Difference between Rule Base and Knowledge Base
by Swapnil Sawant
Hi,
I had a very basic doubt. 'Rule Base' and 'Knowledge Base' are two different concepts (may be from implementation point of view )?
I got this doubt when I was going through section '1.4.7.2. Drools execution server' of drools guvnor (v5.0) where it was written like :
The drools execution server (drools-server) module is a war which you can deploy to execute "knowledgebases (rulebases)" remotely for any sort of client application
The thing is that , I have created Knowledge base from changeset.xml as follows :
kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent( "MyRuleAgent" );
kagent.applyChangeSet( ResourceFactory.newUrlResource( changesetUrl ) );
kbase = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();
Now if I wish to get Rule Base corresponding to my changeset(or rather my DRL file) using 'this kbase object' , how can I do that ?
Thanks,
Swapnil Sawant

proxy config for change-set schema fetch?
by Allen, Robert R
Hi All:
I'm running drools expert and guvnor on a single machine that runs
behind an authentication-required HTTP proxy to the outside world. I'm
fetching rulesets from the guvnor URL using the KnowledgeAgent. The
loading of each URL takes a consistent 3 minutes and it appears that the
delay may be from trying to fetch the xml schema which does not succeed
because the request must go to jboss thru a proxy. I get these two
messages in the log file:
(null: 1, 290): schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document
'http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/trunk/drools-api/sr
c/main/resources/change-set-1.0.0.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>.
(null: 1, 290): cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element
'change-set'.
After the delay, the parsing works correctly and the KnowledgeAgent
creates the KnowledgeBase correctly. Here is an example of the change
set being passed to the KnowledgeAgent:
<change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set'
xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/trunk/drools-api/src
/main/resources/change-set-1.0.0.xsd' > <add> <resource
source='http://localhost:8080/arcotadmin/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/packag
e/pkg1/LATEST.drl' type='DRL' basicAuthentication='enabled'
username='usr1' password='123456' /> </add> </change-set>
Questions:
1. Can I tell KnowledgeAgent to use a local file for the schema
and thereby bypass the external lookup altogether? What would the syntax
for that look like?
2. Is there a way to provide proxy information to KnowledgeAgent
or drools expert as a whole that includes authentication credentials?
Thanks,
-Robert

drools flow - how to crate a human task form?
by gs76pl
hi,
What is the best way of creating some UI for human tasks with an input form?
I've a sample process with a human task that should update some values in
the process. I had a look into API of a task and the only thing i can find
there is 'content' which i'm not really sure about (is it the place where
for instance HTML UI should be created?) Is there any way to create this
form with some additional actions like : claim/fail etc?

ProcessEventListener event order
by Carlos Villegas
Hi,
I'm testing the ProcessEventListener on a simple process and I get the
"after" events in reverse order.
For example,
Process completed : 1283915643204
Node left: 5: 1283915643268
Node triggered: 5: 1283915643268
Node left: 4: 1283915643268
Node triggered: 4: 1283915643269
Node left: 3: 1283915643269
Node triggered: 3: 1283915643270
Node left: 2: 1283915643270
Node triggered: 2: 1283915643270
Node left: 1: 1283915643270
Node triggered: 1: 1283915643271
Node left: 0: 1283915643271
Node triggered: 0: 1283915643271
Process started : 1283915643271
I'm just printing the node id and the time in milliseconds.
Is this the way is supposed to be?
I guess technically "after" could be anytime after, but if I use the
afterProcessStarted event, I get it after the whole process has
completed!, which it's not useful at all.
The "before" events work as expected I think.
I'm using Drools Flow 5.1.0.
Thanks,
Carlos

CPU Spike creating a StatefulKnowledgeSession using OSGi
by David Conde
Good Morning,
I now have drools running on the Spring DM-Server but I am seeing a CPU
spike when creating a StatefulKnowledgeSession. I've tested this outside of
an OSGi environment and I don't see the spike. Does anyone know any settings
that I can change that might make this go away?
Thanks,
Dave

Questions regarding Guvnor
by Harshit Bapna
Hello All,
Few questions:
1. What is the release date of Guvnor 5.2 ? (Couldn't find it from the site
of the documentation)
I am interested in the functionality to add the guvnor editors in
another app for rule editing. i.e. StandaloneEditorServlet
2. Which SVN TAG of the Guvnor (which has standalone editor functionality)
should I use ?
Note: On trunk I have observed that the war contains a folder *guvnor* where
as guvnor 5.1 war contained folder *org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor*
Also the web.xml in the trunk has the following url pattern <url-pattern>/*
org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor*/feed/*</url-pattern>
This url pattern would never be matched as the Guvnor.html is under
guvnor/Guvnor.html. To make it work I had to update the url patterns in the
web.xml
Is there anything that I am doing wrong ? (mvn clean install
-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true)
IMO, the trunk has partial changes checked in. Hence it is not stable.
Thanks

KnowledgeAgent and applyChangeSet
by bob.breitling
If I have a KnowledgeAgent and I create a URL Resource and set its
basicAuthenication, username and password attributes then I call the agents
applyChangeSet method I get a HTTPD 401 response from the Guvnor. It does
not happen to my resourse which has a valid username and password, but it
happens to the resource in the changeSet xml tag.
It would seem to me that the resources that are built from the resource I
passed would inherit the basicAuthenication, username and password
attributes that I set and know work, but they don't and I get this error.
If I debug the code and filling in those values on the resource passed to
the createPackageFromResource method before the resource stream is read the
code works.
I am using the NilAuthenicator in the Guvnor components.xml and that seems
to be working. I get access to the Guvnor without being asked for
credentials.
I tried to configure my jboss (4.2.0) in login-config.xml to allow access to
everything as guest. But no luck.
Any suggestions?
Bob

Flow isn't behaving as I'd expect
by Jamie
I'm having some issues with the interaction between Flow, ruleflow-groups and
AgendaFilters. I've tried it with 5.1.1, 5.2.0 using .rf files and 5.2.0
using .bpmn files, all with the same results, so I'm sure I'm just
misunderstanding something.
I have a flow that looks like this:
http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/file/n3200994/fraud_analysis_flow.jpg
Rules 011 and 051 are in ruleflow-group customerAnalysis and rule 018 is in
ruleflow-group customerActivityFilterAndLookup. I added some debugging via
event listeners and if I don't use an agenda filter, I see the following
output:
Executing test Rule018TestCase001
Rules engine initialized
Invoking rules for rule name Rule 018 - Good AVS Buyer
Created activation for [Rule 018 - Good AVS Buyer]
Created activation for [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address]
Created activation for [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email]
Triggered node [Order Analysis]
Triggered node [Start Fraud Analysis Flow]
Triggered node [Customer Analysis]
About to fire [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email]
====> Rule 051 fired for order: 000000022
About to fire [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address]
====> Rule 011 fired for order: 000000022
Triggered node [Customer Activity Filter And Lookup]
About to fire [Rule 018 - Good AVS Buyer]
Created activation for [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email]
Created activation for [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address]
====> Rule 018 fired for order: 210105
Triggered node [Customer Activity Analysis]
Triggered node [Suspect Reason Code Review]
Triggered node [End Fraud Analysis Flow]
Rules executed successfully
The results are roughly what I'd expect, but I have some questions:
- Why do the activations get created for these 3 rules before any flows
have started?
- Why does the [Order Analysis] node get triggered before the [Start Fraud
Analysis Flow] node?
- Why are activations created again for 011 and 051 just prior to 018
firing?
If I introduce an AgendaFilter that only allows a rule with a specific name
to fire, things get stranger to me. If I only allow rule 018, I get the
following output:
Executing test Rule018TestCase001
Invoking rules for rule name Rule 018 - Good AVS Buyer
Created activation for [Rule 018 - Good AVS Buyer]
Created activation for [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address]
Created activation for [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email]
Triggered node [Order Analysis]
Triggered node [Start Fraud Analysis Flow]
Triggered node [Customer Analysis]
Rejecting firing of [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email] because name
doesn't match.
Cancelled activation for [Rule 051 - Suspicious Buyer Email] because FILTER
Rejecting firing of [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address] because name doesn't
match.
Cancelled activation for [Rule 011 - Bad Zip 9 Address] because FILTER
Rules executed successfully
Ruleflow customerActivityFilterAndLookup doesn't even get triggered, nor do
any nodes after that. Why not?

OSGi version of Drools
by Flavius Vespasianus
Hello,
is there anywhere a OSGi bundle with Drools 4.0.7? I know about
com.springsource.org.drools.* but these had a lot of additional
dependencies and I wasn't able to get them work.
My problem is that I need to have three projects: one is the basic
library which uses Drools very intensively. The second project is editor
- an Eclipse plugin (that's why I need the OSGi bundle) using some
classes from the basic library. It doesn't use Drools, but there is a
dependency. The third project is classic Java application, also using
the basic library.
The basic library was originally created using standard Drools project
wizard (I have downloaded the Eclipse Drools plugin -
org.drools.eclipse). But when I tried to deploy it as an Eclipse plugin,
it couldn't find the Drools classes.
I found a little workaround - I have compiled the binaries (drools-core,
drools-compiler and from libs the mvel, antlr3 and eclipse-jdt-core)
into separate plugin using "Create a plugin from existing jars" wizard.
But if I add this dependency to the basic library, I get a
NullPointerException error on every dslr file and I cannot run the
application properly). At least the second project (editor) can be compiled.
What am I doing wrong? Or can I find somewhere the binaries compiled
correctly into OSGi bundle?
Thanks a lot!
