Hey all, I'm trying to dip some toes into the water with Drools, and have an application that would be a good start but having some understanding/lacking an appropriate example issue. The application context, let's say, is Mortgages, and already using the Mortgage rules that are stored in a running instance of Guvnor. Going back to 'toe in water', lets assume that all 'facts' are loaded on call (so nothing is pre-loaded, all data to run a rule is supplied at the time the rule is called). This is to make it easier to get started without jumping all-in just yet ;-) Using the mortgage business rule 'CreditApproval' that is already loaded into Guvnor, I can see passing the Application object, with the creditRating field/fact to a rule. However, instead of populating and returning a loanApplication object, how would I return just the decision/end result of a rule if it was only one value (the approved/not approved decision) from the java app? KnowledgeBase is loaded from the java app, but struggling with StatefulKnowledgeSession versus StatelessKnowledgeSession and how to simply get back the rule decision value (again, preferably without a specific object if it is only one value)? I'm also looking to only fire/execute one rule at a time for now until we get comfortable - any help for an app developer trying to ease their way into drools? Sorry if I not overly clear, still trying to learn the appropriate terminology :-) -Darren -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/app-dev-toe-in-water-help-please-tp3249...

drools-solver results question

by Andrew Waterman

Hello, I'm starting to work with the drools-solver to help on a gaming project. Basically, we have a game that works in two modes: 1) a competitive game where humans (or agents) compete with one another on a well defined game board to achieve 24 points by using three (or four) agricultural development tokens. 2. A puzzle, where all 4 players work cooperatively to create an equitable solution, where all 4 players win with at least 24 points by means of our agricultural development tokens. I am starting to work with drools-solver to address the puzzle part of our game. Basically, we are interested in having the solver do two things for us: a) find the optimal solution for our game/puzzle, based upon our requirements [this part seems quite straightforward] and b) getting the total number of solutions that satisfy our constraints. We would like, as well, to be able to inspect these other, sub-optimal, solutions, in order to explore our game and puzzle further. From my reading of the "Solver" API , it looks like we will only be able to get the optimal solution. Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround in this case? Or is there some functionality in the solver that I am missing? I look forward to your feedback. best wishes, Andrew --------------------------------- Andrew Waterman San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico

Need help with setFocus

by new2drools

Hi All, Need some help with understanding setFocus. I have the following use case: if (condition1) { if (condition2) { } else if (condition3) { } else if (condition 4) { } } if (condition5) { if (condition2) { } else if (condition3) { } else if (condition 4) { } } I created 3 rules (rule2, rule3, rule4) for checking condition2, condition3, condition4 and created 1 agenda group (groupX) for them. I created 2 rules (rule1, rule5) for checking condition1, condition5 and created 1 agenda group(groupY) for them. rule "rule1" agenda-group "groupY" when // then drools.setFocus("groupX"); end rule "rule3" agenda-group "groupX" activation-group "someActiveGroup" when // then // end >From the java code: ksession.getAgenda().getAgendaGroup("groupY").setFocus(); Problem: The first time, drools.setFocus("groupX") is invoked, I see that it's working fine. rule2 or rule3 or rule4 get triggered. But, the SECOND time that drools.setFocus("groupX") is invoked, I don't see that any rule in agenda-group groupX is being invoked...even though one of the rule's LHS explicitly matches...thinking that the activation-group is cancelling all the activation's (after one rule in that activation group is fired), I even removed the activation-group statement. But, it didn't help...ideally, I would like to bunch rule2, rule3, rule4 in one activation group. Can you please let me know as to why the second invocation of setFocus is not working? I even tried to remove everything in LHS of rule2/3/4, to see if the second invocation would work...it doesn't... Thanks!! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-help-with-setFocus-tp24177742p24177742.html Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

conways game of life

by Mark Proctor

For anyone looking for a good and complex example on how to write rules properly, please look at Conways Game of Life in drools-examples, for extra bonus points compare it to the old version in M1. You'll see nearly all the logic is moved from java to the drl and we have removed the need for nested objects by using objects relaitionally, which also allows us to exploit cross products to drive the application.

How to read XML using XMLPackageReader-Drools-compiler.5.2.1.final?

by Praveen

Hi, I am using Drools-compiler.5.2.1.final. I am trying to convert an drl to xml and vice versa using DrlParser, DrlDumper, XMLPackageReader and XML Dumper. Drl to XML conversion works fine but XML to Drl throws NPE. I have placed the XML file under a folder called sample. NPE is thrown at line 5.. Also attached is the exception. Please suggest. TIA. Reader source = new InputStreamReader( DroolsConversionHelper.class.getResourceAsStream(xmlFileName)); PackageBuilderConfiguration conf = new PackageBuilderConfiguration(); XmlPackageReader reader = new XmlPackageReader(conf.getSemanticModules()); DrlDumper dumper = new DrlDumper(); //line 5 reader.read(source); PackageDescr descr = reader.getPackageDescr(); String test = dumper.dump(descr); System.out.println(test); java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.xml.ExtensibleXmlParser.resolveSchema(ExtensibleXmlParser.java:696) at org.drools.xml.ExtensibleXmlParser.resolveEntity(ExtensibleXmlParser.java:622) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.EntityResolverWrapper.resolveEntity(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.resolveEntity(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XMLSchemaLoader.resolveDocument(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.findSchemaGrammar(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.handleStartElement(Unknown Source) Regards, Praveen. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/How-to-read-XML-using-XMLPackageReader-...

Drools Planner: Vehicle routing problems

by davidglassborow

Hi, as discussed the other day with Ge0ffrey on IRC, I've been trying to get some vehicle routing done using the new TSP / chaining functionality in drools planner. I've written an example, but am having problems with the chaining of jobs together. After pulling my hair out, I've put together an example into my fork of planner, showing a simplified example of how I am approaching it, and the problem that can be replicated. https://github.com/davidglassborow/drools-planner/tree/vehicle_routing It is a very simple console app along the same lines as the hello world example for NQueens. On running it will print out the chains, and you will see the some Jobs appear more than once in the same list. On the planning variable it seems to be get assigned in front of itself, I've put some notes in the source, and checked that the same doesn't occur in your TSP example. I'm not sure if its a bug in the way I've setup things, or whether its an issue in the chain move code. Greatly appreciated if anybody in the know gets a chance to have a look.

Drools Planner: what if possible values of a PlanningVariable are dependent of another one?

by Willem van Asperen

Hi All, I have a PlanningEntity that has several planning variables, say A and B. Now, if A is O then B can be X or Y and when A is P then B can be Y or Z. I see two routes: * create a solution property that generates X, Y and Z as alternatives for B and rely on the score rules to dismiss improper values, depending on the value of A * create an entity property that only generates the possible values for B (i.e. X,Y for A=O and Y,Z for A=P) What is the best route? (Alternatively I do not use the constructionHeuristic and just start of my solution with a randomly (but correct) generated solution) Regards, Willem

Spring, KnowledgeAgent, and Guvnor

by paulB

I'm having a problem connecting my KnowledgeAgent to a package in Guvnor. I'm using Spring to instantiate the KnowledgeAgent. The agent initializes perfectly well when I point to a local change-set that in-turn points to a local rule. However, even though I have the same rule in a package in Guvnor, the KnowledgeAgent fails with the following exception when I point to the package's change-set in Guvnor: The code at KnowledgeBaseImpl.java:148 is (using 5.3.0.Final): Here is the simple rule in the Guvnor as returned by the URL for the package source URL: Here is the local change-set definition. The line that is commented is the failing resource, whereas the local file resource works fine: Guvnor is residing on a Tomcat server. I could not find anything related to this on the forum. Thank you for any hints. -Paul -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Spring-KnowledgeAgent-and-Guvnor-tp3500...

Starting resource change scanner and notifier in drools-server.

by Graham Thomson

Hi, I would like to ask for help with setting up drools-server with Guvnor. I am using version 5.1.1 of both. I am trying to set up an instance of drools-server in Tomcat that periodically loads new updates of packages published in Guvnor (both drools-server and Guvnor run in the same instance of Tomcat). My change set definition is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <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/...'> <add> <resource source='http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/<one of my packages>/LATEST' type='PKG' basicAuthentication="enabled" username="<username>" password="" /> <resource source="http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/<another of my packages>/LATEST" type="PKG" basicAuthentication="enabled" username="<username>" password="" /> </add> </change-set> My knowledge-services.xml configuration is as follows (based on the unit test examples highlighted in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user/20992/match=drools+s...): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/trunk/drools-containe..."> <drools:resource-change-scanner id="s1" interval="5" /> <drools:execution-node id="node1" /> <drools:ksession id="ksession1" type="stateless" kbase="kbase1" node="node1"/> <drools:kbase id="kbase1" node="node1" /> <drools:kagent id="kagent1" kbase="kbase1"> <drools:resources> <drools:resource type="CHANGE_SET" source="classpath:changeset.xml" /> </drools:resources> </drools:kagent> </beans> On loading drools-server, the resources listed in the change set are loaded and available. The problem is that when a new package built and published in Guvnor, drools-server does not detect this and update itself. The effect is the same as if a KnowledgeAgent were used locally and ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start(); ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start(); were not called. This leads me to the assumption that drools-server does not start these services by default. My question is then can/how do I configure drools-server to start these services such that it will update new changes from Guvnor automatically? Thanks a lot for any help you can offer, Cheers, Graham.
