6.2. How To Use - JBoss RULES 3.0.6 manual 英文版使用指南文档

The RuleServiceProviderManager manages the registration and retrieval of RuleServiceProviders. The Drools RuleServiceProvider implementation is automatically registered via a static block when the class is loaded using Class.forName; in much the same way as JDBC drivers.

// RuleServiceProviderImpl is registered to "http://drools.org/" via a static initialization block
Class.forName("org.drools.jsr94.rules.RuleServiceProviderImpl");

// Get the rule service provider from the provider manager.
RuleServiceProvider ruleServiceProvider = RuleServiceProviderManager.getRuleServiceProvider("http://drools.org/");

The RuleServiceProvider provides access to the RuleRuntime and RuleAdministration APIs. The RuleAdministration provides an administration API for the management of RuleExecutionSets, making it possible to register a RuleExecutionSet that can then be retrieved via the RuleRuntime.

First you need to create a RuleExecutionSet before it can be registered; RuleAdministrator provides factory methods to return an empty LocalRuleExecutionSetProvider or RuleExecutionSetProvider. The LocalRuleExecutionSetProvider should be used to load a RuleExecutionSets from local sources that are not serializable, like Streams. The RuleExecutionSetProvider can be used to load RuleExecutionSets from serializable sources, like DOM Elements or Packages. Both the "ruleAdministrator.getLocalRuleExecutionSetProvider( null );" and the "ruleAdministrator.getRuleExecutionSetProvider( null );" take null as a parameter, as the properties map for these methods is not currently used.

// Get the RuleAdministration 
RuleAdministration ruleAdministrator = ruleServiceProvider.getRuleAdministrator();
LocalRuleExecutionSetProvider ruleExecutionSetProvider = ruleAdministrator.getLocalRuleExecutionSetProvider( null );

// Create a Reader for the drl
URL drlUrl = new URL("http://mydomain.org/sources/myrules.drl");
Reader drlReader = new InputStreamReader(  drlUrl.openStream()  );

// Create the RuleExecutionSet for the drl
RuleExecutionSet ruleExecutionSet = ruleExecutionSetProvider.createRuleExecutionSet( drlReader, null );

"ruleExecutionSetProvider.createRuleExecutionSet( reader, null )" in the above example takes a null parameter for the propties map; however it can actually be used to provide configuration for the incoming source. When null is passed the default is used to load the input as a drl. Allowed keys for a map are "source" and "dsl". "source" takes "drl" or "xml" as its value; set "source" to "drl" to load a drl or to "xml" to load an xml source; xml will ignore any "dsl" key/value settings. The "dsl" key can take a Reader or a String (the contents of the dsl) as a value.

// Get the RuleAdministration 
RuleAdministration ruleAdministrator = ruleServiceProvider.getRuleAdministrator();
LocalRuleExecutionSetProvider ruleExecutionSetProvider = ruleAdministrator.getLocalRuleExecutionSetProvider( null );

// Create a Reader for the drl
URL drlUrl = new URL("http://mydomain.org/sources/myrules.drl");
Reader drlReader = new InputStreamReader(  drlUrl.openStream()  );

// Create a Reader for the dsl and a put in the properties map
URL dslUrl = new URL("http://mydomain.org/sources/myrules.dsl");
Reader dslReader = new InputStreamReader( dslUrl.openStream()  );
Map properties = new HashMap();
properties.put( "source", "drl" );
properties.put( "dsl", dslReader );

// Create the RuleExecutionSet for the drl and dsl
RuleExecutionSet ruleExecutionSet = ruleExecutionSetProvider.createRuleExecutionSet( reader, properties );

When registering a RuleExecutionSet you must specify the name, to be used for its retrieval. There is also a field to pass properties, this is currently unused so just pass null.

// Register the RuleExecutionSet with the RuleAdministrator
String uri = ruleExectionSet.getName();
ruleAdministrator.registerRuleExecutionSet(uri, ruleExecutionSet, null);

The Runtime, obtained from the RuleServiceProvider, is used to create stateful and stateless rule engine sessions.

RuleRuntime ruleRuntime = ruleServiceProvider.getRuleRuntime();

To create a rule session you must use one of the two RuleRuntime public constants - "RuleRuntime.STATEFUL_SESSION_TYPE" and "RuleRuntime.STATELESS_SESSION_TYPE" along with the uri to the RuleExecutionSet you wish to instantiate a RuleSession for. The properties map can be null, or it can be used to specify globals, as shown in the next section. The createRuleSession(....) method returns a RuleSession instance which must then be cast to StatefulRuleSession or StatelessRuleSession.

(StatefulRuleSession) session = ruleRuntime.createRuleSession( uri,
                                                               null,
                                                               RuleRuntime.STATEFUL_SESSION_TYPE );
session.addObject( new PurchaseOrder( "lots of cheese" ) );
session.executeRules();

The StatelessRuleSession has a very simple API; you can only call executeRules(List list) passing a list of objects, and an optional filter, the resulting objects are then returned.

(StatelessRuleSession) session = ruleRuntime.createRuleSession( uri,
                                                                null,
                                                                RuleRuntime.STATELESS_SESSION_TYPE );
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add( new PurchaseOrder( "even more cheese" ) );

List results = new ArrayList();
results = session.executeRules( list );

java.util.List globalList = new java.util.ArrayList( );
java.util.Map map = new java.util.HashMap( );
map.put( "list", globalList ); 
//Open a stateless Session StatelessRuleSession srs = (StatelessRuleSession) runtime.createRuleSession( "SistersRules", map, RuleRuntime.STATELESS_SESSION_TYPE );
...
// Persons added to List
// call executeRules( ) giving a List of Objects as parameter
// There are rules which will put Objects in the List
// fetch the list from the map
List list = (java.util.List) map.get("list");

package SistersRules; 
import org.drools.jsr94.rules.Person; 
global java.util.List list
rule FindSisters 
when 
$person1 : Person ( $name1:name ) 
$person2 : Person ( $name2:name ) 
eval( $person1.hasSister($person2) ) 
then 
list.add($person1.getName() + " and " + $person2.getName() +" are sisters"); 
assert( $person1.getName() + " and " + $person2.getName() +" are sisters"); 
end
