Ed and James,
I would love to attend ORF to learn more
about the science of rules engines in general as well. I’m not sure if I can
get the company to cover the cost as well as the entire week of training days
off. I also unfortunately, have a pretty large customer meeting the actual
week of ORF. Now, they have said they are open to sending me to the Drools
boot camp and that I don’t have to necessarily be there to meet the customers
that week, so I might make a pitch.
One thing about the ORF though. It seems
a bit intimidating. By that I mean I will be surrounded by domain experts
whereas I know little to nothing about rules based systems/design. I am trying
to feel out Drools within a prototype application and we do plan on using it
more, but I literally haven’t had the time to do some of the more theoretical
background reading about algorithms(Rete and others) and other topics like
this. I’m afraid I would be completely lost and unable to really contribute
anything to discussions at the ORF.
I also want to be able do defend the ORF
as beneificial to someone like me if I am to sell it to my superiors and really
believe it.
What are your thoughts guys?
Chris

James here. From a purely selfish point of view, the Drools Boot
Camp in
Where else would you get a chance to listen to Dr. Charles Forgy, Gary
Riley, Tom Cooper, Dr. Richard Hicks, Paul Vincent, Carlos Seranno-Morales, Dr.
Daniel Levine, John Zachman and many, many others in one week? A seminar
with ANY of these would cost more than the $500 that you would pay for ORf.
Most techies go through life and NEVER get to meet even one of these
guys. Not only that, you will get to hear them discuss among themselves
and with the attendees all of the problems that are cropping up all over the world
and possible solutions. Where else would you get to ask Dr. Forgy
questions, one-on-one, about the NEW algorithm called TECH that is at least 10
times faster than his Rete 2 / III? Or to get into details with him about
parallel rulebased systems?
And, you never know - this could be the last ORF. There might not
be another one like this. Perhaps this sounds self-serving, but I can't
stress enough the importance of attending NOW and not putting this off until
another time. There might never be another time like this with this
particular cast of speakers.

streams/entry points from java api
Chris,
That is indeed missing in the public API. I am adding it as we
speak, thanks for bringing that up:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2285
Meanwhile, until we release the new version, the workaround is to
downcast the interface:
for(WorkingMemoryEntryPoint
entry : session.getWorkingMemoryEntryPoints()){
System.err.println("entry point stream: " +
((InternalWorkingMemoryEntryPoint)entry).getEntryPoint().getEntryPointId());
}

Hello,
I am trying to determine, iterate the working
memory streams within my rule by doing the following:
for(WorkingMemoryEntryPoint
entry : session.getWorkingMemoryEntryPoints()){
System.err.println("entry point stream: " + entry.toString());
}
But I can find no method/way to finid
the actual text name of the entry point(what is written in the rule as from
entry-point “xxxx”).
Is there a way to do this? To list the
readable names of the entry points from your session? I would like to
list those entry points in a drop down as application profiles, so if they have
one selected, one entry point of rules will be inserted to and so on..
Thanks,
Chris
