I am not sure on what you are trying to achieve. Drools is a Rule Engine and not a XML parser; the nearest I could find to what you are reporting ("I know XML Streaming is possible in Drools") is the following. http://netzooid.com/blog/2007/03/16/sxc-simple-xml-compiler-jaxb-runtime-... Can you enlighten me with your knowledge of XML Streaming in Drools? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Gupta, Ankit (Ankit) [mailto:gupta11@avaya.com] *Sent:* 29 January 2009 10:04 *To:* Anstis, Michael (M.) *Subject:* RE: [rules-users] Parsing XML using Drools Hi Mike, Thanks for prompt reply , Actually right now I am streaming the xml <BenchmarkResultsFor> <Benchmark>DataProcessing</Benchmark> <Workload>1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16</Workload> <Memory>4, 4, 4, 8, 8, 12, 12, 16, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24</Memory> </BenchmarkResultsFor> here we are using apache math api for interpolation * * *public* MemoryBenchmarkResult(String name, *double*[] x, *double*[] y) { *this*.hostFunction = name; // Create the interpolation function SplineInterpolator i1 = *new* SplineInterpolator(); *this*.workload = x; *this*.memory = y; *this*.interpolator = i1.interpolate(*this*.workload, *this*.memory); } here we are passing the values of X Axis (Workload) and we get the values of Y Axis (Memory ). Reading or Streaming of this XML are doing using SAX . This thing I want to do with Drools ...... as I know XML Streaming is possible in Drools .

If the XML represents Facts then you could use a worker Fact and "FROM" to deserialise them and make them available to WM. For example:- rule "get some XML facts" when $w : Worker() Cheese( ) from $w.getCheesesFromXML(); then //Do something with cheese end Obviously the XML need not be true serialised objects (in a JAXB sense) but simply the properties that "getCheeseFromXML" rehydrates. Drools is not exposing any of the XML libraries; they are merely used by your code. The above would be (partially) equivalent to:- Worker w = new Worker(); List<Cheese> cheeses = w.getCheesesFromXML(); for(Cheese c : cheeses) { wm.insert(c); } rule "Cheese pre-loaded" when Cheese( ) then //Do something with cheese end Partially equivalent as you could retract Cheese( ) in the second way which would affect truth maintenance whereas the first way would (I believe) not.
