RE: [rules-users] Why double rule activation?

[Bagwell, Allen F]

OK, I feel REALLY stupid.

I was adding my compiled rules package to the RuleBase TWICE.

Doh!

Sorry if I took up anyone's valuable time. I wasted almost two days before I 
figured this out.

My test was ran with 4.0.5, but Eclipse plug-in 4.0.3 - part of my lazy upgrade 
process ;-)

I will re-run with the latest Eclipse plug-in and see if the Audit View is 
correct (in 4.0.3 it shows 3 inserts, 3 activations and 3 executions).

Can you run my test and confirm you get what's expected?

I appreciate the effort.

The problem isn't in the logger. It's just standing in for System.out so that I 
can reference a file for output (it's an extension of log4j).

The actual Drools audit view is reporting double activation and execution on 
insert and update of the objects.

I'm using a loop to insert my objects into Drools, and I thought at first 
perhaps I was inserting them more than once. But I don't see that happening.
In any event wouldn't the audit log tell me if I was doing that?

I have tried to re-produce using "System.out.println" instead of IELogger and I 
don't get any double activations :-(

Could the problem be elsewhere (e.g. IELogger?).


package com.sample

import com.sample.MyVariable;

rule "Light is off"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue == 0.0)
        then
                System.out.println("DimmerSwitch1 has no brightness value"); end

rule "Light Below 50%"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue < 0.50, currentValue > 0.0)
        then
                System.out.println("DimmerSwitch1 is below 50% brightness"); end

rule "Light 50% or Above"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue >= 0.5)
        then
                System.out.println("DimmerSwitch1 is at or above 50% 
brightness"); End

    public static final void main(String[] args) {

        WorkingMemoryFileLogger logger = null;

        try {

            RuleBase ruleBase = readRule();
            WorkingMemory workingMemory = ruleBase.newStatefulSession();
            logger = new WorkingMemoryFileLogger(workingMemory);
            logger.setFileName("events.log");

            MyVariable v1 = new MyVariable("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 0.0d);
            MyVariable v2 = new MyVariable("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 0.4d);
            MyVariable v3 = new MyVariable("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 0.6d);
            workingMemory.insert(v1);
            workingMemory.insert(v2);
            workingMemory.insert(v3);
            workingMemory.fireAllRules();

        } catch (Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (logger != null) {
                logger.writeToDisk();
            }
        }
    }

Subject: [rules-users] Why double rule activation?

I've encountered rule engine behavior I'm knocking my head against the wall 
trying to figure out.  I'm a Drools newbie, so please forgive if this I am 
doing something bone-headed wrong.

Basically I'm inserting an object into my working memory.  The object itself 
has a default setting of 0.0 for a brightness value, and this setting matches 
the LHS condition for my first rule.  The problem is the rule activates twice 
for a single object insertion as described in the audit log.
It consequently executes twice when I fire all rules. Then whenever I change 
the value in question, any single update to the same object also causes double 
rule activation and execution.

The rules I've written are not complex. Here's my drl file:

package dimmerie;

#list any import classes here.

import knowledgebase.*;
import NipcLogger;

#declare any global variables here

global NipcLogger IELogger;

rule "Light is off"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue == 0.0)
        then
                IELogger.info("DimmerSwitch1 has no brightness value"); end

rule "Light Below 50%"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue < 0.50, currentValue > 0.0)
        then
                IELogger.info("DimmerSwitch1 is below 50% brightness"); end

rule "Light 50% or Above"
        when
                $brightness : MyVariable(uniqueName == "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
currentValue >= 0.5)
        then
                IELogger.info("DimmerSwitch1 is at or above 50% brightness"); 
end

I'm hoping I've described enough without having to post additional code.
Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

Thanks,
Allen
