Re: [rules-users] Group-by rule without using a fact for grouping purposes
The devices may come and go and there may be several hundreds of them.
They are stored in a database.
Currently, I feed the events into the knowledge session and trigger an
EJB call (instead of the simple System.out.println I used in the example
below) and pass the device id. The EJB does the rest and looks up the
device and related information from the database. If the id is unknown,
this call is just a NOOP.
Currently the knowledge session and the database need no
synchronization. I just wanted to avoid this in my design, but now it
seems to be necessary just for this group-by issue. I can imagine that I
can also insert the fact using a rule that matches if I get an event for
a currently unknown device (i.e., having no fact for it in the session),
but how to clean up the facts if a device disappears. This @expires
annotation is only valid for events afaik.
Are there really no alternatives for this group-by instead of having
the fact?

Why is it "not practical" to add a fact for a device? You
don't have
to do this up front; they may come and go, dynamically.
