Invocation Patterns
by Kenneth May
You are correct, Drools Flow may not be the best choice of technology.
I could certainly write what is required in core Java very easily!
However, there are a few reasons why this was my intended approach:
1) A large degree of flexibility may be required in the future. I
like the concept of being able to change or apply new logic fairly
easily.
2) Out of the box business activity monitorring is appealing
3) I'm keen to explore BPM and rules technology in more depth
4) The discussion in this (admittedly old) article suggested jBPM may
be a good fit: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossRulesjBPMSQLorJava.
My understanding is that Drools Flow is an alternative to jBPM and
from what I can tell has a far better integration with rules.
That said: I'm not adverse to alternative approaches if what I'm
planning doesn't sound like a good fit. What I need to do is
essentially pretty simple: take a file and process it through several
steps (with some logic deciding which steps are relevant).
Thanks for your help!

Help : Enabling Role Base Authorization in Guvnor
by Han Ming Low
Hi all,
I try to enable the Role Base Authorization in Guvnor after it was running
fine with the default login mechanism.
But, encountered some problem with the attempt.
What I did was that in the components.xml,
- commented out the default <security:identity
authenticate-method="#{defaultAuthenticator.authenticate}"/>
- uncomment the <security:identity
authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}"
jaas-config-name="other"/>
- change the role base authorization to true,
<security:role-based-permission-resolver
enable-role-based-authorization="true"/>
And at the login-config.xml
I have changed the "other" application policy to
<application-policy name = "other">
<authentication>
<login-module code =
"org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule"
flag = "required" >
<module-option
name="usersProperties">props/guvnor-users.properties</module-option>
<module-option
name="rolesProperties">props/guvnor-roles.properties</module-option>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</application-policy>
guvnor-users.properties
admin=admin12
krisv=krisv
john=john
mary=mary
guvnor-roles.properties
admin=admin
krisv=admin,manager,user
john=admin,manager,user
mary=admin,manager,user
After restarting JBoss, I can login based on the user and password defined
in the guvnor-users.properties.
And, by changing the password in the properties, I verified that it is
taking in the value from the file itself.
However, when I login as user admin and tried to access the Administration |
User Permission or Event Log,
I'm prompt "Sorry, insufficient permissions to perform this action."
The error from the console is
11:15:36,046 INFO [STDOUT] ERROR 29-07 11:15:36,046
(LoggingHelper.java:error:76)
Service method 'public abstract java.util.Map
org.drools.guvnor.client.rpc.RepositoryService.listUserPermissions()
throws org.drools.guvnor.client.rpc.DetailedSerializationException'
threw an unexpected exception:
org.jboss.seam.security.AuthorizationException:

Checking on the org.drools.guvnor.server.security.RoleTypes code, the
available role should be
admin
analyst
analyst.readonly
package.admin
package.developer
package.readonly
Can anyone help to let me know what's wrong with my configuration?
Thanks.

Guvnor BRL format
by Sreenath Putta
Hi,
I have couples of questions regarding Guvnor BRL format:
We have a requirement to store the rules in XML format, for that we are
planning to use Guvnor Brl format.Right now Guvnor BRL format does not
support for defining Event correlation part (Temporal reasoning part). we
would end up something like putting these event correlation part in a
freeform.
First thing is will there be any support for event correlation in Guvnor in
near future?
If not we are willing to contribute for that effort. we just wanted to find
out what exactly is the process for going forward and defining these
elements?
Thanks,
Sreenath

Failed to read schema document when trying to transform from XML to DRL
by Chang Liu
Hi there,
Error message:
(null: 5, 77): schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'drools.org/drools-5.0.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.
I ran into this issue when experimenting a project that transforming the rules back and forth from DRL to XML with utility classes as documented in following link:
http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-expert/ht...
My code:
...
XmlPackageReader xmlReader = new XmlPackageReader(null);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(rulesInXml);
try {
PackageDescr packageDescr = xmlReader.read(sr);
DrlDumper drlDumper = new DrlDumper();
String drlString = drlDumper.dump(packageDescr);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
...
where string "rulesInXml" is the result xml string transformed from a valid .drl file. It looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<package name="com.sample"
xmlns="http://drools.org/drools-5.0"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xs:schemaLocation="http://drools.org/drools-5.0 drools.org/drools-5.0.xsd">
<import name="com.sample.DroolsTest.Message" />
<rule name="Hello World">
<lhs><pattern identifier="m" object-type="Message" >
<field-constraint field-name="status">
<qualified-identifier-restriction evaluator="==">Message.HELLO </qualified-identifier-restriction>
</field-constraint>
<field-binding field-name="message" identifier="myMessage" />
</pattern>
</lhs>
<rhs> System.out.println( myMessage );
m.setMessage( "Goodbye cruel world" );
m.setStatus( Message.GOODBYE );
update( m );
</rhs>
</rule>
<rule name="GoodBye">
<lhs><pattern object-type="Message" >
<field-constraint field-name="status">
<qualified-identifier-restriction evaluator="==">Message.GOODBYE </qualified-identifier-restriction>
</field-constraint>
<field-binding field-name="message" identifier="myMessage" />
</pattern>
</lhs>
<rhs> System.out.println( myMessage );
</rhs>
</rule>
</package>
What did I miss here?
Moreover, the Drools 5.0 API's for XML support are poorly-documented. For example, the constructors of class "XmlPackageReader" has an arg of "SemanticModules" type which is not documented. :(
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chang

Drool Guvnor-Accessing Rules which are expired to do back dated calculations
by Minal Sarmokadam
Hi,
I am evaluating Drool Gunvor for to implement Rules for some finance related functionality.
I need help from users to implement following scenario is Drools-Guvnor
I have created simple Rule to Calculate House Rent Allowance i.e. HRA as
HRA = 0.12 * Basic salary .(Basic will come as Input Parameter).
This rule is valid from e.g. 01-Jan-2005 to 31-July-2010 as HRA rule is changed from 1st Aug 2010
I will have to create new Rule for HRA Rule with new formula as
HRA = 0.15 * Basic salary .(Basic will come as Input Parameter).
This rule is valid from 01-Aug-2010 to 01-Aug-2999
>From 1st Aug HRA should be calculated using New Rule. But at the same time if any Arrears to be calculated(back dated calculation) depending on the date old HRA rule should be applicable.I would need this to calculate Arrears i.e. doing backdated calculations
Can I achieve this in Gunor Drool. I could achieve first half by specifying date-expires . But I am not able to achieve second half i.e. referring old rule depending on the date. I would appreciate help to solve this problem .
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Minal S

How to write a simple DSL which can be used in setting / comparing the value prsent in hashmap
by bbarani
Hi,
I have created a very simple DSL file as below. It just reads the data from
hashmap and sets the decision based on the key value present in the hashmap
passed to Guvnor.
[consequence][]Decision for DynamicValue is set as
Denied=dec.setDecision("Denied");
[condition][]Decision Object=dec:Decisions()
[condition][]Map Object=mp:DynMap()
[condition][]Evaluate Dynamic value of
rules=eval(mp.getMap().get("AssetID").toString().trim()=="8-AIT-3243")
I now want to create a rule such that I am able to enter both LHS and RHS
dynamically and the rule will fetch the data based on the key value..
something like below
When dynamicAttribute("Assetid")="23" then System.out.println(Sucess); else
dynamicAttribute("repoid")="23" then System.out.println(Sucess);
end
My DSL works fine now just tht I want to make it more user frindly and want
the dynamic attribute to be listed in the dropdown for users to select it ..
Thanks,
BB

---------
There is a list of objects.
Each object has a property "score".
We need to select three objects with the highest scores.
How to create this rule in Guvnor (This would be easy in Java, but we want no code in the rules)?
Thank you!!!
