Re: [rules-users] Help with using Agenda filter and firelimit with Web Guided decision tables

Hi, I'm using *Drools 5.0M5* and *Web Guided decision tables*. What I want to be able to do is to create several decision tables under one package and then using an Agenda filter and firelimit option to fire one rule from a single decision table that I'm filtering. What I did to try and accomplish this is the following. I notice that each row in the decision table has a rule name that matches the following format: "Row 1 DecisionTableName", "Row 2 DecisionTableName" ... "Row N DecisionTableName", so I create a *RuleNameEndsWithAgendaFilter *agenda filter to only accept rules that ends with "DecisionTableName". Then I call on the* StatefulSession.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, fireLimit)* with my agenda filter and a *firelimit *of 1. What I'm noticing is some inconsistent behavior were the logic would work sometimes and not other times. It seems to always works if there is a single decision table under the package. After debuging the*StatefuleSession.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, firelimit) *, I tracked down the issue to the way the *firelimit *count updated in the* "DefaultAgenda.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, fireLimit)"* and with the * "DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(AgendaFilter)"*. I may have misunderstood what the *firelimit *meant but it seems like the while loop in the *fireAllRules *always decrements the firelimit count regardless if the *DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(AgendaFilter)* calls the *fireActivation *method or the *fireActivationCancelled* method. I would perfer the *firelimit *count to only get decremented if the *fireNextItem *results in a *fireActivation *method call and I think the logic will work for my scenario. Looking at the documenation, it look like the logic is geared towards focusing agenda groups, but I do not want to have maintain a agenda group column on my decision tables. I want each decision table to be an agenda group automagically. I have included the following code showing the *firelimit *is always updated in the while loop below: public int *fireAllRules*(AgendaFilter agendaFilter, int fireLimit) { this.halt.set( false ); int fireCount = 0; while ( continueFiring( fireLimit ) && fireNextItem( agendaFilter ) ) { fireCount++; *fireLimit = updateFireLimit( fireLimit );* this.workingMemory.executeQueuedActions(); } if ( this.focusStack.size() == 1 && getMainAgendaGroup().isEmpty() ) { // the root MAIN agenda group is empty, reset active to false, so it can receive more activations. getMainAgendaGroup().setActive( false ); } return fireCount; } Thanks, Guy ------------------------------ *A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
