Yang,
If you want to evaluate the remaining rules in the transaction you will need to catch and handle your errors rather than throw them to the engine. This is consistent with other products, such as ILog JRules. If you are catching and handling your own errors, you can always grab the rule number and exception and add them to your reply. ____________________________________________________ Barry Knapp [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919.651.5039 MSN Messenger [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yang Song Sent: Friday, August 24, 2007 11:16 AM To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] How to catch Exceptions when firing rules Thanks a lot for the answer, Mark. But I don't think it makes sense. Because in some scenarios, you cannot guarantee the consequence part of rule is 100% correct -- there could be errors happening in run-time which are hard to predict, especially when a complex action or logic will be executed as the concequece. There should at least be some mechanisms to tell whoever fires the rule that there is something wrong during the rule firing process, then and he can do something, e.g. create a new session. Also it should enable the rule firer to catch these exceptions and do the clean up work silently -- instead of leaving these things on the stderr even cannot be seen in the logs. This will make the program depending on the JBoss Rules to be more robust. What do you think? If JBoss Rules already has the ability to do this job, can you please let me know? Thanks again, Yang On 8/24/07, Mark Proctor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Once an exception is thrown on a conseuqence the current session is considered invalid. You'll need to add the try catch inside of the actual consequence. Mark Yang Song wrote: Hi, Anyone knows how to catch the exception when firing the rules? I wrapped the session.fireAllRules() method using try...catch, however it doesn't work: when someone wrote bad code in the rule's action part, the Exception will be thrown and printed to the stderr, and this will make the rule engine stop working -- the try...catch outside doesn't help anything. If the exception thrown from the rule's action part can be caught externally, the system can be protected from interrupting Exception. try { _log.debug("Firing rules in : " + getName()); session.fireAllRules(); } catch (Exception e) { _log.info("Error when firing rules: ", e); } Thanks, Yang ________________________________ _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
