blank. Same rule may be applied to more than one field from the Source
object. Rules will be maintain by a Customer Service Reps and will change
periodically.
I would envision the rule setup to be something like this:
Rule "Setup variables"
when
$source : SOURCE (rec_type == "PARTNER", $s_loc : location,
$s_op : operator, $s_wo : workorder)
$target : TARGET ($t_loc : location, $t_op : operator, $t_wo :
workorder)
then
<do nothing>
end
# Simple mapping for Location field...
rule "Location"
when
$target($t_loc == "") // if blank
then
$target.setLocation($s_loc);
modify($target);
end
# Simple mapping for Operator field...
rule "Operator"
when
$target($t_op == "") // if blank...
then
$target.setLocation($s_op);
modify($target);
end
... rules continue for the rest of the fields... There are about 150-200
fields to map. Some rules will define simple straight across mappings,
other rules will need to fetch values from objects from DB (using 'from'
keyword). Here are some questions:
1) Opinion please: Would the outlined approach work in this case given the
number of fields to process and the required sequence for processing. Seems
that rule management may be a bit difficult...
2) Is there a way to define functions that could take field names, and then
apply common operations using dynamic field names - i.e. function
simple_map(fieldName) would source data from Source.fieldName and map it to
Tartget.fieldName - this would require that get/set methods be dynamic - is
that possible?
3) Is there another approach that would be better suited in this case that
you'd recommend?
Thanks,
James
