Unexpected performance difference on different hardware
by Tim 4076
My dev box runs Windows XP with an oldish intel core 2. It processes my
rules in 13s, with a peak memory usage of about 600MB.
When I run the exact same code on my 64bit linux server with a quad 2.40Ghz
Xeon, it takes 22s and uses a peak of 1.5Gb memory.
What on earth is going on here? I would expect it to run faster on the
server and for the memory usage to be similar.
Cheers,

Re: [rules-users] Get rid of redundant conditions in combined rules.
by Leonardo Gomes
If your problem is performance, don't worry. Conditions evaluation is
shared, so in the second rule you won't re-evaluate the entire working
memory (to know more:http://www.drdobbs.com/184405218).
If you're worried about not having to repeat the conditions on the second
rule, I would create inferred facts when the first rule matches and use then
in the second rule + the additional conditions.
Something like:
Rule1:
when
customer:Customer(town=="London")
then
insert new LondonCustomer( customer );
Rule2:
when
london : LondonCustomer(customer.job=="TEACHER")
then
System.out.println(london.customer.getLname() + " is a
teacher");

installing Drools using maven
by Tina Vießmann
Hi,
I would like to install drools for one of my projects using maven. (I've
already ask the maven mailinglist. They said I shall ask here, because
it's Drools related.)
I've set up the repository and the drools reference in my projects POM file.
<repository>
<id>Jboss Drools Nexus Repository</id>
<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.drools</groupId>
<artifactId>drools</artifactId>
<version>5.1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
I know the referenced repository directory contains no jar file, because
I need the whole drools project. I thought the POM contained in the
repository dir would manage that. Because I'm new to Maven, I don't know
if I've configured something wrong or what's the trick. Running my
project I get:
Validation Messages:
[0] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for
org.drools:drools:jar
So how can I set drools as a project dependency?
Thank you for your help!

Decision Table evaluating empty cell condition
by Uday Kodukula
Hello,
I am currently working with Drools Decision tables, and have created a
decision table to determine availability of offers.
I have Offer Entities which contain a collection of "groups" that the offer
can belong to. That collection contains strings of ids that identify those
groups.
The decision table essentially has two columns, where the first column
checks to see if any of the comma separated list of group ids are present in
the collection items of the offer entities in working memory. So essentially
I'm trying to do a many to many existence check here.
So for example:
Let us suppose we have the following two offer entities:
Offer 1:
Name: "Acme Mice"
Groups: {"70104","70004","70000"}
Offer 2:
Name: "Acme Keyboard"
Groups "{"70104", "50404, "32825"}
Now in my decision table I have the following condition for checking the
"groups property"
CONDITION
ACTION
o: Offer
forall(||){groups contains $}
o.setAvail($param);
Offers that contain any of the following group ids
Is Available?
"70000","70104"
TRUE
""
TRUE
Now this works fine for those groups that are mentioned, but the second rule
which is the case where the group condition doesn't matter, but still needs
to fire the rule and result in action of set Avail to true, never happens.
This appears to be because the empty string "" is not contained in the
collection of groups.
Has anyone experienced this and know a way around this? I've tried checking
to see if the "" == $param or null, but I get errors like:
Description Resource Path Location Type
[ERR 101] Line 20:41 no viable alternative at input '""' in rule
"Availability_11" in pattern Offer Availability.xls
Thanks for your time!

Re: [rules-users] Get rid of redundant conditions in combined rules.
by Wolfgang Laun
I think that a single helper class
class Marker {
String property;
Object target;
}
would be sufficient:
// 1st consequence
insert( new Tag( "London", customer ) );
// 2nd condition
Tag( property == "London", $target : target )
Customer( this == $target, job == "teacher" )
You may need to have a strategy for retracting obsolete Tag facts.

Re: [rules-users] Pattern aggregation
by Greg Barton
It would be nice if we had an example of some rules. That way we can rule out obvious performance killers like cartesian products and multiple "from" clauses in one rule.

Hi,
I'm trying to use drools to do grouping of data according to patterns defined in my rules, but I'm having issues creating something that works in a reasonable amount of time (seconds). I've tried all sorts of permutations without much luck and would like to hear how others would do the same thing.
To give an example: I've got a big batch of transaction records and I want to aggregate all the records where the consumer id and product category are the same and the purchases were made within an hour of each other.
The fact that its matching the same values between facts, rather than against constants seems to scupper it somewhat.
I would go down the ETL route, but the idea is for non-techies to define their own aggregations using rules.

How can i create a new object in consequence part
by Navdeep Kumar
Hi..
After execution of each rule, i want to create a new object of a particular
class and want to add that to the list. i know how to set the global list
but i am not sure whether i can create a new instance in the consequence of
the rule.
here is the rule file and description that what i am trying to do.
import java.util.Map;
global java.util.HashMap availablity;
global java.util.HashMap frontAxleAttributes;
global java.util.HashMap frontSuspensionAttributes;
global java.util.ArrayList resultState;
rule "FrontAxle:Capacity|FrontSuspension:Capacity"
dialect "mvel"
when
b:Feature(featureClass.name=="FrontSuspension")
c:Feature(featureClass.name=="FrontAxle")
eval(b.attributes.Capacity>=c.attributes.Capacity)
then
System.out.println(b.attributes.Capacity);
frontAxleAttributes.put("Capacity" ,new Double(c.attributes.Capacity));
frontSuspensionAttributes.put("Capacity", new
Double(b.attributes.Capacity));
frontAxleAttributes.put("Feature Code",b.getCode());
frontSuspensionAttributes.put("Feature Code",c.getCode());
availablity.put(b.featureClass.getName+"-"+c.getFeatureClass().getName(),new
Double(b.attributes.Capacity));
* **// i want to create a new Object of a class named AvailabilityRuleState
and want to add that in the list named resultState. *
* *
end
*//resultState is a list of AvailabilityRuleState Class. Please do check the
global declaration if that is wrong.*
will appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Test Scenario for a Ruleflow in Guvnor
by Keith Lynch
Hi Folks
I've been playing with Guvnor and have been defining Test Scenarios. Mostly
the scenarios meet our requirements for simple rule packages. However we use
small flows which only use rule tasks.
I've seen that the ruleflow-group support works however I'm wondering if a
test scenario can be run against a process/flow?
Cheers
