Re: [rules-users] Detecting two instances of the same event withFusion Rules

Hi, thanks for the reply. You are right, it's just not working the otherway round, if there would be no "not" $that : Thing(..) $other : Thing ( this != $that , ...) would match always twice. For example, if there were two "Thing"'s A and B it would match for the combination AB as well as BA... I know this was actually not my question, but I guess it was the reason I got confused J Thanks again!

Thing( this != $that,...) is the standard way of ensuring that a pattern matches two distinct objects of the same class, and there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to use it with not as well: $that : Thing(...) not ( Thing( this != $that,... ) ) "Given one Thing (with constraints...) and *not* having any *other* Thing (with constraints...), then..." -W 2010/5/26 Georg Maier <Georg.Maier(a)cjt.de&gt; Hi, I'm new to Drools and currently trying to implement some examples using CEP / Fusion. I got stuck on a problem to which I can't find any solution in the online documentation, so I'm hoping for your help. I'm trying to write a rule, which is activated whenever a certain event occurs and no event of the same type occurred in the e.g. last 5 minutes (or just at the same time). I know how to do it if these are events of different types, but I can't find any way for events of the same type. What I tried is something like that: $error : RouterErrorEvent ( $name : routerName ) from entry-point "abc" not ($otherError : RouterErrorEvent ( (this coincides $error) && (routerName == $name) ) from entry-point "abc") First of all there's the problem, that $error and $otherError will be the same instance if a "RouterEventError" has been inserted from the "abc" entry point. Adding a (this != $error) to the second, ($otherError) obviously is no solution to that as well. If it were two different events something like in example 2.19 would work: $error1 : ErrorOneEvent( $id : id ) not ($error2 : ErrorTwoEvent( id == $id, this coincides $error1 )) I'm kinda sure I'm missing something pretty "easy" here... or is this approach completely wrong? As I'm aware of the fact that I couldn't be more of a newbie J I would appreciate any suggestions for nice tutorials or further reading as well! Thanks in advance!
