Overview of this book

Mastering JBoss Drools 6 will provide you with the knowledge to develop applications involving complex scenarios. You will learn how to use KIE modules to create and execute Business Rules, and how the PHREAK algorithm internally works to drive the Rule Engine decisions. This book will also cover the relationship between Drools and jBPM, which allows you to enrich your applications by using Business Processes. You will be briefly introduced to the concept of complex event processing (Drools CEP) where you will learn how to aggregate and correlate your data based on temporal conditions. You will also learn how to define rules using domain-specific languages, such as spreadsheets, database entries, PMML, and more. Towards the end, this book will take you through the integration of Drools with the Spring and Camel frameworks for more complex applications.

Special Drools operations


We've seen, so far, the simplest cases to check attribute values against the boolean expressions in our rules. We've also discussed all the different ways in which rules can manage data updates, which might retrigger checking our rules. However, the power of rules doesn't stop there as there are many different ways in which the rule conditions can be written, which will allow us to create rules that are both powerful and simple to understand.

Drools already provides a set of operations that you can use to compare different objects against each other. These objects might be living directly on the working memory, global variables, literal values, or any combination of these types. We're going to enumerate the most used ones in the following sections, splitting them into the following:

  • Boolean and numeric operations

  • Collection-based operations

  • Regex operations

  • Custom operations

Boolean and numeric operations

We've seen some examples of these operations in our previous rules...
