[rules-users] Retrieving Enumerated List from Drools
Hi, We have a custom CMS which we use to manage content like banner images, and other personalization content. We would be using Drools to define user segments and would be associating a unique code and short name to it - code for the system and short name for the business users. Now, is there a way for our custom CMS to be able to retrieve the enumerated list (basically all possible values of that data element) such that it can be used for mapping content in the CMS? Any tip would be helpful.

Please understand that you are reporting from a domain that *you* know well using terms that are familiar to *you*. It's not clear to me what sort of objects you would insert; which values participate in what operation; and why you need rules in the first place. -W On 5 July 2011 10:46, lansyj lans...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, We have a custom CMS which we use to manage content like banner images, and other personalization content.

Hi, Can you explain how you'd use ...Drools to define user segments and would be associating a unique code and short name to it... so we can understand how you expect to be ...able to retrieve the enumerated list?

Re: [rules-users] Retrieving Enumerated List from Drools
Hi, Sorry for the minimal information. We have a B2C application which is basically into eCommerce. You can consider it another amazon or ebay. And one thing we do today in a very crude way is personalize the appearance and content (ie., products, pricing of products, banner images, etc) based on the user profile. For example, on Valentine's day if the user is a male, he gets to see gifts for a female and vice versa. So, as part of a Solution revamp, we have decided to use Drools to manage product visibility by having a rule which says... if the user is male, dont show this but show that as a basic example. Now, there are certain functionalities we have as core in our Content Management System (like a custom Joomla or Drupal) which we wouldnt want to migrate entirely to Drools. So, we would define the segments in Drools and map such segments to the existing entities. eg: Segment can be Male vs Female with Segment Codes SEG_MALE and SEG_FEMALE as an example where SEG_MALE and SEG_FEMALE are two possible values in an enumerated list. Now, this being the situation, we want to be able to retrieve this list of enumerated values into our CMS so that we can map them to existing entities like banner images. Hope this helps.

Re: [rules-users] Retrieving Enumerated List from Drools
OK, I'd see your use as something like this:- 1. Define the rules (you give an example of) 2. At runtime insert appropriate facts into a KnowledgeSession 3. The rules return some indicator of the appropriate customisation required If this makes sense, you should probably read about using Globals (to return a list of customisations out of WM) or StatelessSessions (which sounds more appropriate, for scalability).

Sounds as if my wife would like me to shop there ;-) So, as part of a Solution revamp, we have decided to use Drools to manage product visibility by having a rule which says... if the user is male, dont show this but show that as a basic example.

Could be Java enum values or just String values, I suppose. Now, this being the situation, we want to be able to retrieve this list Let's call it Collection of enumerated values into our CMS so that we can map them to existing entities like banner images. There are several ways of extracting all values of a field of the full set of facts of a given type. You can do it in a rule, creating a List or a Set. Or you can run a query. There is nothing mysterious about the Working Memory of Drools. It's a bunch of objects and rules and queries operate on them according to your fancy programming. Hope this helps. And I hope to have allayed your fears ;-) -W Best Regards -lj -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Retrieving-Enumerated-List-from-Drools-tp3140076p3140125.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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
