Drools 4.0, Support for multiple pattern in accumulate source pattern
by Juergen
It appears as if accumulate does support only a single pattern CE as
source pattern, e.g.:
Number() from accumulate(
Cheese(
price : price
),
sum( price )
)
Is it possible to have more than one pattern in the source pattern, e.g.:
Number() from accumulate(
Cheese(
price : price,
type : type
)
Person(
favouriteCheese == type,
age > 30
),
sum( price )
)
The same could be said for collect, but there the problem to specify
which item of a matching tuple is to be collected, but this could be
handled recreating collect via accumulate, e.g.:
Collection() from accumulate(
cheese : Cheese(
type : type
)
Person(
favouriteCheese == type,
age > 30
),
collect( cheese )
)

Blurring the lines of jBPM and Drools
by keithnielsen
I have been researching both jBPM and Drools for sometime now and am
wondering what the future holds for jBPM. This is based on my research of
Drools 5, which is bringing what I would consider more BPM constructs into
the core engine, things such as Wait States, Human Tasks, etc. One of the
main things I don't see yet is the whole persistence and support of long
running processes. My question is will the trend with Drools continue,
eventually consuming jBPM?
I must say that my perception is that Drools is more active which makes me
wonder if I should go with Drools hoping that it builds out more BPM
features going forward.
Thanks

ANT Compile issues
by Bhamidi, Krishna
Hi,
I am using DROOLs 5.0.0 CR1 and use the compiler from Drools-Ant. When I attempt to execute the rules using a rule agent, I get an exception that in part reads
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readSerialData(ObjectInputStream.java:1820)
(Full stack follows this e-mail.) However, when I download the pkg file for the same ruleset from Guvnor and use it in the rule agent, it runs fine.
I use the following for building -
<taskdef name="compiler" classname="org.drools.contrib.DroolsCompilerAntTask" classpathref="compiler.classpath" />
<compiler srcdir="../${rulesDirectory}" tofile="../${buildDirectory}/${projectName}_rules.pkg"
classpath="../${buildDirectory}/${projectName}_rules.jar"
binformat="package">
<include name="*.drl" />
<include name="*.brl" />
<include name="*.xml" />
<include name="*.dslr" />
<include name="*.xls" />
</compiler>
What I should do to compile correctly?

Performance of compiler
by Christian Nedregård
Hi.
My environment: Win XP SP3, 2x2.13 GHz cpu, 3GB RAM, Drools 4.0.7, JDK
1.4.2_11, java compiler: JANINO, dialect: java.
We have about 850 drl's with 5 - 10 conditions in each. 0 -2 evals in each.
The drl's only contain one rule each.
We are using Drools programatically by compiling the drls using
PackageBuilder.addPackageFromDrl and adding them to a RuleBase using
RuleBase.addPackage(PackageBuilder.getPackage())
When we are building our rule base we are never able to compile more than 1
-2 rules per second, which means we need over 10 minutes (at 100% cpu) to
build our rulebase.
Profiling shows 68% cpu time in
org.drools.rule.builder.GroupElementBuilder.build and 18% cpu time in
org.codehaus.janino.Compiler.compile.
We have experimented by changing the compiler to ECLIPSE and the dialect to
mvel but the results are the same.
We have experimented using one PackageBuilder instance per drl or grouping
drls by package and sharing a builder per package. Same result in both
scenarios.
We have also expermimented with compiling concurrently in serveral threads.
Again, about the same result.
My question is: Is this the performance we can expect from the compiler or
are we doing something fundamentally wrong?
Below is an example of one of our drls. This one contains no evals, but
still takes more than 1 second to compile. If anyone can spot some issues
with the way we are doing things the feedback would be much apreciated :)
------------------------------------
package domain.core.productoffer.rules.subscriptiontype
import type.productoffer.ProductOfferRuleEvent
import domain.core.subscription.Subscription
import domain.core.subscription.SubscribedService
import type.subscription.ActionTypeEnum
import domain.core.productoffer.ProductOffer
import domain.rules.RuleEvent
global domain.core.productoffer.RuleValidationReport validationResult
rule "RequiredVProducts"
when
ProductOfferRuleEvent(id == '3')
ProductOffer(id.value == 31963)
$subscription:Subscription()
not ( SubscribedService(status != ActionTypeEnum.REMOVE_CANCEL &&
productId.value in (57, 69) ) from
$subscription.getAllChildSubscribedServices())
then
validationResult.addValidationMessage("2069", "For product offer
rule event with id '3' and product offer with id=31963 subscription must
have one of the following VProducts: 57, 69.");
end

Conversion from Normal Decision Tables to Web-Based Tables and vice-versa
by Vikrant Yagnick
Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has had a requirement where they would need to convert their normal decision tables into web-based decision tables(or vice-versa).
If someone has already done this, can they share either some code or pointers to how this can be done? (I guess it will involving parsing the Excel and creating the XML for the decision table).
Will this be a useful feature to have?
Cheers,
Vikrant

loading rules dynamically
by techy
Hi,
If the rules,conditions,consequences have to loaded from the database. I
can think of following two approach. what would be right approach( I will
have upto 1200 rules in the db)
1. Programmatically inject the rules into rule engine using drools API.
2. Read the rules from the database and create drl or dsl file for them and
inject into rule engine.
Thanks

Why is a flat object recommended?
by Christie, Blair
In the documents this is dicussed briefly:
"). Object models can often have complex relationships and hierarchies
in them - for rules you will want to simplify and flatten the model
where possible, and let the rule engine infer relationships (as it
provides future flexibility."
What does it mean that the rule engine can infer relationships?
Are there performance reasons for having a flat model?

Blair

impossible to dispose tomcat devloader when i reload context (drools keep reference)...
by Emmanuel GREFFET (France)
Hello
I'm Emmanuel from France. (sorry for my English)
We use drools 4.0.7 in a hospital application.
We load drools and our programs (services) with tomcat Devloader (5.5.9)
We use drools in statefullsession (retract and insert facts by rules in a
ruleFlow).
everything is perfect for us, except a little problem of "dispose" with
tomcat due to drools.
Through the Tomcat console when we try to restart our webapp, tomcat can't
dispose the old Devloader
(in Eclipse we can see that many drools class use class attribute
ClassLoader without any dispose ???)
In production, we used different webapps in a Tomcat, so we can't easely
stop Tomcat, so until we stop tomcat, the reload of the webapps is longer
and longer ... (many devloader(s) can't dispose)...
anyone has had this problem ?
Thank you.
Emmanuel

Problems setting MySQL for the human task process server....
by Cristiano Gavião
Hi,
I was trying to change the persistence settings for human task process
server for using MySQL instead of H2DB.
I was following the Drools Flows Documentation on chapter 5.1.3.:
Configuring Persistence.(https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/drools/lastSuccessfulBui...
#d0e1157)
I read on docs that I should override the persistence.xml of the
drools-process-enterprise.jar, create the drools.session.conf with
some contents (i don`t undestand` what it is...) and put them on my
project META-INF directory... ok?
I created the files as stated on docs but it didn't work... My
example runned ok, but using the H2DB and not my MYSQL.
// Use persistence.xml configuration
emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.drools.persistence.jpa");
taskService = new TaskService(emf);
taskSession = taskService.createSession();
server = new MinaTaskServer(taskService);
Thread thread = new Thread(server);
thread.start();
Thread.sleep(500);
System.out.println("Server started ...");
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect"
value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"
value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://
localhost/drools" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit" value="false" />
<property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
</properties>
After some investigation I could see that the example recommended by
Mark Proctor (TaskLifeCycleTest.java, and others that use
MinaTaskServer) use <persistence-unit name = "org.drools.task"> that
is setting on drools-process-task.jar and not the
"org.drools.persistence.jpa" on drools-process-enterprise.jar as
stated on documentation...
First question, which one should I use for use the Drools Flows Server
and Client?
emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory( "org.drools.task" );
emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.drools.persistence.jpa");
I test the first option. I changed the persistence.xml file and use
the code below:
// Use persistence.xml configuration
emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.drools.task");
taskService = new TaskService(emf);
taskSession = taskService.createSession();
server = new MinaTaskServer(taskService);
Thread thread = new Thread(server);
thread.start();
Thread.sleep(500);
System.out.println("Server started ...");
Hummm.... It runs and connect well to my MySQL. but now it brings me a
error...
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Named query not found:
UnescalatedDeadlines
at
org
.hibernate
.ejb
.AbstractEntityManagerImpl
.createNamedQuery(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:108)
at org.drools.task.service.TaskService.<init>(TaskService.java:84)
at org.drools.task.service.TaskService.<init>(TaskService.java:68)
It sounds like it was not possible to find orm.xml that is on META-INF
of drools-process-task.jar.
But when I copy the orm.xml file to my project META-INF it works ok....
Could someone give some ideas how can I solve this problem..
Thanks a lot
Cristiano
