Another problem
by Natraj Gudla
Hi, I am using Drools 3.0.6, and facing a peculiar problem.
My rule:
*
rule* "Calculate Business profit,1"*
**salience* 1000
*when
**EMIAgainstProperty ( BP1 : refBP1 )
*emi : EMIAgainstProperty ( businessProfit2 > BP1 )
*then* *
*System.out.println(" BP "+(emi.getBusinessProfit1
()+emi.getBusinessProfit2())/2);*
*emi.setBusinessProfit((emi.getBusinessProfit1
()+emi.getBusinessProfit2())/2);*
**end*
**
The above line in bold inside the condition part seem to create problem for
rule evaluation. WHen i have this, the rule does not show up in the Agenda
view, hence i dont see the console print in the action part. As soon as i
remove this line and replace BP1 with 1.5 in the second line, i see the rule
being fired.
As far as i understand, I am doing a declaration to set refBP1 an object
attribute to BP1, which i later use.What is that i am missing here? My fact
has proper getter and setters for refBP1 attribute.
Thanks

Re: [rules-users] Odd static inner class behavior
by Edson Tirelli
Eric,
Thanks, I understand now.
What happens is that if both DRL files declare the same package name,
all their contents will be merged. It means that you would end up with both
imports in the same namespace:
import com.company.DataClass.AlternativeKey;
import com.company.AnotherClass.AlternativeKey;
And so the engine will raise an error saying that it does not know
which one you are refering to when you write simply:
AlternativeKey
I think the engine behavior is correct, since the idea of loading two
different files with the same name space into the same package builder is to
merge them, or even replace (update) that eventually have the same name.
What do you think?

Problems Extending the Golfer example - Cartesian joins ??
by Simon French
Hi,
After attending a session with Mark Proctor in London I was inspired to play
around with Drools in a slightly different way than we use it for in the
workplace, and try and solve a puzzle.
Unfortunately I couldn't get Drools to solve it as I kept getting memory
problems (I believe are cartesian joins being the problem),
so I decided to extend the golfer example to see if I got the same problem
I added two new names and a new integer property, club
// create all possible Golfer objects
String[] names = new String[] { "Fred", "Joe", "Bob", "Tom",
"Des", "Terry" };
String[] colors = new String[] { "red", "blue", "plaid",
"orange","black", "white" };
int[] positions = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
int[] clubs = new int[] {9,8,7,4,5,5};
for ( int n = 0; n < names.length; n++ ) {
for ( int c = 0; c < colors.length; c++ ) {
for ( int p = 0; p < positions.length; p++ ) {
for ( int q = 0; q < clubs.length; q++ ) {
session.insert(new Golfer( names[n],
colors[c], positions[p], clubs[q]) );
....
Then changed the golder.drl to:
package com.sample
import com.sample.Golfer;
rule "Golfer Riddle"
when
// A golfer named Fred,
Golfer( name == "Fred",
$fredsPosition : position, $fredsColor : color, $fredsClub :
club )
// Der Golfer hinter Fred trägt blau
Golfer( $unknownsName : name != "Fred",
$unknownsPosition : position == ( $fredsPosition + 1 ),
$unknownsColor : color == "blue", color != $fredsColor,
$unknownsClub : club == 5 )
// Joe steht an zweiter Stelle
Golfer( name == "Joe", $joesPosition : position == 2,
position != $fredsPosition,
$joesColor : color != $fredsColor,
$joesClub : club == 5 )
// Bob traegt Karo
Golfer( name == "Bob",
name != $unknownsName,
$bobsPosition : position != $fredsPosition,
position != $unknownsPosition, position !=
$joesPosition,
$bobsColor : color == "plaid",
color != $fredsColor, color != $joesColor,
color != $unknownsColor,
$bobsClub : club < $joesClub )
// Tom ist nicht 1. oder 4., traegt kein Orange
Golfer( $tomsName : name == "Tom",
$tomsPosition : position != 1, position != 4,
position != $fredsPosition, position != $joesPosition,
position != $bobsPosition,
$tomsColor : color != "orange", color != "blue",
color != $fredsColor, color != $joesColor,
color != $bobsColor )
Golfer ( $des : name == "Des", $desPosition : position <
$fredsPosition, $desColor : color != "blue",
color != $fredsColor, color != $joesColor,
color != $bobsColor )
Golfer ( $terry : name == "Terry", $terryPosition : position <
$desPosition, $terryColor : color != "blue",
color != $fredsColor, color != $joesColor,
color != $bobsColor )
then
System.out.println( "Fred " + $fredsPosition + " " + $fredsColor );
System.out.println( "Joe " + $joesPosition + " " + $joesColor );
System.out.println( "Bob " + $bobsPosition + " " + $bobsColor );
System.out.println( "Tom " + $tomsPosition + " " + $tomsColor );
System.out.println( "Des " + $desPosition + " " + $desColor );
System.out.println( "terry " + $terryPosition + " " + $terryColor
);
end
After a couple of minutes of processing I got:-
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I also changed java memory allocation with -Xms1640M -Xmx1640M (The most I
can allocate on my PC), and tried running it as a stateless session too.
Is there anything else I can do, or is this simply pushing drools too far
(surely not!!) ?
I'm very keen on pushing this technology as much as possible in our
workplace and I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance

Drools Puzzle #1: Ages of the sons
by Ellen Zhao
Hallo all!
I talked about running a periodic puzzle solving contest in the user
mailing list to some people in the drools team. They have never done
it before so did not know how this contest will come out. However, I
was allowed to make the first try. If no body is interested, there
won't be any Drools Puzzle #2. Sorry for the spam if you do not like
this at all. In the end of this email you can see how I came up with
this idea.
So, here is the puzzle for round No. 1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficulty level: settler
An old man asked a mathematician to guess the ages of his three sons.
Old man said: "The product of their ages is 36."
Mathematician said: "I need more information."
Old man said:"Over there you can see a building. The sum of their ages
equals the number of the windows in that building."
After a short while the mathematician said: "I need more information."
Old man said: "The oldest son has blue eyes."
Mathematician said: "I got it."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a simple puzzle, you may not need any computer to solve it.
But here are the rules:
1. Solution (the core algorithm) must be written in drools. Any
dialect is allowed. Any DSL is allowed.
2. Any kind of user interface is allowed.
3. Make your program as easy to test as possible. Please attach a
simple and short readme file about how to build/test/deploy it.
4. The drools team will measure the performance of all submissions on
a same computer.
3. The winner will be allowed to post the next puzzle.
4. Any participator, no matter finally win or not, will get points for
each participation. Drools team will run a global ranking system and
build a hall of fame for all participators. At the end of the year,
the one who has most points will be awarded with ( Drools team please
fill here, something like a T-shirt or ?). Top ten people in the hall
of fame will be awarded with (Drools team please fill here).
5. If there are many, many participators, the Drools team might
consider things like "shortest run-time award", "least memory-usage
award", "best UI award", "shortest code award", etc. for each puzzle.
6. Currently the puzzle will come once half month. Submission deadline
of this round is August 15th, 2007.
7. Please do not post your solution to the user mailing list, since
everybody can see your program before the deadline. Drools team please
specify an email account to which participators can post solutions.
8. Best/inspiring solutions will be disclosed when next round is on.
9. If any Drools bug is caught during your solving of the puzzle, the
Drools team will award you with (Drools team please fill here).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any constructive advice and suggestion about the rules of Drools
Puzzle is welcome.
Here is guideline for posting puzzles:
1. You do not want to scare people away with too difficult puzzles or
bore people with questions like 1+1=?, so please consider a proper
difficulty level for the puzzle.
2. NP-complete or NP-hard is okay. For some NP-hard problems,
sub-optimal solutions can be achieved efficiently. But do please tag
the difficulty level as something like "veteran", "guru", etc.
3. Complexity aside, there is still scope and testability
consideration. Puzzles like "How to integrate my 15 different kind of
services objects and my entity home with Drools?" might be
algorithmically not difficult, but the application-building can really
take a lot of time and energy, and it is not straightforward to test
the solution.
4. The purposes of this contest are:
4.1 To learn from each other, enhance our programming skill and
learn good algorithms, good implementations.
4.2 To encourage people to explore features of Drools.
4.3 For fun.
So your puzzle should not take too much work to solve. It should not
mentally or physically torture participators.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This idea was inspired by a "Weekly Challenge" running on dpreview.com
user forum and GOTM from http://gotm.civfanatics.net/
On dpreview.com, a subject is posted by the winner of the prior week,
people can post their photos to compete. On civfanatics.net, an
initial configuration file is posted each month, and gamers submit
their end results for ranking. Both of these two non-official contests
are running very well, I hope Drools Puzzle will turn out a fun thing
too.
Regards and nice weekend,
Ellen

Re: Production rules vs. ECA Rules
by qmars765＠gmx.de
Hi Mark,
in which constellations i should select ECAs? What is the difference between events in ECAs and the occurrence of a certain set of facts in WorkingMemory in case of production rules?
In following document they classify ECAs and production rules both as reactive rules, but they state they are somehow different:
http://www.pms.ifi.lmu.de/publikationen/PMS-FB/PMS-FB-2007-8/PMS-FB-2007-...
And they state that JBoss Rules is only for production rules.
So can I use JBoss Rules for implementing ECAs?
Thanks and best regards,
Kioumars

ECA is really a specialised subset of Product Rules; focusing more on
generic event generation and event handling.

Dynamic Packaging using Drools 4.0.0
by Jin, Ming
I am facing a tough problem requiring some abnormal solutions: The
requirements calls for million rules (they all think about that at the
beginning), so we are thinking about packaging rules on the fly during
execution instead caching all the rules in the rules engine. All the
rules will be pre-compiled and serialized to storage. We would like to
achieve to separate the Package and Rule's objects, and dynamically
compose the Package object when needed.
I tried the following steps and was enable to move forward beyond step
5:
1. Create the Package object by using
PackageBuilder().addPackageFromDrl(drl_file).
2. For each rule under the Package object, remove it from Package by
calling Package().removeRule(rule), then serialize it to storage.
3. Serialize the now empty Package object to storage.
<!-- when recompose the Package object, perform the following steps -->
4. Deserialize the Package.
5. Deserialize the Rule objects - this is where I encountered an
ClassNotFoundException at the end of the message
6. Using Package().addRule(rule) to add needed rules - not tried yet.
7. Add the package to RuleBase..... as normally do.

Error from TroubleTicket example in official 4.0GA drools-examples-drl download
by Shahad Ahmed
I get the following two errors reported by Eclipse when I import the
official 4.0 GA download version of the drools-examples-drl project:
1. Unable to find unambiguously defined class 'Customer', candidates are: [
org.drools.examples.Customer,
org.drools.examples.TroubleTicketExample$Customer]
drools-examples-drl/src/main/rules/org/drools/examples in TroubleTicket.drl
2. Unable to find unambiguously defined class 'Customer', candidates are: [
org.drools.examples.TroubleTicketExampleWithDSL$Customer,
org.drools.examples.Customer]
drools-examples-drl/src/main/rules/org/drools/examples in
TroubleTicketWithDSL.drl
Is this a bug in 4.0GA , or is there further configuration required after
importing the examples project? I'm using the 4.0GA release version of the
drools Eclipse plug-in.
I also noticed that I don't get this error from the latest version of drools
in the trunk (i.e. including post 4.0GA changes), so maybe this has already
been fixed since release 4.0GA?
Here's the stack when you try and run the TroubleTicketExample.java example:
