java - 比较流口水中的日期

Question

我的规则文件如下，

import com.springapp.mvc.model.Person; 
dialect "java"
rule "4" 
    when
        $person:Person(((date > "20-Jan-2015") && (date < "20-Dec-2015")) && (call_count >= "299"))
    then
        System.out.println("Beep");
end

我添加了以下人员对象和触发规则，如下所示，

Person person = new Person();
person.date = "20-Feb-2015";
person.call_count = 400;
kSession.insert(person);
int fires = kSession.fireAllRules();

但它没有打印出“Beep”。我认为条件不匹配，但我不明白为什么会这样。我如何比较 drools 中的日期？

我的实际规则集，

package Customer_Loyalty_Categorization;
import com.springapp.mvc.model.Person; 
dialect "java"

rule "4" 
    when
        $person:Person(((date > "10-Nov-2015") && (date < "10-Dec-2015")) && (call_count >= "299"))
        $person:Person(((date > "10-Nov-2015")&&(date < "30-Dec-2015")) && (call_count >= "299"))
    then
        System.out.println("Point rule runs.");
        $person.points = ($person.call_count)*0.2;
end

rule "6" 
    when
        $person:Person(call_count >= "599")
    then
        System.out.println("Category rule runs.");
        $person.setCategory('PLATINUM');
end

并且在更改人的日期变量类型后我得到了以下异常，

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to Analyse Expression date > "20-Nov-2015":

我将规则生成为字符串集，并使用以下函数将它们转换为知识库，

public void createKnowledgeBase(){
        String ruleSet = loadRuleSet();//generate rules as strings.
        try {
            System.out.println(ruleSet);
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            if(ruleSet!=null){
                KnowledgeBuilder knowledgeBuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
                Resource myResource = ResourceFactory.newReaderResource(new StringReader(ruleSet));
                knowledgeBuilder.add(myResource, ResourceType.DRL);
                if (knowledgeBuilder.hasErrors()) {
                    throw new RuntimeException(knowledgeBuilder.getErrors().toString());
                }
                knowledgeBase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();
                knowledgeBase.addKnowledgePackages(knowledgeBuilder.getKnowledgePackages());
            }
            long finish = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Execution time = " + (finish-start) + " milliseconds.");
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Answer 1

显然你有

class Person {
    String date;
    // ...
}

这样

when
    $person:Person(((date > "20-Jan-2015") ...

结果为字符串(!)比较

"20-Feb-2015" > "20-Jan-2015" && "20-Feb-2015" < "20-Dec-2015"

有时甚至可以工作，但大多数情况下不会。你应该使用

class Person {
    java.util.Date date;
    // ...
}

你需要改变

person.date = new Date( 115, 1, 20 ); // or, preferably, parse a string 

但是你可以保留规则； Drools 会将字符串转换为日期值(前提是它与您的区域设置相对应)。

后来 经过一些实验，我发现 6.3.0(可能还有更早的版本)在编译 java.util.Date 与 String 的比较时有一个相当奇怪的行为。

rule x1 when
  Person(date > "10-Jan-2000")              // OK
  Person($date:date, date > "10-Jan-2000")  // OK
  Person($date:date, $date > "10-Jan-2000") // Error (types incompatible)

当程序员可能不依赖绑定(bind)变量的行为与其绑定(bind)到的属性这一事实时，这绝对是令人困惑的。

最后:不要在事实类中使用公共(public)字段。继续使用 Java Beans 模型并声明 getter 和 setter。事实证明，由于缺少访问(公共(public))实例变量本身，Drools 没有使用从 String 到 java.util.Date 的自动转换一个 setter/getter 。
