RE: [rules-users] Can drools comtinue testing even if one of theconditions fail ?

Please don't cross post: http://www.jboss.org/drools/lists.html IMO, Drools can do what you want but you need to change the way you are thinking about the problem. The behaviour you consider undesirable is by design as all patterns (i.e. conditions) need to be matched for the consequence to activate. The way that came immediately to mind was to place individual conditions into separate rules and have the consequences record the match. Very simplistically (a mash-up of code and pseudo code):- Rule "setup" when then ConditionHolder h = new ConditionHolder(); h.add(condition1, false); //false indicates the condition was not matched, true that it was h.add(condition2, false); insert(new ConditionsHolder()); End Rule "condition1" when condition1 $h : ConditionHolder() then $h.set(condition1, true); End Rule "condition2" when condition2 $h : ConditionHolder() then $h.set(condition2, true); End You can then retrieve ConditionHolder and lookup which conditions were matched or unmatched. Good luck.

Hi, I'm using drools for testing if the few attributes of my MO are not null. I construct the rule in the .drl file in following way : rule "name" when condition1 condition2 condition3 condition4 then consequence end I have observed that the drool engine verifies the conditions line by line (in the sequence they have written). The moment condition fails, control comes back to the calling method. I don't want this. I want the control to execute each and every condition whether true or false and maintain a record of passed/failed conditions. Something like this : rule "name" when condition1 log the test result --- This statement should get executed even if condition 1 fails and control should go to condition 2 condition2 log the test result condition3 log the test result condition4 log the test result then consequence end Is this possible in Drools ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-drools-comtinue-testing-even-if-one-of-the-con ditions-fail---tp18995160p18995160.html Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
