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.

What is complex event processing?

The main focus of CEP is to correlate small units of time-based data within an ever-changing, ever-growing data cloud in order to detect hard-to-find special situations and to do something for these cases. In order to fully understand how it works, we first need to define a few other concepts. Let's start by defining events.

What are events and complex events?

In order to understand events, let's first talk about a familiar concept. So far, we've dealt with facts that we insert into a Kie Session and how they can match a specific rule. Facts are very similar to events, except events have one extra feature: time of occurrence. Events are simply the data about any domain (represented as a Java object), along with the information about the time in which this information was true.

Pretty much anything that we record taking place at a specific time can be an event, as follows:

  • A sale in our eShop has a time for the transaction
  • A phone call has a starting...
