General rule engine behavior question
by Barry Blister
I'm seeing some unexpected behavior, although, it's certainly possible I'm not using drools 4 properly.Once a rule has fired, it won't fire again on subsequent invocations of fireAllRules(). In the past, on a different project, I have used drools 3 and all rule firing would occur on every rule (as long as it was true). What am I missing?

expected release date for 4.0?
by Eric Miles
When is the expected release date for 4.0? I have looked all over the
site, the JIRA roadmap, etc and haven't found this information.
Thanks so much.

NullPointerException: org.drools.base.extractors.BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.getLongValue(BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.java:103)
by Jian Li
Hi,
The following problem encountered:
I have a rule defintion :
----------------------------------------------dpd.drl
package ruletest;
import ruletest.IndividualNok;
rule Female_NOK_sex_401
//when (IndividualNok(nokRelationship==401) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==402))
when (IndividualNok(nokRelationship==401) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==402) || IndividualNok(nokRelationship==403))
then
System.out.println("abc");
end
------------------------------------------------
When I tried the commented out LSH, it works, however, when i add one more expression to it , it fails with the following exceptions:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.drools.base.extractors.BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.getLongValue(BaseObjectClassFieldExtractor.java:103)

at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.assertObject(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:724)
at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.assertObject(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:548)
Any idea about this? is it a bug
When I tried to create an additional rule with the 2 expression, it still fails. This error can be reproduced with the followng code:
-------------------------the Main Class's main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
final PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
try {
builder.addPackageFromDrl( new InputStreamReader( Main.class.getResourceAsStream( "dpd.drl" ) ) );
} catch (DroolsParserException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
final RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
try {
ruleBase.addPackage( builder.getPackage() );
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
final StatefulSession session = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
IndividualNok individualNok = new IndividualNok();
session.assertObject(individualNok);
session.fireAllRules();
session.dispose();
}

DRL authoring help
by Smitha Bhat
Hi,
I am new to JBoss rules. I have a .drl as given below:
rule "Rule1"
when
$Position1 : Position()
eval($Position1.getName() contains "POS-RPT_0_1")
then
util.setColor($Position1, "red");
end
Before firing the rules, I assert my object as
posIn = new Position(name,
id,
symbolCode,
lonDouble,
latDouble,
elevDouble,
reportDate,
this);
workingMemory.assertObject( posIn );
workingMemory.fireAllRules();
I get the following error.
org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: Rule Compilation error The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable Syntax error on token "contains", invalid AssignmentOperator
at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Unknown Source)
at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage(Unknown Source)
What is wrong with my drl? I have a Utilities class that I have defined as global.
Thanks

Stateful Session
by Shai Bentin
Can anyone explain to me why I would want to hold a reference to my working memory in the ruleBase?
The way we use the rules in our application is that we load all the copiled packages at the begining (we have API in place to replace, remove or add packages in runtime). The users invoke operations on different objects that get evaluated by the rules. Each time we call onto our factory get the correspondiong rulebase and invoke 'newStatefulSession()'. If I understand this correctly each time we create a new WorkingMemory instance which will not be garbage collected when were done since there is a reference to it?
What is the difference between Stateful and Stateless sessions?
Is there a way to reuse working memory from a ruleBase?
thnx

[drools 4] firing a partial set of rules and consequences
by Geoffrey De Smet
Can I fire a partial set of rules?
Say I have 3 rules: fastRuleA, fastRuleB, slowRuleC.
What's the best way to only fire the group of fastRule1 and fastRule2?
AgendaFilter looks like a good way of doing this, but:
If between 2 rule fires, I change a fact, but change it back to it's
original state, will the rule be not refire, just like if I hadn't
changed it temporary? for example fact1 is used in slowRuleC:
fireAllRules(); // fires slowRuleC
fact1.a++;
fact1.a--;
fireAllRules(); // does not fire slowRuleC?
Does still apply if I fire other rules meanwhile?
fireAllRules(); // fires slowRuleC
fact1.a++;
fireAllRules(notSlowRuleCAgendaFilter); // slowRuleC is ignored
// if I did not filter it out it would have fired of course
fact1.a--;
fireAllRules(); // does not fire slowRuleC? or does it?
// a hasn't is the same since the last time slowRuleC was fired
--
With kind regards,

Inspecting Working Memory
by Yuri de Wit
I usually have thousands of facts in Working memory and at some points
I need to figure out why this or that wasnt activated or sometime I
just want to know (ad-hoc) if such and such fact is already asserted
into memory.
It would be great if I could at any point in time use a JBoss rules
console attached to a given working memory and issue ad hoc queries.
Just a thought.
thanks,

Operators
by Yuri de Wit
I am using JBoss Rules 3.0.6 and in many situations I was forced to
use a Java snipped predicates ( p.property -> ( fn.doSomething(p, a))
which clutters the rules quite a bit ) to override or correct the
behaviour of some of the operators such as ==, !=, etc. It would be
nice if there was an easy way for me to override them by providing my
own implementation. I could then subclass the default one provided by
JBoss Rules and customized the ones I need.
I know that this sugestiong would allow us to modify the semantic of
the rules language operators but it at least would provide a nice way
out of issues (such as using == between a Short and a Integer) we come
accross, could help debugging predicate evaluations (I guess I could
always add a breakpoint to a specific class from the rules engine -
which class?).
On the same topic would it be possible to add new operators to the language?
thanks,

Problem Comparing to Character Fields
by BrianKE
After asserrting the following objects and performing the rule I get the error
shown
PersonSummary personSummary = new PersonSummary();
personSummary.setPrId(new Long(217));
personSummary.setCmpntCd(new Character('R'));
PersonSummary personSummary2 = new PersonSummary();
personSummary2.setPrId(new Long(217));
personSummary2.setCmpntCd(new Character('G'));
##################################
rule "Duplicate Projection for same processing date by another component"
when
$j : PersonSummary($prId : prId, $cmpntCd : cmpntCd)
exists PersonSummary(this != $j, cmpntCd == $cmpntCd)
then
System.out.println("Error Found in rule Duplicate Component
Code");
end
##################################
java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.drools.rule.VariableRestriction$ObjectVariableContextEntry
at
org.drools.base.evaluators.CharacterFactory$CharacterEqualEvaluator.evaluateCac
hedRight(CharacterFactory.java:99)
at org.drools.rule.VariableRestriction.isAllowedCachedRight

at org.drools.rule.VariableConstraint.isAllowedCachedRight

If I change the exists rule to:
exists PersonSummary(this != $j, cmpntCd == 'A')
it works fine.
Is there something I have to do to compare two char objects.
Thanks
