Since you ask me... It may not be "wisdom", though...
I do not use 'dialect "mvel"' in the rules I write. Here are some facts
on
which this decision is based.
- My company develops safety-relevant SW according to the standards set
forth by a body called
CENELEC<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Committee_for_Electrotec...;.
The (for us) essential standard refutes the use of any language that hasn't
a formal definition. I've never found such a definition for MVEL.
- A considerable number of Drools bugs are, in fact, MVEL bugs.
- Bug fixing of MVEL by its author is tardy (as I've been told by
members of the Drools team), and therefore:
- The Drools project had to adopt the strategy of issuing their own
release of MVEL, to be bundled with Drools releases.
There's some good reasons why MVEL has been introduced into Drools, and why
it is used when and where it is used. But I wouldn't recommend it's use in
RHS of rules just to save me the trouble of writing the more verbose Java
equivalent.
Also, I'd like to point out that MVEL bug fixing has picked up as soon as
Drools team members were available to do so.
Cheers

Yep, Wolfgang,****

It’s a code issue � I just identified it… thanks. I have another thread
talking about NoClassDefFound exception. Would appreciate if you can share
your wisdom there.****

Hi, folks,****
****
I’m using Drools 5.1, MVEL dialect, JDK 1.6 to build a OLTP system running
on tomcat 6.0.28. the runtime environment is on a cloud virtual and node
profile is relatively small. We’ve noticed below run time exceptions from
prod since it’s online from day one which is impacting transaction
processing. However it is happening adhoc-ly. Here I have 1 question:****
****
1. The yellow marked lines are actually java file compiled from DRL
file. Why there is null pointer exception thrown from
org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation?****
