Good job Tihomir!
We added a couple of new features to the seam-drools integration:
1. Support for Decision Tables (JBSEAM-4188):
<drools:rule-base name="ruleBase" rule-files="myDecisionTable.xls"/>
You can now compile rules from your Decision Table (xls) when using the drools:rule-base component in components.xml
2. Support for Drools Custom Consequence Exception Handlers (JBSEAM-4049):
<drools:rule-base name="ruleBase" rule-files="myDecisionTable.xls" consequence-exception-handler="#{myConsequenceExceptionHandler}"/>
You can use the new consequence-exception-handler attribute to add a new exception handler. This exception handler can be a Seam component and can look like:
Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
@Name("myConsequenceExceptionHandler")
public class MyConsequenceExceptionHandler implements ConsequenceExceptionHandler, Externalizable {
public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
}
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
}
public void handleException(Activation activation,
WorkingMemory workingMemory,
Exception exception) {
throw new ConsequenceException( exception,
activation.getRule() );
}
}
3. Support for Drools Event Listeners (JBSEAM-4225):
<drools:managed-working-memory name="workingMemory" rule-base="#{ruleBase}">
<drools:event-listeners>
<value>org.drools.event.DebugWorkingMemoryEventListener</value>
<value>org.drools.event.DebugAgendaEventListener</value>
</drools:event-listeners>
</drools:managed-working-memory>
This allows you to be notified of rule engine events, including rules firing, objects being asserted, etc by simply adding the drools:event-listeners element to your managed-working-memory component in components.xml as shown in the example
These updates will be available in Seam 2.2.0.CR1. We are also working on adding RuleFlow support in the near future.
