WorkingMemory and JUnit
by John.Dubchak＠wellsfargo.com
Hi,
We are using Drools 3.0.6 using a test-driven approach. This works
really well in allowing us to get good test coverage around our rules
and to create those rules rather easily. However, as the number of
tests grows, the execution speed of the test suite in our Continous
Integration environment is taking longer and longer (expected, I know).
We've broken our rules out into separate .drl files and try to test them
in isolation by instantiating a new WorkingMemory in the setup method of
each test and then setting the WorkingMemory variable to null in the
tearDown method.
Is there a way to re-use the WorkingMemory object such that we don't
have to create a new one, at the start of a test, and have it
garbage-collected, at the end? How are others doing similar things?
Our goal is to reduce the execution time of our testsuite.
Thanks for any and all replies.

How can I write a rule that will only fire once for every object in the working memory
by Waruzjan Shahbazian
Hallo,
I was wondering if it's possible to create a rule that can only be
activated once. So if at a certain point the LHS is matching, it will be
fired and deactivated immediately, so the rule never ever gets fired for
the object it has updated, no matter if the LHS will matches after a few
updates()'s at a later time.
The only way I can achieve this, is by manually evaluating in the LHS if
the certain object has the certain values I am gonna set in the RHS, so
if it has, I don't fire the rule. But this takes some unnessery time and
I was wondering if it couldn't be more easier/faster.
Example:
----------------------------------------------------
$product : Product(title matches "(?i).*SOMEWORD.*", $productClasses :
productClasses)
$activated : Boolean(booleanValue == false)
from accumulate($productClass : ProductClass(
schema.code == "DROOLS", code == "012345" ) from $productClasses,
init(boolean activated = false;),
action( activated = true;),
result( activated ) )
then
Set the schema and code of the product
update($product)
----------------------------------------------------
So in the example above I am actually iterating over all the
productClasses of the product and checking if they have the right codes.
If I actually could just fire the rule on all the products
whose title matches "(?i).*SOMEWORD.*", and deactivate the rule for the
instance of the $product, I wouldn't have to accumulate over the list of
productClasses of the product to see if the rule
was fired before for this particulare product.
The "no-loop" attribute doesn't work here, because it gets ignored when
another rule updates the product. So when this rule has fired, and
updated the product, some other rule gets activated and updates the
product, and than this rule gets fired, because the LHS still matches.
Any help is welcome,
Waruzjan

BRMS locks jackrabbit
by safi
Hi,
we are trying to use Drools as a business rules engine and we have
encountered some difficulties. First of all when we log into BRMS, the
jackrabbit session is created and JCR is locked. This seems to be natural
and of course it is correct but we need to communicate with repository from
other applications which is not possible due to locking. Do you have any
idea how to simply solve it?
We have tried to sign out from the BRMS but is does not seem to work (to
unlock the JCR). The solution could be to use jackrabbit in model 2 or 3,
but we could not find any instructions how to configure BRMS to use these
models. There is a configuration file components.xml in the BRMS WEB-INF
folder which is used for configuring the repository, so is there any
property or anything which could be used for configuring BRMS to use a JNDI
to access the repository?
>From our point of view it seems that we will have to implement
JCRRepositoryConfigurator and set <property
name="configurator">outRepositoryConfigurator</property> into the
components.xml. Is it right?
We are using Drools 4.0.3 and we deploy BRMS to Glassfigh V2 b58g.
Thank you for your answers.
Safi

can i reuse rulebase
by jack wu
my profiler shows that it takes the same amount of time to do:
final RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase( RuleBase.RETEOO, conf );
as to do:
session.executeWithResults();
i am wondering if i can cache the ruleBase and do addPackage() and removePackage() for each executeWithResults().
the ducmentation says always create a new ruleBase. so i am kind of confused. thanks for the help.
thanks.

Drools low concurrency/high synchronization? !NOSIG!
by Ingomar Otter
Folks,
I am currently trying to scale our implementation by farming out
request into mutliple threads. I am on a 4 CPU Mac.
A few things I am wondering about:
1. Although I see an increase in CPU load when going from single to
multi-threaded processing the throughput increased marginally. I am
pretty sure that my measurements are correct. I have checked the GC
and this is not the source of congestion. My question here is whether
Drools is using lot's of synchronization that may explain this.
2. When I share the RuleBase accross threads (which I think is valid?)
I get interesting errors during execution. eg:

* I use StatelessSessions which are private to the threads

I would be grateful for any pointers for 'correct' use of Drools in an
MT environment.

Allocate more memory for the JVM when starting the application/server.
As an example, pass the following in to the JVM on startup:
-Xms128m -Xmx256m
By default, the JVM only allocate 64M of memory. You simply need to tell
the JVM to allocate more.

[rules-users] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space on Drools
4.0.4
Hi,
I am getting the following outofmemory error after upgrading from 3.0.x
to 4.0.4.
I use to never get this error before.
I don't think this is because of system memory issue.
I have 8 GB RAM Linux Machine with JBOSS Server.
Do anybody have this issue if so what is the resolution.
