need some advice in defining rules
by Brody bach
Hi all,
I'm having difficulty in defining a rule for the following problem:
We need to check if within a week there are more than 5 objects of type
Reminder inserted into Memory.
(one day corresponds to one object)
The number of the inserted objects depends on the usage of the application.
That means there could be nothing, 1, 2, or any number of the objects.
Before, within a session, I inserted a list containg data from within one
week (7 days).
Than I can check using the rule:
when:
$list : list(size > 5)
Reminder() from $list
no String(trim == "limit reached");
then
System.out.println("This rule fires");
insert new String("limit reached");
Now I need to insert a list containing data from a whole month, but I still
need to check whether within one week there are more than 5 reminders exist.
so, the constraint list> 5 can't be used anymore for a single list. I tried
to break the whole list in several smaller list, where each list represents
one week.
Now the problem is, if the rule fires for a certain week, than it won't work
for the following weeks anymore.
My idea is then to insert an integer containing specific number to the
current list, i.e. the calendar week (i.e insert new Integer(52)) and then
to prove this in LHS; but the problem is now how to prove the week number in
LHS? as I remeber, a function can only be called within an eval statement
and in this case actually I should only prove the existence of an Integer
Hope my explanation is quite understandable and looking forward for any
hints
Regards

problem escaping quote in eval
by samlotti
Hello,
I'm trying to construct a rule in drool V4 that contains and eval and a
literal string that may contain quotes. I've tried escaping the quote but
get the error below. The \" works outside an eval.
rule "evalList2"
when
Var( eval( "tt".equals("t\"t")))
then
System.out.println( "evalList2" );
end
Error:
java.lang.NullPointerException:
at
org.drools.rule.PredicateConstraint.createContextEntry(PredicateConstraint.java:201)
at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.createMemory(AlphaNode.java:230)
...
It looks like a change was made to V3 to fix this but doesnt appear to work
in V4, does anyone know how to construct this type of rule?
Thanks
Sam

Drools 4.0.7 - Rules not fired
by Benoit VILLAUMIE
Hello,
I am using Drools engine 4.0.7 and Eclipse 3.3 drools plugin.
I have a very basic/dumb problem but I do not understand where my error is :
I have 2 rules
---------------------------------
package poc
import poc.FlashFact;
*rule "HP one"*
when
FlashFact( homepage == "one");
then
System.out.println("*** HP one");
end
*rule "HP commons"*
when
FlashFact();
then
System.out.println("*** HP commons ");
end
----------------------------------
I insert a FlashFact which homepage is set with "one" value.
In my understanding, both rules "HP one" and "HP commons" should be
fired. Instead, only "HP commons" is launched. I have compared with the
Drools State example (which works fine), but I do not notice nothing.
Thanks for your help.
The code of the FlashFact class
---------------------------------
package poc;
public class FlashFact {
public FlashFact() {
this(null);
}
public FlashFact(String homepage) {
this.setHomepage(homepage);
}
private String homepage;
/**
* @return the homepage
*/
public final String getHomepage() {
return this.homepage;
}
/**
* @param homepage the homepage to set
*/
public final void setHomepage(String homepage) {
this.homepage = homepage;
}
}
---------------------------------
The code of the launcher
---------------------------------
package poc;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import org.drools.RuleBase;
import org.drools.RuleBaseFactory;
import org.drools.StatefulSession;
import org.drools.audit.WorkingMemoryFileLogger;
import org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder;
public class FlashUndeployedRulesMain {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
StatefulSession session = null;
WorkingMemoryFileLogger logger = null;
try {
PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
builder.addPackageFromDrl(new InputStreamReader(
FlashUndeployedRulesMain.class.getClassLoader()
.getResourceAsStream(RULE)));
final RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
ruleBase.addPackage(builder.getPackage());
session = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
logger = new WorkingMemoryFileLogger(
session);
logger.setFileName("log/flash");
// inserting facts
FlashFact HPFrance = new FlashFact("one");
session.insert(HPFrance);
session.fireAllRules();
} finally {
if(session != null) {session.dispose();}
if(logger != null) {logger.writeToDisk();}
}
}
private static final String RULE = "poc/Flash.drl";
