I have rules like the following: rule "Add Baseline to Context if it does not exists exists or not greater then 0" no-loop true when $context:Context($id:id,baselineParticipation==null || baselineParticipation.baselineRatio==null||baselineParticipation.baselineRatio==0) then modify($firm) {setBaselineParticipation(new BaselineParticipation($id,new BigDecimal(0.00485)))}; end rule "Calculate Participation Ratio" no-loop true when $context:Context(consolidatdVolume!=null,consolidatdVolume.avgVolume>0, volumeAccumulations["total"]!=null,volumeAccumulations["total"]>0, $ratio:(volumeAccumulations["total"]/consolidatdVolume.avgVolume)) then ConcurrentMap calculatedRatios=$firm.getCalculatedRatios(); calculatedRatios.put("fparticipationRatio",new BigDecimal($ratio)); modify($firm){setCalculatedRatios(calculatedRatios)}; end Despite the checks I get the following exception and any insight into why would be great: Exception executing consequence for rule "Calculate Firm Participation Ratio" in com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero Exception executing consequence for rule "Calculate Firm Participation Ratio" in com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero at org.drools.runtime.rule.impl.DefaultConsequenceExceptionHandler.handleException(DefaultConsequenceExceptionHandler.java:39) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:1297) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(DefaultAgenda.java:1221) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireAllRules(DefaultAgenda.java:1456) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:710) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:674) at org.drools.impl.StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.fireAllRules(StatefulKnowledgeSessionImpl.java:230) at com.nasdaq.fq.rms.workflow.processor.rules.PerformanceStatusAssignmentProcessor.doWork(PerformanceStatusAssignmentProcessor.java:156) at com.ften.ssr.workqueue.WorkItemRunnable.run(WorkItemRunnable.java:48) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724) Caused by: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero at ConditionEvaluatorda6271cf5a744b6bbdb9c717cae2edb7.evaluate(Unknown Source) at org.drools.rule.constraint.MvelConstraint.evaluate(MvelConstraint.java:200) at org.drools.rule.constraint.MvelConstraint.isAllowed(MvelConstraint.java:157) at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.modifyObject(AlphaNode.java:154) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.doPropagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:507) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.propagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:432) at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.modifyObject(AlphaNode.java:157) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.doPropagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:507) at org.drools.reteoo.CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.propagateModifyObject(CompositeObjectSinkAdapter.java:432) at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectTypeNode.modifyObject(ObjectTypeNode.java:314) at org.drools.reteoo.EntryPointNode.modifyObject(EntryPointNode.java:265) at org.drools.common.NamedEntryPoint.update(NamedEntryPoint.java:483) at org.drools.common.NamedEntryPoint.update(NamedEntryPoint.java:383) at org.drools.base.DefaultKnowledgeHelper.update(DefaultKnowledgeHelper.java:337) at com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status.Rule_Calculate_Firm_Participation_Ratio_cfb033f33c2b404fb2bff8e1b9af0175.defaultConsequence(Unknown Source) at com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status.Rule_Calculate_Firm_Participation_Ratio_cfb033f33c2b404fb2bff8e1b9af0175DefaultConsequenceInvokerGenerated.evaluate(Unknown Source) at com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status.Rule_Calculate_Firm_Participation_Ratio_cfb033f33c2b404fb2bff8e1b9af0175DefaultConsequenceInvoker.evaluate(Unknown Source) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:1287) ... 10 more -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Drools-5-5-divide-by-0-exception-tp4026...

I can anticipate the answer where OP says that there is a constraint restricting argVolume to > 0. However, I don't think that independent constraints such as we see them in this rule are evaluated as if they were in a single logical expression, with Java semantics. The seductive possibility of binding to a half-baked expression (i.e., $ratio:(volumeAccumulations["total"]/consolidatdVolume.avgVolume)) should be discarded. This value can safely be computed on the RHS where the denominator's value being !=0 is asserted. -W On 01/11/2013, Stephen Masters <

Given that you don’t seem to using the result as a constraint, then I can’t see any benefit to it being on the LHS. So yes, It would be better on the RHS. Steve On 1 Nov 2013, at 17:58, Wolfgang Laun <

Am I wrong or these are not the (only) rules that are being run? 1) The exception is thrown as the consequence of a rule called com.nasdaq.rms.nq.status.Rule_Calculate_Firm_Participation_Ratio_cfb033f33c2b404fb2bff8e1b9af0175 "Rule Calculate Firm Participation Ratio", which is not shown. 2) The Rule "Add baseline to context..." modifies a $firm which is not bound anywhere in that rule.. 3) Looking at the stack trace, the consequence happens in a MVEL Constraint, which is in an Alpha Node immediately after an ObjectTypeNode. This usually means that the failing constraint is the first in the pattern, which is not the case in your "Calculate Participation Ratio". (to Wolfgang's point: it is not mandatory, since "and" is commutative, but this is what usually happens in practice) You also have multiple threads... is that "avgVolume" computed using an accumulate somewhere? I wonder if there are critical races..... On 11/01/2013 11:17 AM, gboro54 wrote: > Agreed.
