1.1. Camel

Camel provides a light weight bus framework for geting information into and out of Drools.

Drools introduces two elements to make easy integration.

Drools can be configured like any norma camel component, but notice the policy that wraps the drools related segments. This will route all payloads to ksession1

Example 1.1. Drools EndPoint configured with the CXFRS producer


<bean id="droolsPolicy" class="org.drools.camel.component.DroolsPolicy" />



<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">  

   <route>

      <from uri="cxfrs://bean://rsServer"/>

         <policy ref="droolsPolicy">

            <unmarshal ref="xstream" />       

            <to uri="drools:node1/ksession1" />

            <marshal ref="xstream" />

       </policy>

    </route>

It is possible to not specify the session in the drools endpoint uri, and instead "multiplex" based on an attribute or header. In this example the policy will check either the header field "DroolsLookup" for the named session to execute and if that isn't specified it'll check the "lookup" attribute on the incoming payload. It then attempts to "lookup" the session fron the execution-node context and execute against it.

Example 1.2. Drools EndPoint configured with the CXFRS producer


<bean id="droolsPolicy" class="org.drools.camel.component.DroolsPolicy" />



<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">  

   <route>

      <from uri="cxfrs://bean://rsServer"/>

         <policy ref="droolsPolicy">

            <unmarshal ref="xstream" />       

            <to uri="drools:node1" />

            <marshal ref="xstream" />

       </policy>

    </route>

Example 1.3. Java Code to execute against Route from a Spring and Camel Context

public class MyTest extends CamelSpringTestSupport {
    
    @Override
    protected AbstractXmlApplicationContext createApplicationContext() {        
        return new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("org/drools/camel/component/CxfRsSpring.xml");
    }  

    public void test1() throws Exception {
        String cmd = "";
        cmd += "<batch-execution lookup=\"ksession1\">\n";
        cmd += "  <insert out-identifier=\"salaboy\">\n";
        cmd += "      <org.drools.pipeline.camel.Person>\n";
        cmd += "         <name>salaboy</name>\n";
        cmd += "      </org.drools.pipeline.camel.Person>\n";
        cmd += "   </insert>\n";
        cmd += "   <fire-all-rules/>\n";
        cmd += "</batch-execution>\n";
                
        Object object = this.context.createProducerTemplate().requestBody("direct://client", cmd);
        System.out.println( object ); 
    }

3.1. Introduction
3.2. Deployment
3.3. Configuration
3.3.1. REST/Camel Services configuration

The drools execution server (drools-server) module is a war which you can deploy to execute KnowledgeBases remotely for any sort of client application. This is not limited to JVM application clients, but any technology that can use HTTP, through a REST interface. This version of the execution server supports stateless and statefull sessions in a native way.

Drools Server is a war file, which can be deployed in a application server (such as JBoss AS). As the service is stateless, it is possible to have have as many of these services deployed as you need to serve the client load. Deploy on JBoss AS 4.x / Tomcat 6.x works out-of-the-box, instead some external dependencies must be added and the configuration must be changed to be deployed in JBoss AS 5

Inside the war file you will find a few XML configuration files.

The next step is configure the services that are going to be exposed through drools-server. You can modify this configuration in camel-server.xml file.

In the next xml snippet code we are creating a RESTful (JAX-RS) endpoint binded to /kservice/rest address and using org.drools.jax.rs.CommandExecutorImpl as the service implementor. This class is only used to instantiate the service endpoint because all the internal implementation is managed by Camel, and you can see in the source file that the exposed execute service must be never called.

Also a JAX-RS Provider is provided to determine if the message transported can be processed in this service endpoint.


<cxf:rsServer id="rsServer"

               address="/kservice/rest"

               serviceClass="org.drools.jax.rs.CommandExecutorImpl">

  <cxf:providers>

    <bean class="org.drools.jax.rs.CommandMessageBodyReader"/>

  </cxf:providers>

</cxf:rsServer>

Ideally this configuration doesn’t need to be modified, at least the Service Class and the JAX-RS Provider, but you can add more endpoints associated to different addresses to use them in anothers Camel Routes.

After all this initial configuration, you can start config your own Knowledge Services.

DroolsPolicy is used to add Drools support in Camel, basically what it does is to add interceptors into the camel route to create Camel Processors on the fly and modify the internal navigation route. If you want to have SOAP support you need to create your custom Drools Policy, but it's going to be added in the next release.

But you don’t need to know more internal details, only instantiate this bean:


<bean id="droolsPolicy" class="org.drools.camel.component.DroolsPolicy" />

The next is create the camel route that will have the responsibility to execute the commands sent through JAX-RS. Basically we create a route definition associated with the JAX-RS definition as the data input, the camel policy to be used and inside the “execution route” or ProcessorDefinitions. As you can see, we set XStream as the marshaller/unmarshaller and the drools execution route definition


<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

  <route>

    <from uri="cxfrs://bean://rsServer"/>

    <policy ref="droolsPolicy">

      <unmarshal ref="xstream" />

      <to uri="drools:node1/ksession1" />

      <marshal ref="xstream" />

    </policy>

  </route>

</camelContext>

The drools endpoint creation has the next arguments

<!-- XML : generated by JHighlight v1.0 (http://jhighlight.dev.java.net) -->
<span class="xml_tag_symbols">&lt;</span><span class="xml_tag_name">to</span><span class="xml_plain">&nbsp;</span><span class="xml_attribute_name">uri</span><span class="xml_tag_symbols">=</span><span class="xml_attribute_value">&quot;drools:{1}/{2}&quot;</span><span class="xml_plain">&nbsp;</span><span class="xml_tag_symbols">/&gt;</span><span class="xml_plain"></span><br />

  1. Execution Node identifier that is registered in the CamelContext

  2. Knowledge Session identifier that was registered in the Execution Node with identifier {1}

Both parameters are configured in knowledge-services.xml file.

The next step is create the Knowledge Sessions that you are going to use.


<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring"

       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd

                           http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring.xsd">



   <drools:execution-node id="node1" />



   <drools:kbase id="kbase1" node="node1">

      <drools:resources>

         <drools:resource  type="XSD" source="classpath:model.xsd"/>

         <drools:resource  type="DRL" source="classpath:test.drl"/>

      </drools:resources>

   </drools:kbase>



   <drools:ksession id="ksession1" type="stateless" kbase="kbase1" node="node1"/>

</beans>

The execution-node is a context or registered kbases and ksessions, here kbase1 and ksession1 are planed in the node1 context. The kbase itself concists of tow knoeldge defiitions, a drl and an xsd. The Spring documentaiton contains a lot more information on configuring these knowledge services.

With drools-server war unzipped you should be able to see a test.jsp and run it. This example just executes a simple "echo" type application. It sends a message to the rule server that pre-appends the word "echo" to the front and sends it back. By default the message is "Hello World", different messages can be passed using the url parameter msg - test.jsp?msg="My Custom Message".

Under the hood the jsp invokes the Test.java class, this then calls out to Camel which is where the meet happens. The camel-client.xml defines the client with just a few lines of xml:


<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

   <route>

      <from uri="direct://kservice"/>

      <policy ref="droolsPolicy">

         <to uri="cxfrs://http://localhost:8080/drools-server-app/kservice/rest"/>

      </policy>

   </route>         

 </camelContext>

"direct://kservice" is just a named hook, allowing java to grab a reference and push data into it. In this example the data is already in xml, so we don't need to add any DataFormat's to do the marshalling. The DroolsPolicy adds some smarts to the route and you'll see it used on the server side too. If JAXB or XStream were used, it would inject custom paths and converters, it can also set the classloader too on the server side, on the client side it automatically unwrapes the Response object.

The rule itself can be found here: test.drl. Notice the type Message is declared part of the drl and is thus not present on the Classpath.

declare Message
   text : String
end
    
  
rule "echo" dialect "mvel"
when
   $m : Message();
then
   $m.text = "echo:" + $m.text;
end

XML marshalling/unmarshalling of the Drools Commands requires the use of special classes, which are going to be described in the following sections.

The following urls show sample script examples for jaxb, xstream and json marshalling using:

To use the XStream commands marshaller you need to use the DroolsHelperProvider to obtain an XStream instance. We need to use this because it has the commands converters registered.

JSON API to marshalling/unmarshalling is similar to XStream API:

There are two options for using JAXB, you can define your model in an XSD file or you can have a POJO model. In both cases you have to declare your model inside JAXBContext, and in order to do that you need to use Drools Helper classes. Once you have the JAXBContext you need to create the Unmarshaller/Marshaller as needed.

With your model defined in a XSD file you need to have a KnowledgeBase that has your XSD model added as a resource.

To do this, the XSD file must be added as a XSD ResourceType into the KnowledgeBuilder. Finally you can create the JAXBContext using the KnowledgeBase created with the KnowledgeBuilder



Options xjcOpts = new Options();

xjcOpts.setSchemaLanguage(Language.XMLSCHEMA);

JaxbConfiguration jaxbConfiguration = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newJaxbConfiguration( xjcOpts, "xsd" );

kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("person.xsd", getClass()), ResourceType.XSD, jaxbConfiguration);

KnowledgeBase kbase = kbuilder.newKnowledgeBase();


List<String> classesName = new ArrayList<String>();

classesName.add("org.drools.test.Person");

   

JAXBContext jaxbContext = KnowledgeBuilderHelper.newJAXBContext(classesName.toArray(new String[classesName.size()]), kbase);

In this case you need to use DroolsJaxbContextHelper to create the JAXBContext. This class has two parameters:

  1. classNames: A List with the canonical name of the classes that you want to use in the marshalling/unmarshalling process.

  2. properties: JAXB custom properties

List<String> classNames = new ArrayList<String>();

classNames.add("org.drools.test.Person");

JAXBContext jaxbContext = DroolsJaxbContextHelper.createDroolsJaxbContext(classNames, null);

Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();

Currently, the following commands are supported:

Note

In the next snippets code we are going to use a POJO org.drools.test.Person that has two fields

Note

In the next examples, to marshall the commands we have used the nexts snippet codes:

OSGi is a dynamic module system for declarative services. So what does that mean? Each jar in OSGi is called a bundle and has it's own Classloader. Each bundle specifies the packages it exports (makes publicly available) and which packages it imports (external dependencies). OSGi will use this information to wire the classloaders of different bundles together; the key distinction is you don't specify what bundle you depend on, or have a single monolithic classpath, instead you specify your package import and version and OSGi attempts to satisfy this from available bundles.

It also supports side by side versioning, so you can have multiple versions of a bundle installed and it'll wire up the correct one. Further to this Bundles can register services for other bundles to use. These services need initialisation, which can cause ordering problems - how do you make sure you don't consume a service before its registered? OSGi has a number of features to help with service composition and ordering. The two main ones are the programmatic ServiceTracker and the xml based Declarative Services. There are also other projects that help with this; Spring DM, iPOJO, Gravity.

Each of the Drools factories is now also available as a FactoryService interface. You can either have OSGi inject those into a pojo, or retrieve them yourself from OSGi.

The following modules should work with OSGi;

The following Services can be located as OSGi Bundles

I'll cover injection here. The below example injects the KnowledgeBuilderFacotryService, KnowledgeBaseFactoryService and ResourecFactoryService into the TestComponent pojo.

Example 5.1. Osgi Declarative Services


<scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0">

<implementation class="testosgi.TestComponent"/>

 

<reference bind="setKnowledgeBaseFactoryService"

           unbind="unsetKnowledgeBaseFactoryService"

           interface="org.drools.KnowledgeBaseFactoryService"

           />

          

<reference bind="setResourceFactoryService"

           unbind="unsetResourceFactoryService"

           interface="org.drools.io.ResourceFactoryService"

           />          

          

<reference bind="setKnowledgeBuilderFactoryService"

           unbind="unsetKnowledgeBuilderFactoryService"

           interface="org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilderFactoryService"

           target="(org.drools.compiler.DecisionTableProvider=true)"  />          

</scr:component>

The TestComponent will only be activated when all of the referenced services are available and injected into the pojo. You'll also notice the "target" attribute for the KnowledgeBuilderFactoryService. The reason for this is that OSGi DS has no built in way to declaratively say which optional services must be present to satisfy your component. As a work around I made any Drools service that has optional services set a property if/when the optional service is available. Filters can then be applied, via the target attribute, to make sure the Service is in a desired state before consuming it. And that is pretty much it :)
