I just started using drools and this is my first time implementing a
rules engine. Everything has been pretty smooth but I have some
quirks that I am not sure I can live with.
1) for some reason, if I execute the Knowlege session against an
object, the knowlege session never returns.
I don't understand the term "execute...against an object". Do you mean
that you have just one fact inserted befor you call fireAllRules()?
But anyway, this call not returning is almost certainly due to a loop
in your rules, or have you made sure that they don't?
The only way I can get
the ksession to return is to make IF (obj == null) part of the LHS and
make modify($input){setObj("complete")} part of the RHS
This seems like a deficiency since I have users writing their own
rules, I can see them forgetting this requirement.
Writing rules is programming, no holds barred :-)
Look into Domain Specific Languages (DSL) as a cushion for the unwary.
IS their a way to
get the ksession to firerules only once? If so what does that look like?
kSession.fireUntilHalt( 1 );
2) It seems that any code I want can be executed in the RHS. I
could
literally execute something like the following in the RHS.
byte[] b= new byte[10000000000000]; // Really big memory waste
I also could just start a bunch of threads.
The point is that I am intending to let the users write their own
rules but I can't do that if there are no restrictions on how/what can
be done inside the rules. Any suggestions? Are there sandboxes or
filters I can activate to restrict the RHS?
Again: DSL.
Also, Rule Templates might be the starting point; it'd depend on what
the may be allowed to do.
And what about good old-fashioned training?!
