To accumulate or not to accumulate
by Bruno Freudensprung
Hello,
I am trying to implement rules handling "Sentence", "ManualAnnotation"
objects (imagine someone highligthing words of the document). Basically
"Sentence" objects have "start" and "end" positions (fields) into the
text of a document, and they are Comparable according to their location
into the document.
I need to write rules using the notion "window of consecutive sentences".
Basically I am not very interested by those "SentenceWindow" objects, I
just need them to define a kind of proximity between "ManualAnnotation"
objects.
What I eventually need in the "when" of my rule is something like:
when
... maybe something creating the windows
a1 : ManualAnnotation ()
a2 : ManualAnnotation (this != a1)
SentenceWindow (this includes a1, this includes a2)
then
... do something with a1 and a2 since they are "close" to each other
end
As I don't know the "internals" of Drools, I would like to have your
opinion about what the best "idiom":
* create all SentenceWindow objects and insert them in the working
memory, then write rules against all the facts (SentenceWindow and
ManualAnnotation)
* implement an accumulator that will create a list of
SentenceWindow object
The first option could look like:
|||rule "Create sentence windows"
when
# find 3 consecutive sentences
s1 : Sentence()
s2 : Sentence(this > s1)
s3 : Sentence(this > s2)
not Sentence(this != s2 && > s1 && < s3)
then
SentenceWindow swindow = new SentenceWindow();
swindow.setStart(s1.getStart());
swindow.setTheend(s3.getEnd());
insert(swindow);
end|
... Then use the first rule "as is".
The accumulator option could look like (I am not really sure the syntax
is correct) :
when
*$result : ArrayList() from accumulate ( $s: Sentence(), buildwindows($s))*
a1 : ManualAnnotation ()
a2 : ManualAnnotation (this != a1)
*SentenceWindows (this includes a1, this includes a2) **from $result*
then
... do something with a1 and a2 since they are "close" to each other
end
Is it possible to decide if one way is best than the other?
And one last question: it is possible to "parametrize" an accumulator
(in order to provide the number of sentences that should be put in the
windows)?
I mean something like:
when
$result : ArrayList() from accumulate ( $s: Sentence(),
*buildwindows(3,* $s))
Thanks in advance for you insights,
Best regards,
Bruno.

Iterative diagnosis - how to determine what is the next best fact?
by Kal
Hi,
I am new to Drools. I read the documentation and I looked at the examples,
but I still not sure how to solve this problem:
1) Kind: iterative diagnosis
Rules:
if (A, B and C) then print ("Solution 1")
if (A, B and not C) then print ("Solution 2")
if (A, D and E) then print ("Solution 3")
and so on...
The entry should be something like this:
* no facts are know
* user answers a question (lets say A = true), I update the Statefull
session and fire the rules
* system chooses a unknow fact based on condition for the best incomplete
rule. In this case, it would be B (as it knows A, but it doesn't know B or
C)
* user answers a new question (B = false), I update the session + fireRules
* system now knows that rule 1 (A, B and C) is not possible. It also knows
that rule 2 (A, B and not C) is not possible. So, it chooses the second
condition on rule 3 (A, D and E), which is: what is D?
* user answers a new question (D = true)
....
* user answers a new question (E= true)
* system prints: Solution 3!
My big question: can I extract from the working memory or rule manager or
the agenda a list of the rules that are 'almost' good to fire, but that
still requires some of its conditions to be know (by inserting facts)?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to create rule in Guvnor and runnig it in Java Application on
Eclipse.
I have gone through the mortgages example provided in the distribution. I
am not sure that I am doing it correctly The steps I did are as follows :
1) Uploaded a POJO jar in Guvnor
2) Created a rule for checking the value of POJO data member
3) Built the package
4) Downloaded the ChangeSet.xml provided
5) Imported that ChangeSet.xml in Eclipse project under com.test package.
6) Created KnowledgeBase and fired the rules
My POJO :
package com.test;
public class CardHolder {
private int accno;
private double discount;
public int getAccno() {
return accno;
}
public void setAccno(int accno) {
this.accno = accno;
}
public double getDiscount() {
return discount;
}
public void setDiscount(double discount) {
this.discount = discount;
}
}
My Rule Running Class :
package com.test;
import org.drools.KnowledgeBase;
import org.drools.agent.KnowledgeAgent;
import org.drools.agent.KnowledgeAgentFactory;
import org.drools.io.Resource;
import org.drools.io.ResourceFactory;
import org.drools.runtime.StatefulKnowledgeSession;
public class Discount_Provider {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CardHolder c1 = new CardHolder();
c1.setAccno(1005);
try{
KnowledgeBase kbase = readKnowledgeBase();
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession =
kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
ksession.insert(c1);
ksession.fireAllRules();
System.out.println("The discount applied is : "+
c1.getDiscount());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("Exception is :
"+ex);
}
}
private static KnowledgeBase readKnowledgeBase()
{
KnowledgeAgent kagent =
KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent
("DiscAgent");
Resource changeset = ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource
("com/test/ChangeSet.xml");
kagent.applyChangeSet(changeset);
KnowledgeBase kbase = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();
kagent.dispose();
return kbase;
}
}
My Rule Content :
1.|rule "Discount_CardHolder"
2.| dialect "mvel"
3.| when
4.| $c : CardHolder( accno > 1001 )
5.| then
6.| $c.setDiscount( 10 );
7.| update( $c );
8.|end
Link from where I download the ChangeSet from Guvnor :

The discount applied is : 0.0
I am not able to get what should be done to make it run properly. Earlier
also I had tried to do this but faced many issues. By referring the
Mortgages example I tried to create the calling class. It would be very
helpful if some body could help me on this.

Checking for a lack of an object
by Chris Richmond
How do I fire a rule if an object with certain characterstics does not
exists.
For example my class Foo, if I have a rule:
rule "Identify Foos with values"
when
Foo(stringProp=="blah", intProp==5)
then
System.err.println("A Foo was found!");
end
So how do I check for lack of existence of an object with certain
characteristics
I tried:
rule "Flag missing Foos with values"
when
not(Foo(stringProp=="blah", intProp==5))
then
System.err.println("A proper foo does not exist");
end
I also tried:
rule "Flag missing Foos with values"
when
not(exists(Foo(stringProp=="blah", intProp==5)))
then
System.err.println("A proper foo does not exist");
end

Rule(s) based on different (fact) dates (date-effective/date-expired?)
by dhartford
Hey all,
I see a couple of posts in the mailing list/forum around the date-effective
and date-expired.
Forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning as I go, but I have this example
and I'm wondering if that is where I should look, or if that is the wrong
path:
Given the mortgage example, lets say you have LoanApplications come in with
an 'Application Date'.
There may be one rule that has 3 different versions (all versions 'active')
depending on the date of the application, and the application may come in
later, and/or a rule may be a retroactive rule (I just made a new rule, but
it came into effect two days ago (say during a weekend and is only for those
two days), so any ApplicationDate based loan applications that show up on
Monday with dates from the past two days should use that retroactive rule
instead of, potentially, a new 'current' rule).
This is not the same as history (what *was* the rule(s) as of prior Friday),
which is also important, which is why I'm asking if someone has tackled this
area that will help someone new understand the best approach for date-based
rules while understanding/retaining history.
thanks!
-Darren

Do really support the containsKey() function on maps?
by dvsnmurty
Hello all,
I am having trouble with the following drools file:
===========================================================
rule "vam"
when
$pfMapType : MapType( name == "vam" )
$inputKey : InputKey( email == true )
$ldapResponseMap : Map()
then
$pfMapType.setQueryFilterCheck(true);
end
rule "transport"
when
$pfMapType : MapType( name == "transport" )
$inputKey : InputKey( email == true )
$ldapResponseMap : Map()
eval(
($ldapResponseMap.get("zimbraMailDeliveryAddress").equals($inputKey)) ||
(($ldapResponseMap.containsKey("zimbraDomainName") == true)
&& ($ldapResponseMap.get("zimbraDomainName").equals($inputKey))) )
then
$pfMapType.setQueryFilterCheck(true);
end
===========================================================
In the above, the rule "vam" works fine. But the rule "transport" never
works. Could it be because of the use of containsKey() function?
Alternatively, I tries replacing the rule "transport" with the following
with no luck still:
===========================================================
rule "transport"
when
$pfMapType : MapType( name == "transport" )
$inputKey : InputKey( email == true )
$ldapResponseMap : Map()
eval(
($ldapResponseMap.get("zimbraMailDeliveryAddress").equals($inputKey)) ||
(($ldapResponseMap.keySet().contains("zimbraDomainName")) &&
($ldapResponseMap.get("zimbraDomainName").equals($inputKey))) )
then
$pfMapType.setQueryFilterCheck(true);
end
===========================================================
Appreciate your kind attention on this.
Regards,
Murty.

String.format question in the RHS
by Dean Whisnant
Hello,
Can anyone see an issue with the following RHS? The String.format is failing. I've copied it straight into java to verify my intentions and it works there.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to concatenate the string UH005 with a sequence number that is a fixed 10 digits, zero filled. So if CurrentClaimSeq_48 is the number 123, then I expect that TRN02_Check... would be populated with UH0050000000123.
Again, this is working fine in straight java, but not in a rule. What am I missing? Is there a better way to try to accomplish this in a rule?
rule "L1000_TRN02_UHC_BPA"
dialect "mvel"
when
CLM_835_SUPP( seq : currentClaimSeq_48 != ( null ) )
CLM_DET_LOAD( )
trn : x221TransactionHeader_TRN_ReassociationTraceNumber( )
then
trn.setTRN02_CheckOrEftTraceNumber( "UH005" + String.format ("%010d", seq) );
end
Here are the data types of the two fields involved.
private Integer CurrentClaimSeq_48;
public String TRN02_CheckOrEftTraceNumber;
Thank you!

Guvnor 5.2 and Designer 1.0.0.054 "connection refused"

Hey all,
I'm trying to get the BPMN flow designer installed beside Guvnor on a jboss

It opens the editor fine, and things look ok until I try to save, at which

to change the designer.war/profiles/jbpm.xml file, which I did, but still
getting 'connection refused'.

Planner: Packing items together
by JimK
Working from the cloud computing example I am modifying it as a learning
exercise that might have real world use for a client. The client makes items
that vary in size and weight. I have built rules to handle the weight and
size constraints to optimize loading of a box. Planner does a great job of
optimizing loading of the boxes with those rules. The one sticking point is
a sales order line must be packed in the same box or series of boxes. Can’t
quite get my head around how to craft rule(s) to enforce it.
1. Each order line is a job.
2. Each job is run complete from start to finish.
3. Jobs can be manufactured in any sequence.
4. Weight varies from order line to order line
5. Thickness varies from order line to order line.
6. Items on same order line are identical in thickness and weight.
7. Items are loaded into box as they come off line.
8. Items from different sales order lines can be packed in the same box.
Rules:
1. Total thickness of items in box must not exceed depth of box.
2. Total weight of items in box must not exceed weight capacity of box.
3. All items on the same order line must be packed in same box or sequential
boxes.
Thickness and weight are not always connected in the same direction. A
thicker item can be heavier or lighter than a thinner item.
Goal: Optimize the sequence that sales order lines come off the
manufacturing line to minimize the number of boxes needed without exceeding
depth or weight limitations of box.
Example:
• Order line X for Quantity 100
All in one box, OK
Box 1 100
Box 2 0
Started in Box 1, rest in box 2, OK
Box 1 25
Box 2 75
Box 3 0
Spread over multiple sequential boxes, OK
Box 1 25 (could have other sales order lines)
Box 2 50 (box can only contain Line X)
Box 3 25 (could have other sales order lines)
Some in one box, rest in a non-adjacent box, Not Allowed.
Box 1: 25
Box 2: 0 (box has items from other order lines)
Box 3: 75
This looks to be similar to the lecture compactness goal in the examination
problem. I can almost see what needs to be done but can’t quite articulate
it into rule(s) to ensure an order line has been packed sequentially in a
contiguous series of boxes.
Thanks much for any assistance
