Hi Edson,
Thanks!
Your second solution works well!
Here is an exception:
when declaring workingMemory Logger:
WorkingMemoryFileLogger logger = new WorkingMemoryFileLogger(
workingMemory);
logger.setFileName("log/"+this.getName());
The rule will throw Exception:
at org.drools.base.<package>Student$getReadTimes.getValue(Unknown Source)
at org.drools.base.ClassFieldExtractor.getValue(ClassFieldExtractor.java
:79)
at org.drools.rule.Declaration.getValue(Declaration.java:156)
at org.drools.audit.WorkingMemoryLogger.extractDeclarations(
WorkingMemoryLogger.java:227)
at org.drools.audit.WorkingMemoryLogger.beforeActivationFired(
WorkingMemoryLogger.java:188)
at org.drools.event.AgendaEventSupport.fireBeforeActivationFired(
AgendaEventSupport.java:98)
at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:429)
at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(DefaultAgenda.java:411)
at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(
AbstractWorkingMemory.java:350)
at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(
AbstractWorkingMemory.java:333)
I don't if it a defect of logging since here Student.getReadTimes() will
return a Integer.
Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
best regards

Weily,
Rules are usually seen as a disjunction of conjunctions. So, your
example would require 3 rules, one for each attribute that may be null.
As a syntax sugar, there exists the OR operator, so you can write a
single rule (but internally it will continue to be 3 rules:
$s : ( Student( $startDate : startDate ->(...), examDate == null)) ||
Student( $startDate : startDate ->(...), reExamDate == null)) ||
Student( $startDate : startDate ->(...), dailyHours == null)))
Why am I emphasysing that this is just syntax sugar? Because in the
above example, if more than one of your attributes is null, the rule
will fire multiple times (once for each null attribute) as there are in
fact 3 rules internally, one for each logical branch. Also, it will
affect your variables binding. Please note that I didn't bound the null
attribute as it would be different in each logical branch. So, be
carefull that top level OR's behavior may cause surprise for those not
used to it in rules engines.
BTW, this is not a JBRules characteristic. Rete Rules engines in
general behave like that.
So, if the above matches your needed behavior, thats ok. Otherwise,
using JBRules 3.0.x you will need to use eval:
$s: Student( $startDate : startDate ->(...),
$ed : examDate,
$rd: reExamDate,
$dh: dailyHours)
eval( ($ed == null ) || ( $rd == null ) || ($dh == null ) )
I think the above is what you are trying to achieve. In 3.1, the
difference is that you will be able to put that "eval" inside the
pattern (without the eval keyword). But the effect is the same... it is
just a bit more optimized:
$s: Student( $startDate : startDate ->(...),
$ed : examDate,
$rd: reExamDate,
$dh: dailyHours,
( ($ed == null ) || ( $rd == null ) || ($dh == null ) )
)
Hope it helps.
