Hi,
I have finally gained a tiny bit of control (and maybe even some competency) in using the
DROOLs language operators 'no-loop' and 'lock-on-active' as a basis for
controlling rule set firing behavior in response to Fact mutation events (during
consequence processing).
I now want to (competently!) use DROOLs language tactics that give me ever finer grained
control over managing rule set firing behavior on Fact mutation events. Specifically, I
want to be able to implement some form of 'Guarded entry/block' controls.
E.g. let's say I have a Fact (InsertedFactPOJO) that I insert into the KS and want to
have its 'fireAllRules()' AgendaSet(s) renedered in exact incremental ordinal
stages and in perfect isolation. To do this, I am testing the inclusion of a
'countdownLatch' Semaphore reference as a Fact member (initialized to N=`total
rule count` value). I then use this to 'Guard' individual rule entry, by
generating an explicit predicate participant
(InsertedFactPOJO(countdownLatch == i) )
@ each ith Rule producedby my template.
Is this approach a valid/sound/complete way to implement 'Guarded entry/block'
controls in DROOLs? Is there a better way?
As always, my sincerest gratitude to this community for its generosity (and its genius).
