RE: [rules-users] Rule definition help
It seems inefficient to make calls to a database from a rule LHS as (I'm
guessing [Edson?]) that the Rete network can't be built\optimised around
an evaluated predicate (trying to use the correct language, but possibly
failing badly). Would the AlertCondition not already have these
properties populated? Making the rule simpler too:
Rule "Device not working (condition id = 4)"
when
$ac : AlertCondition (conditionId ==4, $eid : entityID,
$p : power, $at : ambTemperature)
then
log("Triggered Device not working alert for " + $eid +
", power=" + $p + ", ambient temperature=" + $at);
end

Subject: [rules-users] Rule definition help
I am very new to JBoss rules and I am trying to use it
for evaluating alert conditions.
I am asserting the AlertDefinition object as a fact
into the working memory.
The rules file would define a variety of alert
condition rules.
for example
rule "Device not working (condition id = 4)"
# the if part
when
alertDefinition : AlertDefinition (conditionID
== 4,
eid : entityID)
# here i would like to get the last power
reading from device
# with id == eid
eval (dao.getPower(eid).doubleValue() < 1000)
# then get temperature from the device
eval ((dao.getTemperature(eid) != null &&
dao.getTemperature(eid) > 50)
|| (dao.getAmbTemperature(eid) != null &&
dao.getAmbTemperature(eid) > 40)
)
then
# what do we do if the rule evaluates to true
log("Triggered Device not working alert for "
+ eid);
end
Here are my questions:
1. Am using the evals correctly? Can I possibly split
this into multiple rules to make it work better?
2. Can assign dao.getTemperature(eid) to a field. The
getTemperature call is expensive and doing it twice is
not right.
Any pointer would be appreciated.
