Hi,
I have recently started using drools and I am having some issues.
I have two classes Rule1 and Rule2 which extends the class Rule. (I am not
using drl files. Lets just say we cannot use drl files).
I set the salience for Rule1 as 10 and Rule2 as 20 in the constructor of
these classes.
When I fire all rules Rule1 is getting triggered first. Here is the snippet
of my testcase :
RuleSet ruleSet = new RuleSet( "Testing Salience feature" );
Rule1 rule1 = new Rule1();
Rule2 rule2 = new Rule2();
ruleSet.addRule(rule1);
ruleSet.addRule(rule2);
RuleBaseBuilder builder = new RuleBaseBuilder( );
builder.addRuleSet( ruleSet );
RuleBase ruleBase = builder.build( );
WorkingMemory workingMemory = ruleBase.newWorkingMemory( );
workingMemory.assertObject( new SomeObject());
workingMemory.fireAllRules( );
However if I interchange adding rules to the rule set as follows then Rule2
is fired first.
ruleSet.addRule(rule2);
ruleSet.addRule(rule1);
that is, the load order is dictating the firing. I tried all combinations
and rules are getting triggered on how I add them to rule base.
I thought it has something to do with the conflict resolver and added the
following code with no success.
builder.setConflictResolver(SalienceConflictResolver.getInstance());
I tried this on drools 2.1 as well as 2.5-final with the same results.
How can I make sure that the rules are triggered depending on their salience
value and not the load order ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
