Storing temp results in eval block
by cfili
Hi,
I have just started using Drools 4.0 and I am very pleased so far. I do
have one question regarding storage of a result from within an eval block.
For example if I have the following eval in my rule:
eval((value1 /value2) > 0.5)
Is there a way to store the result of value1/value2 in a temp variable so
that it can be accessed in the "then" part of my rule? I want to avoid
recomputing the result again in the then section.
Thanks.

collect return random order
by Manukyan, Sergey
Folks,
When using collect on List of items with some filter (criteria), I need
to have result in the same order as it was received:
F.e. I have a list of suppliers :
List() : Supplier("FIRST", Status.ACTIVE), Supplier("SECOND",
Status.INACTIVE), Supplier("THIRD", Status.INACTIVE)
And I need to find first INACTIVE supplier, so it must be SECOND
supplier.
So doing the following :
When
$l : List() // list of suppliers
$inactive_supp : ArrayList() from collect Supplier(status ==
Status.INACTIVE) from $l
Then
System.out.println($l); // prints FIRST, SECOND, THIRD
System.out.println($inactive_supp); // prints THIRD, SECOND ....
Instead of SECOND , THIRD
So I am getting THIRD supplier instead of SECOND as the result..
Please advise if it is a bug .., or there is another way of doing
that...
Thanks,
-Sergey

How to catch Exceptions when firing rules
by Yang Song
Hi,
Anyone knows how to catch the exception when firing the rules?
I wrapped the session.fireAllRules() method using try...catch, however it
doesn't work: when someone wrote bad code in the rule's action part, the
Exception will be thrown and printed to the stderr, and this will make the
rule engine stop working -- the try...catch outside doesn't help anything.
If the exception thrown from the rule's action part can be caught
externally, the system can be protected from interrupting Exception.
try {
_log.debug("Firing rules in : " + getName());
session.fireAllRules();
} catch (Exception e) {
_log.info("Error when firing rules: ", e);
}
Thanks,
Yang

Problems with Global Date Object
by Brian Enderle
I would like to create a new Date object representing the current date and use
that as a global. I have tried the following:
(in Java code)
setGlobal("todaysDate", new Date());
(in rules file)
global java.utils.Date todaysDate;
rule "LevelTwo: Associate birth date must be before today"
when
Associate(birthDt <= todaysDate)
then
System.out.println("Birth Date must be before today");
end
with this code I get the following error:
Error creating bean with name 'ruleBase' defined in class path resource
[spring-beans.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is
org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage: org.drools.compiler.GlobalError@b51c29
Caused by: org.drools.rule.InvalidRulePackage:
org.drools.compiler.GlobalError@b51c29
at org.drools.rule.Package.checkValidity(Package.java:408)
at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.addPackage
(AbstractRuleBase.java:288)
at com.sample.RuleBaseBeanFactory.afterPropertiesSet
(RuleBaseBeanFactory.java:63)
etc...
I have also tried to set a constant date with the date format that I found in
the Drools docs (dd-MMM-yyyy) like such:
statefulSession.setGlobal("todaysDate", "10-Jul-1974");
and I get the same error message.
The rule does work correctly when I hard code a value in place of todaysDate
within the rule so I know the rule works (but obviously that is not an option).
What is the proper way to set a Date global? Is it possible this is a bug?
Thanks in advance,

Programmatically get packages/snapshot list from JBRMS
by Erin
Hi guys,
The application we're developing requires that we be able to
programmatically get a list of all the Snapshots currently deployed on the
JBRMS.
The requirement is kinda like this -
(i) User A creates several rule packages and deploys snapshots of them
through the JBRMS.
(ii )User B, utilizing our application, should get a listing of all the
rules currently available from JBRMS (categorized in some manner) and choose
which rules should be executed.
(iii) Whenver User A, updates/deploys a package, it should reflect in User
B's application.
Does the JBRMS currently support this, along with some means of
categorization? If not, what would you suggest as the best way to emulate
this feature? (We're adamant on using JBRMS, it's too good!).
Thanks in advance (And apologies too, if the question is dumb :o)

Data Driven Object Models and BRMS validation
by Knapp, Barry
Question:
What is the best way to customize the validation in the BRMS? Is there
a callout method that exists in JBoss Rules already to override the
current validator with a custom validator?
Reason:
I have a data driven object models and my users create rules in decision
tables.
I will have a decision table column header such as
<Attribute> equals <value>
and the user will enter a value in the cell for the 3 parameters
DRIVER, age, 23
The java mapping for the condition column would be like:
eval($1.isHashmapValueEqual("$2", "$3"))
After parsing the decision table, the DRL would look like this
DRIVER.isHashmapValueEqual("age", "23");
In this scenario, I do not have a DRIVER class until the rule is parsed
and I create a proxy DRIVER class to use for rules execution. This
proxy class generation is performed on the execution side on application
startup and not on the management side. The management side never has a
DRIVER to validate the rule against.
