I have this class, that reads rule files, insert facts and run rules.
public class RuleRunner {
private KieServices kieServices = KieServices.Factory.get();
public enum RuleType {
XLS,
DRL;
}
private void prepareSession(String ruleResource, RuleType type) {
KieFileSystem kieFileSystem = kieServices.newKieFileSystem();
Resource resource = kieServices.getResources().newClassPathResource(ruleResource);
switch(type) {
case XLS: {
resource.setResourceType(ResourceType.DTABLE);
break;
}
case DRL: {
resource.setResourceType(ResourceType.DRL);
break;
}
}
kieFileSystem.write(resource);
KieBuilder kieBuilder = kieServices.newKieBuilder(kieFileSystem);
kieBuilder.buildAll();
if (hasErrors(kieBuilder)) {
System.out.println("Failed to build!");
return;
}
}
private boolean hasErrors(KieBuilder builder) {
if (builder.getResults().getMessages().size() > 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public void runRules(Object[] facts, GlobalVariable[] variables, String ruleResource, RuleType type) {
prepareSession(ruleResource, type);
KieContainer kieContainer = kieServices.newKieContainer(kieServices.getRepository().getDefaultReleaseId());
KieSession kieSession = kieContainer.newKieSession();
for (GlobalVariable variable: variables) {
kieSession.setGlobal(variable.getVariableName(), variable);
}
for(Object fact: facts) {
kieSession.insert(fact);
}
kieSession.fireAllRules();
kieSession.dispose();
}
}
And I have this rule
package com.pack.drools.apps;
import com.pack.drools.apps.domain.Person;
import com.pack.drools.apps.domain.GlobalVariable;
global GlobalVariable result
rule "if person has less that 10 cash then hes poor"
when
$person:Person(cash < 10)
then
result.setResult(-1);
end
rule "if person has more than 90 cash then hes rich"
when
$person:Person(cash > 90)
then
result.setResult(-2);
end
rule "if person has more than 10 and less than 90 then hes average"
when
$person:Person(cash >= 10 && cash <= 90)
then
result.setResult(-3);
end
However when I try to run my application
package pack.rup.drools.apps;
import pack.rup.drools.apps.core.RuleRunner;
import pack.rup.drools.apps.core.RuleRunner.RuleType;
import pack.rup.drools.apps.domain.GlobalVariable;
import pack.rup.drools.apps.domain.Person;
public class Main {
private static final String DEFAULT_PACKAGE = "pack/rup/drools/apps/";
private static final String XLS_FILE = DEFAULT_PACKAGE + "rule.xls";
private static final String DRL_FILE = DEFAULT_PACKAGE + "rule.drl";
public static void main(String[] args) {
RuleRunner ruleRunner = new RuleRunner();
// build fact
Person person = new Person();
person.setName("John");
person.setCash(100);
GlobalVariable result = new GlobalVariable();
result.setVariableName("result");
// ruleRunner.runRules(new Object[] { person }, new GlobalVariable[] { result }, XLS_FILE, RuleType.XLS);
ruleRunner.runRules(new Object[] { person }, new GlobalVariable[] { result }, DRL_FILE, RuleType.DRL);
System.out.println("Rule result: " + result.getResult());
}
}
my log looks like this

It seems that you must use a particular directory when writing DRL or XLS resources to the KieFileSystem. Try
String filename = ...; // code that set filename to (e.g.) rule.drl
kieFileSystem.write( "src/main/resources/" + filename, resource );
Also, in your DRL you have
import com.pack.drools.apps.domain....
whereas in Main.java there is
import pack.rup.drools.apps.domain....
These imports should be from the same package.
Edit To test what globals are in the session:
Globals globals = kieSession.getGlobals();
System.out.println( globals.getGlobalKeys() );
