CAMEL DROOLS EXAMPLE
====================
Purpose
-------
Deploys a Camel route which allows a Drools rules file to evaluate messages
and deliver each of them to a appropriate destination.
Explanation
-----------
The Camel route is defined in a Spring XML file, camel-context.xml, which can be
found in the src/main/resources/META-INF/spring directory of this example.
The route is defined in the <route> element and can be explained as follows:
1. A timer endpoint generates a person every second
2. A the Person object is send to a Drools grid-node which is connected to the Drools knowledge base
3. After the object is evaluated, It's Vip-property is inspected
4. Based on this value, one of the two log-messages is chosen to display the result.
The camel-context.xml file also contains the following elements:
- A <drools:grid-node> element as a reference to the Drools ruleset.
- A <drools:kbase> element for the configuration of the knowledge base and the link to the DRL-rules file
- A <drools:ksession> element which creates a session for the Drools evaluation
- A personHelper bean to generate random Person objects
- the Drools camel component bean for our camel route.
- An illustrative definition of a route which shows an
example of passing (inserting) the Body of the message as a
POJO to Drools for execution.
- An illustrative definition of a route which shows an example
of creating a Drools Command wrapping the Body of the message
with the help of the custom DroolsCommandHelperBean (included
in this project), and passing this Drools Command to the
ruleset for execution.
The route and configuration are deployed in an OSGi bundle.
Embedded rules
---------------
rule "humans need water"
Every person gets water
rule "boys go for Cola Zero"
Males older than 8 get Cola Zero
rule "girls go for Cola Light"
Girls older than 8 get Cola Light
rule "can you drink?"
A person older than 21 can drink alcohol
rule "woman go for wine"
Woman who are allowed to drink, take wine
rule "men go for beer"
Men who are allowed to drink, take beer
rule "Vip in the house!"
Rich people are VIPs
rule "Vip woman drink bubbles"
Female VIPs drink champagne
rule "Vip men drink scotch"
Male VIPs drink scotch
Prerequisites for Running the Example
-------------------------------------
1. You must have the following installed on your machine:
- JDK 1.6 or higher
- Maven 2.2.1 or higher (for building)
For more information, see the README in the top-level examples
directory.
2. This example requires some additional configuration to allow
the JVM to use more PermGen memory:
export JAVA_MAX_PERM_MEM=128m (on UNIX)
set JAVA_MAX_PERM_MEM=128m (on Windows)
3. Start ServiceMix by running the following command:
<servicemix_home>/bin/servicemix (on UNIX)
<servicemix_home>\bin\servicemix (on Windows)
Running the Example
-------------------
You can run the example in two ways:
- A. Using a Prebuilt Deployment Bundle: Quick and Easy
This option is useful if you want to see the example up and
running quickly.
- B. Building the Example Bundle Yourself
This option is useful if you want to change the example in any way.
It tells you how to build and deploy the example. This option might
be slower than option A because, if you do not already have the
required bundles in your local Maven repository, Maven will have to
download the bundles it needs.
A. Using a Prebuilt Deployment Bundle: Quick and Easy
-----------------------------------------------------
To install and run a prebuilt version of this example, enter the
following command in the ServiceMix console:
features:install examples-camel-drools
This command makes use of the ServiceMix features facility. For more
information about the features facility, see the README.txt file in the
examples parent directory.
Once the example is running, periodic events trigger the generation of
a Person object and his evaluation. An object can either end up in the
VIP log message or in a regular log message
>>>> | ServeDrink | ... | Serve this old man a pint of beer
>>>> | ServeDrink VIP | ... | This old rich woman is a VIP! Give a bottle of champagne from the house
B. Building the Example Bundle Yourself
---------------------------------------
To install and run the example where you build the example bundle
yourself, complete the following steps:
1. If you have already run the example using the prebuilt version as
described above, you must first uninstall the examples-camel-drools
feature by entering the following command in the ServiceMix console:
features:uninstall examples-camel-drools
2. Build the example by opening a command prompt, changing directory to
examples/camel/camel-drools (this example) and entering the following Maven
command:
mvn install
If all of the required OSGi bundles are available in your local Maven
repository, the example will build very quickly. Otherwise it may
take some time for Maven to download everything it needs.
The mvn install command builds the example deployment bundle and
copies it to your local Maven repository and to the target directory
of this example.
3. Install the example by entering the following command in
the ServiceMix console:
features:install examples-camel-drools
It makes use of the ServiceMix features facility. For more information
about the features facility, see the README.txt file in the examples
parent directory.
Once the example is running, periodic events trigger the generation of
a Person object and his evaluation. An object can either end up in the
VIP log message or in a regular log message
>>>> | ServeDrink | ... | Serve this old man a pint of beer
>>>> | ServeDrink VIP | ... | This old rich woman is a VIP! Give a bottle of champagne from the house
Stopping and Uninstalling the Example
-------------------------------------
To stop the example, enter the following command in the ServiceMix
console:
osgi:stop <bundle_id>
For information on how to find the bundle_id assigned to the example,
see step 3 in the "Updating and Redeploying the Properties File
from the Console" section above.
To uninstall the example, enter one of the following commands in
the ServiceMix console:
features:uninstall examples-camel-drools
or
osgi:uninstall <bundle_id>
Viewing the Log Entries
-----------------------
You can view the entries in the log file in the data/log
directory of your ServiceMix installation, or by typing
the following command in the ServiceMix console:
log:display
