             Summary: Major problem in Rules evaluation. Can not sort Integers correctly
                 Key: DROOLS-15
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-15
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: John Smith
            Assignee: Mark Proctor
            Priority: Blocker


This sample is given in the drools documentation http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html_single/index.html#d0e9542. This drool rule is expected to sort integers. I just changed the numbers from what are given in the sample and they do not get sorted as expected. Tried using drools version 5.5.0, 5.5.1 and the master 6.0.0, but got the same wrong results.

Following is the main code:
    package com.sample;

    public class Example2 {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Number[] numbers = new Number[] { wrap(5), wrap(6), wrap(4), wrap(1), wrap(2) };
        new RuleRunner().runRules(new String[] { "Example3.drl" }, numbers);
      }

      private static Integer wrap(int i) {
        return new Integer(i);
      }
    }

The RuleRunner class is the same as given in the example and I do not think I should give that here, since it will clutter the question. It simply creates the KnowledgeBase, stateful session, inserts the facts as given in the 'numbers' array above and then calls fireAllRules method on the session.

The rule file (Example3.drl) is:


 rule "Rule Sort"
     dialect "mvel"
   when
     $number : Number()
     not Number(intValue < $number.intValue)
   then
     System.out.println("Number found with value: " + $number.intValue());
     retract($number);
 end


The output I get is as follows:

Loading file: Example3.drl
Inserting fact: 5
Inserting fact: 6
Inserting fact: 4
Inserting fact: 1
Inserting fact: 2
Number found with value: 1
Number found with value: 4
Number found with value: 2
Number found with value: 5
Number found with value: 6

Not the correct expected ascending sorted order.
