Using compiled packages
by Dan Seaver
It is my intention to build all rule packages in Guvnor (or some other
process) before deploying the packages to a production environment. I see
that I can use a KnowledgeBuilder with a PKG type resource to create
KnowledgePackages, and then initialize a KnowledgeBase with the
KnowledgePackages.
Though this should do the job for me, is there a way to setup the
KnowledgeBase with the compiled packages without using a KnowledgeBuilder?
My desires are to keep overhead to a minimum and optimize performance during
the initialization step.
In Drools 4, I did this with RuleBase.addPackage using java's standard
serialization techniques. but am uncertain if I can use
KnowledgeBase.addPackages the same way. I assume the binary packages that
are built with Guvnor uses the new drools serialization, so I need to know
how to use that to serialize and deserialize packages as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.

KnowledgeAgent and Guvnor
by J Michael Dean
RuleAgent could be fed a properties file that included a URL enabling
connection to Guvnor. I cannot find any examples of using a
KnowledgeAgent to connect to Guvnor - can someone point me in the
right direction? Thank you.

single rule fire in drl
by yash kapoor
Hi All,
I have two questions related with drools 5.0
Q1- How can I triggered each rule one by one like
rule 01
when
......
then
......
End
rule 02
when
......
then
......
End
rule 03
when
......
then
......
End
If I write a command
*
final* StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession =
kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
ksession.fireAllRules();
then all rules will be fired but I want to executed only *rule 02* how can
I able to do this?
Q2-Can I make two objects in when section like
rule 01
when
obj1:Temp1();
obj2:Temp2();
then
System.out.println("Hello World");
End
Here Temp1 and Temp 2 is two different class ,when I am running this DRL
file is not parsed .
Please correct me if I am wrong .
Regards
Yash

Re: Drools solver performance question
by Geoffrey De Smet
Unfortunately, when a constraint rule no longer applies, the score
wouldn't decrement.
So this would work in a stateless working memory, where the entire score
is recalculated for every move of every step.
But drools-solver works in a statefull working memory, where only the
part of the score that is dirty is recalculated (="score delta") for
every move of every step.
Now I haven't experimented with the first option yet, though I am pretty
sure it's exponentially slower.
If anyone wants to try it out, it would be nice to confirm or break my
theory :)
PS: please keep this discussion on the mailing list, so others can
benefit from it too.
With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet

Sorry - in previous email forgot to include the following code, as the
NPE occurs when this routine is called at the addPackage call.
private void readDRLintoPackage(String rulesFile) throws
DroolsParserException, IOException, Exception {
Reader source = new
InputStreamReader(RulesEngine.class.getResourceAsStream("/" +
rulesFile));
PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
builder.addPackageFromDrl(source);
Package pkg = builder.getPackage();
rules = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
rules.addPackage(pkg);

Edson - build2589-rev25264-20090214-0603 is the snapshot that I
downloaded and installed. However, I have done a search on the source
and have not been able to locate
MiscTest.testPropertyChangeSupportNewAPI() in the source at all.
Interestingly, the DRL compilation does not crash if I use
@propertyChangeSupport() or @propertyChangeSupport(true) etc. But
otherwise it crashes. It dies in the following code:
public DecisionEngine() {
super();
try {
rulesEngine = new RulesEngine("GlucoseDroolRules00.drl");
//rulesEngine = new RulesEngine("rules_version1.drl");
//rulesEngine = new RulesEngine();
} catch (RulesEngineException e) {
System.out.println("Error in DecisionEngine constructor");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public RulesEngine(String rulesFile) throws RulesEngineException {
super();
try {
readDRLintoPackage(rulesFile);
addSpreadsheetToPackage();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
throw new RulesEngineException("Could not load/compile rules file:

}
}

If I do put () after the annotation, the DRL file does compile, but I
do NOT get dynamic behavior.
Thanks.

Can you provide the error messages your are getting?
Make sure you use at least build #2589, that include the changes.
https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/drools/2589/artifact/trunk/target/
There is a test case for this on
MiscTest.testPropertyChangeSupportNewAPI().

Re: [rules-users] Shadow facts
by J Michael Dean
I think I was not clear in my note. I used dynamic facts with Drools
4.07 but am migrating to Drools 5, where there is no longer a second
argument to the insert method. My POJOs do have property change
listeners.
Here is an example rule that activates but never apparently fires:
rule "Detect insulin on"
dialect "java"
when
decision : GlucoseDecision(currentInsulinDripRate > 0)
decisionState : GlucoseDecisionState( insulinOn == false )
then
decisionState.setInsulinOn(true);
end
The relevant method that is called on the RHS:
public void setInsulinOn(boolean insulinOn) {
boolean oldValue = this.isInsulinOn();
this.insulinOn = insulinOn;
firePropertyChange("insulinOn", oldValue, insulinOn);
}
The eventual call is to fireRules which then calls executeRules in a
callback. Previously, I had a Boolean argument to the insert
statements and all the code worked with the old RuleBase, RuleAgent
objects. But since changing to KnowledgeSession, the rules
do not appear to fire. Here are the relevant methods:
public void executeRules(WorkingEnvironmentCallback callback) {
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession =
kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
callback.initEnvironment(ksession);
ksession.fireAllRules();
ksession.dispose();
}
public void fireRules(final GlucoseDecision glucoseDecision, final
GlucoseDecisionState decisionState) {
rulesEngine.executeRules(new WorkingEnvironmentCallback() {
public void initEnvironment(StatefulKnowledgeSession workingMemory) {
workingMemory.insert(glucoseDecision);
workingMemory.insert(decisionState);
}
});
}

Drools-solver performance optimizations?
by Wim Vancroonenburg
Hi,
I'm a student currently evaluating Drools Solver for my dissertation. I am
currently trying to solve an optimization problem with two different solvers
(one of which is Drools Solver) and I am comparing the results with earlier
obtained results from literature. However I am having some troubles with the
performance of Drools Solver, and I was hoping if someone could look at my
rules to see if they could be tuned:
rule "patientsToBeAssignedToRoomsOfAppropriateSex"
when
$n : Night();
$room : Room(sexRestriction == Sex.Dependent && capacity >
1);
$genders : ArrayList(size>1) from collect(
PatientStay(bed.room == $room, night == $n) );
exists PatientStay(bed.room == $room, night == $n, $a :
admission,
eval(((PatientStay)$genders.get(0)).getAdmission().getPatient().getSex() !=
$a.getPatient().getSex()));
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("patientsToBeAssignedToRoomsOfAppropriateSex",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_HARD,50,$room,$n));
end
rule "hasRequiredRoomProperties"
when
$pr : RequiredRoomPropertiesConstraint($a : admission, $r :
room, $w : weight );
$ps : PatientStay(admission == $a, bed.room == $r);
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("hasPreferredRoomProperties",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,50*$w,$ps));
end
rule "unplannedTransfers"
when
$ps : PatientStay($a : admission, $b : bed, $n : night);
$ps2 : PatientStay(admission == $a, bed != $b, $n2 :
night,eval($n.getIndex()+1 == $n2.getIndex()));
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("unplannedTransfers",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,110,$ps,$ps2));
end
rule "hasPreferredRoomProperties"
when
$pr : PreferredRoomPropertiesConstraint($a : admission, $r :
room, $w : weight );
$ps : PatientStay(admission == $a, bed.room == $r);
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("hasPreferredRoomProperties",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,20*$w,$ps));
end
rule "meetsRoomPreference"
when
$mr : MeetsRoomPreferenceConstraint($a : admission, $r :
room);
$ps : PatientStay(admission == $a, bed.room == $r);
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("meetsRoomPreference",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,8,$ps));
end
rule "inGoodDepartment"
when
$gd : GoodDepartmentConstraint($a : admission, $d :
department);
$ps : PatientStay(admission == $a, $b : bed,
eval($b.getRoom().getDepartment().equals($d)));
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("inGoodDepartment",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,10,$ps));
end
rule "inGoodRoom"
when
$gr : GoodRoomConstraint($a : admission, $r : room, $w :
weight);
$ps : PatientStay(admission == $a, bed.room == $r);
then
insertLogical(new
IntConstraintOccurrence("inGoodRoom",ConstraintType.NEGATIVE_SOFT,10*$w,$ps));
end
rule "calcScore"
salience -10
when
$count : Number() from accumulate(
IntConstraintOccurrence($w : weight) ,
sum($w) );
then
scoreCalculator.setScore(-$count.doubleValue());
end
The classes with **Constraint in it are possible combinations that cause a
constraint to be violated, and are calculated and inserted at initialization
time (and are never changed). I know that the rule
"patientsToBeAssignedToRoomsOfAppropriateSex" is fairly complex, but even
when I remove it, the performance is not fantastic. Is there anything else I
can do to get better performance? I'm already using JDK 1.6 and -server
mode. Furthermore, all classes used here have their default equals and
hashCode methods, so they don't have an impact on performance.
Sincerely,
Wim Vancroonenburg
