Strange intermittent problem with Drools Flow
by Dan Nathanson
Hi,
I'm seeing some odd behavior in some of my test cases. And it only
seems to happen to one guy. And he's done fresh checkouts of the code,
blown away his local M2 repository and verified installed software
like OS and Java is same as everyone else's.
I have some test cases that build up some simple flows programatically
using fluent API. Very simple (start --> work item --> work item -->
state --> end). I am using Drools Flow 5.1.1 with JPA (in-memory H2
DB for unit tests). Intermittently, after completing a work item, the
flow doesn't continue. Logging in a process event listener shows that
the the work item node is never left, although I can see in the logs
that the work item is deleted from DB.
There are no errors, warning or info level messages coming out of
Drools or Hibernate prior to the failure.
It only happens to one guy, but he can reproduce the problem
regularly, although it moves around in different test cases and
different points in the flows.
Anyone ever seen this behavior before? Any possible explanations?
I'd attach the log file, but it is huge since I've got hibernate
logging set very verbose.
Regards,
Dan Nathanson

execute particular rules programmatically and dynamically
by Benson Fung
Hi,
If there are 10 rules in the drools rulebase, and right now I would
like to execute one of the particular rule. Is there any approach/way
to execute particular rule programmatically? I don't think
agenda-group or activation-group can do that, right? Or is it
possible to create an agenda programmatically ?
Thanks

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!

spring-drools api exception: Invalid property 'knowledgeAgent'
by mmjose26
Hi,
Im runnung test cases in Spring Drools 5.2M1
and I have this exception:
Exception in thread "main"
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name 'ksession2': Error setting property values; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property
'knowledgeAgent' of bean class
[org.drools.container.spring.beans.StatefulKnowledgeSessionBeanFactory]:
Bean property 'knowledgeAgent' is not writable or has an invalid setter
method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the
getter?
it happens with testAgents method
If you change the source code located in the drools-spring component in
class
org.drools.container.spring.namespace.KnowledgeSessionDefinitionParser.java:
// find any kagent's for the current kbase and assign
for ( String beanName :
parserContext.getRegistry().getBeanDefinitionNames() ) {
BeanDefinition def =
parserContext.getRegistry().getBeanDefinition( beanName );
if ( KnowledgeAgentBeanFactory.class.getName().equals(
def.getBeanClassName() ) ) {
PropertyValue pvalue =
def.getPropertyValues().getPropertyValue( "kbase" );
RuntimeBeanReference tbf = (RuntimeBeanReference)
pvalue.getValue();
if ( kbase.equals( tbf.getBeanName() ) ) {
factory.addPropertyValue( "knowledgeAgent",
new RuntimeBeanReference(
beanName ) );
}
}
}
modifying: if ( kbase.equals( tbf.getBeanName() ) && "stateless".equals(
sessionType ) )
it works, becasue only stateless sessions have knowledgeAgent property.
is It Correct?

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?

KnowledgeAgent Issue
by Steven Williams
Hi all,
I am trying to use a Knowledge Agent in 5.1.1 with a change set with a few
different packages and resource types in it, and I am running into a problem
where it is not adding all the packages. Looking at the code I can see that
KnowledegeAgentImpl.createPackageFromResource has the following code when it
loads a resource:
if (kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages().iterator().hasNext()) {
return (KnowledgePackageImp)
kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages().iterator().next();
}
and KnowledgeBuilderImpl.getKnowledgePackages does the following:
Package[] pkgs = pkgBuilder.getPackages();
List<KnowledgePackage> list = new ArrayList<KnowledgePackage>( pkgs.length
);
and PackageBuilder.getPackages does the following:
for ( PackageRegistry pkgRegistry : this.pkgRegistryMap.values() ) {
Package pkg = pkgRegistry.getPackage();
// add package to array
}
pkgRegistryMap is implemented as a HashMap however so the order the packages
are returned in is not guaranteed. I seem to be hitting this problem.
This is a hard one to create a unit test for so I wanted to check that my
analysis is correct before raising a bug. Perhaps using a LinkedHashMap or
similar would fix it?
thanks

Speed up inserting of rules into knowledge base
by Piotr Jedrychowski
Hello.
I'm loading a big amount of rules during starting of JBoss (20000
rules). All rules (in string format) are available before JBoss startup
- they are stored into database. Rules are loaded one by one and it
takes about 90 minutes. I want to speed up this process. Is there
something like "bulk load" for inserting rules into knowledge base or
another smart way to fast loading a big amount of rules?
I'm using:
1) Drools 5.1
2) JBoss 4.2.3
My source code looks like this:
String rule = ...
Resource resource = ResourceFactory.newReaderResource(new
StringReader(rule));
KnowledgeBuilder knowledgeBuilder =
KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
knowledgeBuilder.add(resource, ResourceType.DRL);
knowledgeBase.addKnowledgePackages(knowledgeBuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
Regards,
Piotr

New in Drools, java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.reteoo.AccumulateNode.getFirstMatch(AccumulateNode.java:967)
by Manuel Ortiz
Hello all!
I am new in Drools but day by day, test by test, I think I get a bit more
knowledge of how the rule engine works from user point of view. I've been
adding rules to an alarm system, increasing the complexity and functionality
in several steps. Unfortunately in the last step I found the following
NullPointerException inside the rule engine...

I've been trying to find the problem, and found a strange interaction
between three rules that makes the null pointer to appear. The alarm system
has many rules now and it is difficult to simplify the scenario, so I just
would like to know what is the funcion of AccumulateNode object in order to
have an idea of the NullPointerException possible cause.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Manuel Ortiz.
