Hi, I'm using *Drools 5.0M5* and *Web Guided decision tables*. What I want to be able to do is to create several decision tables under one package and then using an Agenda filter and firelimit option to fire one rule from a single decision table that I'm filtering. What I did to try and accomplish this is the following. I notice that each row in the decision table has a rule name that matches the following format: "Row 1 DecisionTableName", "Row 2 DecisionTableName" ... "Row N DecisionTableName", so I create a *RuleNameEndsWithAgendaFilter *agenda filter to only accept rules that ends with "DecisionTableName". Then I call on the* StatefulSession.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, fireLimit)* with my agenda filter and a *firelimit *of 1. What I'm noticing is some inconsistent behavior were the logic would work sometimes and not other times. It seems to always works if there is a single decision table under the package. After debuging the*StatefuleSession.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, firelimit) *, I tracked down the issue to the way the *firelimit *count updated in the* "DefaultAgenda.fireAllRules(AgendaFilter, fireLimit)"* and with the * "DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(AgendaFilter)"*. I may have misunderstood what the *firelimit *meant but it seems like the while loop in the *fireAllRules *always decrements the firelimit count regardless if the *DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(AgendaFilter)* calls the *fireActivation *method or the *fireActivationCancelled* method. I would perfer the *firelimit *count to only get decremented if the *fireNextItem *results in a *fireActivation *method call and I think the logic will work for my scenario. Looking at the documenation, it look like the logic is geared towards focusing agenda groups, but I do not want to have maintain a agenda group column on my decision tables. I want each decision table to be an agenda group automagically. I have included the following code showing the *firelimit *is always updated in the while loop below: public int *fireAllRules*(AgendaFilter agendaFilter, int fireLimit) { this.halt.set( false ); int fireCount = 0; while ( continueFiring( fireLimit ) && fireNextItem( agendaFilter ) ) { fireCount++; *fireLimit = updateFireLimit( fireLimit );* this.workingMemory.executeQueuedActions(); } if ( this.focusStack.size() == 1 && getMainAgendaGroup().isEmpty() ) { // the root MAIN agenda group is empty, reset active to false, so it can receive more activations. getMainAgendaGroup().setActive( false ); } return fireCount; } Thanks, Guy ------------------------------ *A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Will you create a Jira ticket for this issue? Also, I found a work around for my scenario let me know if it is advisable to update Rule at runtime. I'm iterating overall of the rules in the packages and setting the agenda group name to the rule name, sans the "Row N". Then before firingAllRules, focus the agenda group that matches the decision table I want to evaluate. Code: // Get the rulebase RuleBase ruleBase = ruleAgent.getRuleBase(); // Iterate over package and rules to update the agenda group name for(Package package : ruleBase.getPackages()) { int total = package.getRules().length(); for (Rule rule : package.getRules()) { rule.setAgendaGroup(parseRuleName(rule.getName())); rule.setSalience(new SalienceInteger((int) ((total - rule.getLoadOrder()) + 1)); } } // Create the new stateful session StatefulSession statefulSession = ruleBase.newStatefulSession(); try { // Insert the facts. statefulSession.insert(fact); // Focus the appropriate agenda group... statefulSession.focus(theDecisionTableName); // Fire the rules with agenda filter and firelimit. statefulSession.fireAllRules(new RuleNameEndsWithAgendaFilter(theDecisionTableName, true), 1); } finally { // Dispose of the session when done. statefulSession.dispose(); } Thanks, Guy _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
