The insertion of DataReading events happens "instantaneously", without
Drools regaining "consciousness" in between. So, when the Engine wakes up,
it finds 20 activations in its agenda, with the same salience. Tie breaking
is defined to use LIFO.
Running the Engine in real time, these 20 events are indeed concurrently
from the Engine's point of view, and any order of firings is justified; all
the more so because your rule contains nothing to prefer a firing of an
older event.
If the order of your concurrently arriving events is essential, you may have
to insert an ordinal as a property.

I am running a simple test like so:

DataReading dr = new DataReading("Reading " + x, x);
myStream.insert(dr);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static KnowledgeBase readKnowledgeBase() throws Exception {
KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder =
KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("Sample.drl"),
ResourceType.DRL);
KnowledgeBuilderErrors errors = kbuilder.getErrors();
if (errors.size() > 0) {
for (KnowledgeBuilderError error: errors) {
System.err.println(error);
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Could not parse knowledge.");
}
KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
kbase.addKnowledgePackages(kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
return kbase;
}
}
With the following rule in the sample.drl file:
package com.sample
import com.sample.DroolsTest.Message;
import java.util.Date;
declare DataReading
@role( event )
end
rule "MyGuidedRule"
dialect "mvel"
when
$dr: DataReading( reading > "10.0" ) from entry-point "My
Stream"
then
System.err.println("Reading: " + $dr.name + " > 10.0 " +
System.currentTimeMillis());
end
know I am running fireUntilHalt on a seperate thread as you can see, but
events injected fire rules out of order...in fact almost the exact
opposite order in which they were inserted to the stream every time:
Reading: Reading 19.0 > 10.0 1311325346490
Reading: Reading 18.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 17.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 16.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 15.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 14.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 13.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 12.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
Reading: Reading 11.0 > 10.0 1311325346491
I want to eventually perform temporal reasoning, but how can I expect
that to work if events are not evaluated in the order they were inserted.
Perhaps I am setting up my session/kb improperly?
Thanks,
Chris
