Hello all,
I've been reading up about drool-spring integration and have put together a
simple project that wires together a KnowledgeBase and KnowledgeSession as
follows :
<drools:resource id="GroupUnit" type="DRL"
source="file:/Users/drools/drools-spring-test/src/Rules/drls/GroupUnit.drl" />
<drools:resource id="GradeUnit" type="DRL"
source="file:/Users/drools/drools-spring-test/src/Rules/drls/GradeUnit.drl"" />
<drools:resource id="EvaluateUnit" type="DRL"
source="file:/Users/drools/drools-spring-test/src/Rules/drls/EvaluateUnit.drl""
/>
<drools:grid-node id="node1" />
<drools:kbase id="kbase1" node="node1">
<drools:resources>
<drools:resource ref="GroupUnit" />
<drools:resource ref="GradeUnit" />
<drools:resource ref="EvaluateUnit" />
</drools:resources>
</drools:kbase>
<drools:ksession id="ksession" type="stateful" kbase="kbase1"
node="node1" />
Then in my Controller call, I 'AutoWire' in the StatefulKnowledgeSession as
follows :
@Controller
@RequestMapping( value = "foo" )
final class FooController{
@Autowired
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession;
@RequestMapping( method = RequestMethod.GET )
@ResponseBody
public String evaluateUnit() {
Unit unit = new Unit("030", "502", "C", "9484", "45", new String[] {},
null);
if (ksession != null) {
ksession.fireAllRules();
ksession.insert(unit);
ksession.fireAllRules();
return "<UnitCategory>" + unit.getUnitCategory() + "</UnitCategory>";
}
else
return "<message> stateful session is null</message>";
}
The main question that I have is that – is this solution thread-safe ? From
what I understand of spring is that beans configured without any additional
qualifiers are inherently singletons. And when deployed in a multi-theaded
container like tomcat, Spring assumes that the beans being severed up a
thread-safe. So from I have read is that KnowledeSessions are inherently not
thread safe. So putting the 2 together, I leaning towards the assessment that
this above solution is NOT thread safe and that if I do want it to be thread
safe I should set the StatefulKnowledgeSession to 'prototype' and not leave it
as a singleton.
Please let me know if I'm missing anything in my assessment here !
Thanks in advance,
Gurvinder
