I found the problem. There was a duplicate rule name in another decision table.
When multiple decision tables or drl files are used, unique rule names must be specified because default rule names are likely generate duplicate names. Whenever a duplicate rule name occurs, the latter replaces the former. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wicks, J Matthew Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 4:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [rules-users] Expected rule not firing. I am building my app's rules from decision tables using Drools 4.0.7. At one point, I expect a particular rule to fire but it never does. The rule originally was constrained to the presence of a POJO to store the results of the rule's evaluation that is as yet not evaluated and a POJO that containing the data to be evaluated. While trying to diagnose why it never fires, I have reduced the constraints to the presence of the POJO results container. It still doesn't fire. Excerpts from the initialization and evaluation decision tables (compiled to DRL): # Construct DecisionPoint container to hold results of evaluation #From row number: 53 rule "Init Plus 5V PS Overtemp" salience 65484 no-loop true ruleflow-group "Initialize Testpoint Groups" when then subtestName = "Fault Sum"; ruleName = "Plus 5V PS Overtemp"; serviceProvider.create("DecisionPoint",ruleName); dsl.addDebugString("row called " + "IN_52"); end # Record that +5V PS Overtemp condition exists in DecisionPoint object #From row number: 26 rule "Plus 5V PS Overtemp Set" salience 65510 no-loop true ruleflow-group "PS Overtemp" when outputDecision: DecisionPoint(name == "Plus 5V PS Overtemp") then subtestName = "Fault Sum"; ruleName = "Plus 5V PS Overtemp"; ID = "PASSED"; modifyRetract(outputDecision); outputDecision.setEvaluation(ruleName, ID); modifyInsert(outputDecision); dsl.addDebugString("row called " + "DE_26"); end Enabling listeners for working memory updates and ruleflow transitions, I see that the container is built and added to memory but is not found when the PS Overtemp ruleflow group is activated.
