Problem with Guvnor 5.1.1, <save> frequently does not save...
by David Shields
I have spent several days writing rules and tests for them in Guvnor, and
kept having strange results. A test would sometimes fail, repeatedly, and
then finally start working after I would delete and recreate some portion
of it, or change a value.
After two of us spent many hours trying to identify the extent of the
problem, we concluded the following:
1. The problem happens under both IE and Firefox.
2. The problem happens less frequently under Firefox if we install and
turn on a third-party plug-in which disables Firefox caching web pages.
3. Saving a new rule or test will allow us to work with it (edit - save -
test scenarios). However, frequently the rule or test will just disappear
once we log out.
4. A "Save" and "Check-in" will often work correctly if we cross our
fingers and do the following:
a. Save it once (the screen updates, and you can check the
version history)
b. Refresh the browser
c. Make the change again
d. Save it a second time
5. After doing a "Save" and "Check-in", you can immediately do a "view
source" and see your changes in place. However, if you then close the
test (or rule) and re-open it, you will often find that the change is
gone, and the test or rule looks like it did before you made the change.
A sample screenshot appears below. In this case, I created the test with
the "performedTime" set to 20-Sep-2008. I ran the test and it failed,
because the rule was checking for greater than or equal to 21-Sep-2008. I
then changed the date on the test to 21-Sep-2008, did a "save changes" and
a "Check-in", and then ran the scenario again.
As you can see below, the asserted object contains the date 20-Sep-2008,
even though the test clearly shows 21-Sep-2008.
Does anybody have any ideas on this? If I copy the above test into a new
test, it will often work the first time, but then it may disappear, once I
logout, even though it was saved and checked-in.
It almost seems like there is something wrong with the imbedded
repository, and / or the first running of the test created fact objects
that are persisting and being found the second time I ran the changed
test. ...
We are running the Final release of Drools Guvnor 5.1.1 found in
drools-5.1.1-guvnor.zip downloaded on 4-Sep-2010
We are running under Tomcat 6.0, with the recommended jar files replaced.
Thanks for your help!

documentation but not able to get much information or might be i am missing

unable to determine operator for symbol [before]
by vladimiro
Hi all,
I'm building a KnowledgeBase with KnowledgeAgent and a precompiled
rule package. When the package contains a rule using temporal operators
such "after" or "before" I get the exception listed at the end of this
message.
I'm using the latest version of drools 5 and my runtime configuration
includes the following libraries:
* drools-core - the rule engine itself.
* drools-api
* mvel2-2.0.10
* joda-time-1.6
the rule causing such a behaviour is:
rule 'Test2'
dialect 'mvel'
when
u1:UserType( firstName=="UserA" )
lie:UserEventType( event=="Login", user.id==u1.id)
loe:UserEventType(event=="Logout", user.id==u1.id, this before lie)
then
Message msg = new Message();msg.setText("Test2
fired");driver.getMessages().add(msg);
end

Drools 5.1 - exception when trying to use incremental KB updates.

The rule in question is quite straight-forward, works on the initial
load up and worked in 5.0.1 fine. It is not the rule that was just
changed. If I remove that rule, another is just substituted in its
place in the error message.
What might be causing this? If you need more information, please ask.

Expert versus Expert
by Charles SOUILLARD
Hi all,
i'm a newbie on Drools and want to understand the general architecture of
the solution.
Is it true that Drools Guvnor helps managing rules definition but it is not
a rule server ? Meaning we can define, update, archive, test... rules but
not execute them in Guvnor?
My understanding is that Drools expert is the engine, let's say the rules
server) on which one rules are executed. Is there any graphical tool to
manage this engine? I mean to add/remove rules, access a dashboard... Is it
drools-server.war?
Is there any pre installed runtime environment with the engine and - if
there is one - the management console?
I tried drools-install.zip with ant install.demo but it doesn't work for
me...
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm waiting to test it!

KnowledgeAgent and Guvnor restart
by Gerret Hansper
Hello,
I have got an issue with the KnowledgeAgent that seems not to survive a Guvnor
restart. The scenario is as follows:
* We use Drools 5.0
* On our application server we create a KnowledgeAgent
applying a ChangeSet that points to a package binary on a separate Guvnor server
like so:
SystemEventListenerFactory.setSystemEventListener(new
SystemEventLogger());
ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start();
ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start();
KnowledgeAgent agent =
KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent(workflowName);
agent.applyChangeSet(changeSet);
* Creating the kbase, registering globals and running sessions works fine.
* We shut down Guvnor (or the connection goes down, this was how we spotted the
problem) and restart it after a minute
* We then try to run sessions from the
same agent as above via
kagent.getKnowledgeBase().newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
which returns a ksession, but then setting a global we get
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected global [log]
at
org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.setGlobal(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:5
50)
at
org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.setGlobal(StatefulKnowledgeSessio
nImpl.java:284)
>From the debugger I can see that indeed the ruleBase's globals map is empty. The
SystemEventLogger indicates that the KnowledgeAgent unsubscribes from its
resource when Guvnor is down and rebuilds its kbase. Also, it stops scanning the
resource and does not find it once Guvnor is up again. (See log snippet below).
Wouldn't it be better in these cases to keep the resource as is in memory and
try to rescan? I figure that as long as the resource is specified in the
changeSet it should be considered part of the kbase and not be removed if it
cannot be found.
For the time being, does anyone have a suggestion how to avoid these problems?
We could catch the RuntimeException and recreate the KnowledgeAgent, but perhaps
there is a better way?
Thanks, Gerret

Can Drools Flow Persistence Work without JTA
by Rui Tang
Hi list,
According to the documents and some test cases, I found that Drools Flow
persistence examples have to work with JTA to enable transaction management.
Is there some way to not use JTA as my transaction manager?

StatefulKnowledgeSession Vs StatefulSession
by DeepakA
I used a KnowledgeBuilder ro read the resources (DSL & DSLR files)
Then created a KnowledgeBase and created a StatefulKnowledgeSession out of
the KnowledgeBase.
The StatefulKnowledgeSession was used to start the process and fire all
rules.
Then I realized I was not able to access the RuleBase from
StatefulKnowledgeSession.
So, now I create a RuleBase, then a PackageBuilder, add the resources to the
packageBuilder, then add the
package to the RuleBase and create a StatefulSession out of the RuleBase.
This statefulsession is used to start the process and fire all rules.
Can someone explain to me whats the difference in the above 2 methods of
firing the rules.
Whats the difference between StatefulKnowledgeSession & StatefulSession.
