During my rules execution, I will be "inserting" new fact object in memory that I will need to read when the rules are done firing. How can I read those facts when outside the Rules Session?
I have tried to insert the fact with an outIdentifier, from outside the session (i.e. before the "fireAllRules()" method). However, because I may not know how many AccountingPeriod fact may get inserted during the rule session, or even if it will get inserted, this method does not seem suitable.
Accounting Period Fact:
package sample.package;
public class AccountingPeriod {
private LocalDate accountingDate;
private int personKey;
public AccountingPeriod(LocalDate accountingDate, int personKey) {
this.accountingDate = accountingDate;
this.personKey = personKey;
}
public LocalDate getAccountingDate() { return accountingDate; }
public LocalDate getPersonKey() { return personKey; }
}
Execution Code :
sample.package;
public static void main(String args[]) {
StatelessKieSession ksession = [initialized KieSession]
ksession.execute(Arrays.asList(Facts[]));
[Code here to get the AccountingPeriod fact inserted in the rule session]
}
myRules.drl
rule
when [some condition]
then
insert (new AccountingPeriod(LocalDate.of(year, month, day), 100));
end
I just found a way to get the facts from a stateless KieSession.
sample.package;
public static void main(String args[]) {
StatelessKieSession ksession = [initialized KieSession]
List<Command> cmds = new ArrayList<>();
cmds.add([all required commands]);
cmds.add(CommandFactory.newFireAllRules());
cmds.add(CommandFactory.newGetObjects("facts"));
ExecutionResults rulesResults = kSession.execute(CommandFactory.newBatchExecution(cmds));
Collection<Object> results = (Collection<Object>) rulesResults.getValue("facts");
}
It turns out that by linking a command to an OutIdentifier ("facts"
, in this case) we can get its return value by using the getValue(outIdentifier)
of the KieSession results.
