[rules-users] Drools Community Clinic Feb 4th 5PM GMT

[Herman Post]

Like many folks in the user-list, I too am recently evaluating Drools for my organization.  So while I have a basic understanding of the many great features of Drools, how to integrate it into a high volume, highly reliable enterprise system is still somewhat of a mystery.  One specific thing I have been wondering about is the use of StatefulKnowledgeSessions.  It seems in the last few years the JEE world has favored simplicity and stateless systems to a large degree.  If my system has to be highly reliable, meaning I must guarantee (99.x%) that all data gets processed correctly, then how does one handle a StatefulKnowledgeSession that crashes?  I have seen discussion about serialization of WorkingMemory, but that has to be costly with a large number of facts.  Is hardware mirroring the only real solution?  I'd be interested in learning more about how Drools is or should be used in this type of environment.

Thanks,

Herman Post

I'm going to try an informal experiment for the 4th of February at 5PM 
GMT (Date/Time subject to change), we will run an online Drools Clinic 
in the form of a Webinar. So the idea here isn't of a 60 minute 
presentation, but really more of a 60 minute interactive Q&A where we 
will use the desktop to assist in some explanations talking through code 
or examples. What do people think?

Ideally we would have a set of pre-determined questions, with some adhoc 
ones on the day too. Feel free to start listing your Qs here. I want to 
avoid "What's  WorkingMemory" type questions, but other than that, 
anything is game. Also if anyone has anything cool they would like to 
discuss about how they have used Drools, or just general interesting AI 
ideas, then that's fine too - happy for this just to turn into a fun 
geek chat too.

Mark
