How to load specific rule (.drl) from Guvnor web-app? - drools

For example, I have added two rules (rule1.drl and rule2.drl) in Guvnor.
Normally I can retrieve those rules combined by creating a changeset.xml like:
<change-set ...>
<add>
<resource source='http://localhost/guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/name/LATEST.drl' type='DRL' basicAuthentication="enabled" username="username" password="password" />
</add>
</change-set>
And load the changeset.xml by codes:
KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("Test Agent", kaconf);
kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource("changeset.xml"));
knowledgeBase = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();
But how I can retrieve specific rule only? e.g. rule2.drl
Of course I can change the url in changeset.xml to
<resource source='http://localhost/guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/name/LATEST/rule2.drl' type='DRL' basicAuthentication="enabled" username="username" password="password" />
But I found that the response file miss the package name and all the import statements, for example:
package com.packname;
import namespace.EntityA;

When we need to execute especific drl package we use diferent changeset for each package/snapshot.
If the rules are related use different pojos for separate the rule, because you know the guvnor compile all your rules from a package in one big .drl, this could be slow if you have a hundred of rule-then-end's and iterate it with different pojo instances.

The URL patterns for packages and individual assets is different. For assets (e.g. DRLs) the pattern is:
<resource source='http://localhost:9090/drools-guvnor/rest/packages/test/assets/MyRule/source' type='DRL' />

My workaround to this problem is to create two different packages, one for rule1.drl and one for rule2.drl. So my program read these two rule by two different changeset.

Transformation of machineKey tag

We have to transform tag in which "decryptionKey" and "validationKey" will be different for our development and test environments.
We have tried to give different variables for validationKey and decryptionKey but confused with the xdt: Transform and xdt: Locator attribute as they will occur once in the same tag.
Suppose following is the web.config machineKey tag,
<machineKey decryptionKey="012345678910111213141516"
validation="SHA1" validationKey="235487512547896321458778996325456965542126364586965" />
We have to give transformation something like following,
<machineKey decryptionKey="#{DecryptionKey}#"
validation="SHA1"
validationKey="#{ValidationKey}#"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"
xdt:Locator="Match(decryptionKey)"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes"
xdt:Locator="Match(validationKey)" />
Need this kind of a solution in which we have to give multiple variables within a single tag.
To set multiple attributes, you need to pass them into SetAttributes as a comma-delimited list.
This is documented here
However, if you are actually replacing all of the attributes, it might just be easier/cleaner to use xdt:Transform="Replace" and set the entire tag value in each configuration.

Passing an external parameter from a jsp to an xsl (Eclipse)

Setting the scene:
I'm working on a webapp in Eclipse, with a bunch of JSPs and XSLs. And I need to hide some features depending on some users' attributes. This is the third job in the series.
For the previous 2 jobs, I was able to achieve my goals because either the required changes were on JSPs (straightforward) or on XSLs for which the objects existed.
I.e. We have the following sequence:
- searchForm.jsp (a form with some criteria you set up and submit),
- resultsList.jsp (a list of search results - clicking on any result brings the full record for the result),
- displayItem.jsp (the full record),
- record.xsl (the xsl that transforms displayItem.jsp).
Thus for the 2 previous jobs, the features I needed to hide were either on these JSPs themselves or on the xsl, in which case the (relevant) JSPs had:
<c:set target="${item}" property="xsltParameter" value="xxxx=Y"/>
where 'item' is an existing object and 'xxxx' a (usually but not necessarily global) parameter defined in the xsl.
For example:
<xsl:param name="xxxx">N</xsl:param>
Thus, if my changes were on the xsl, I would reuse the 'item' object to pass on my parameter and process it in the XSL(s).
E.g. I'd put on the jsp:
<c:set target="${item}" property="xsltParameter" value="abcd=AAA"/>
and add to the xsl:
<xsl:param name="abcd"></xsl:param>
This way I was able to pass my own parameters to the xsl.
For this last job however:
- The XSL (filters.xsl) is quite short and self-contained.
- It appears on the same page as resultsList.jsp, (therefore after searchForm.jsp) but has no connection I can see with it.
- On the JSPs, there's NO (appropriate) target object I can (re)use.
- I've already tried on a/the JSP the way I know to create variables/parameters:
<c:set var="xyz" value="${abcd}"/>
but this doesn't seem to work (when I create a corresponding xyz global parameter in filters.xsl).
My issues are:
- I'm struggling to create an object (if that's what I need to do).
- I may need to do something else, but I'm not sure what (hence my post).
Plan B
In desperation, with plan B I'm creating as a proof-of-concept, a static xml file (param-val.xml), in the same location as the XSLs, in which I put my external parameter/criterion:
<paramroot>
<paramval>abcd</paramval>
</paramroot>
What I'd like to do is using the document() function, extract this parameter and use it either within filters.xsl if possible or otherwise a go-between prefilters.xsl that filters.xsl would import. And this is where I'd need some help/tips/etc.
<xsl:param name="theXML" select="'prefilters.xml'" />
<xsl:variable name="myDoc" select="document($theXML)" />
I've been reading stuff on the web and tested a few things, but I'm stuck (rusty on some topics and learning others). How can I grab and use the 'abcd' in either filters or prefilters?
Any suggestions on how best to handle this?
Sorry for the lenghty post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and regards.

Alfresco: how to change start task name of custom workflow?

I want workflow details page to show a descriptive name for the start task instead of the form id in History table. The name attribute of userTasks works fine, but I can't get it working on my startEvent. As seen below:
<startEvent id="start" name="Início" activiti:initiator="initiatorUserName"
activiti:formKey="workflowdocumentrequest:start">
<userTask id="userTask1" name="Revisão da Requisição de Documento Físico"
activiti:assignee="${workflowdocumentrequest_destination.properties.userName}"
activiti:formKey="workflowdocumentrequest:review">
What do I have to do?
Well, if you're developing a custom advanced workflow in Alfresco using Activiti you should check out this Jeff Pots guide.
Other than that, in order to use a customised string for your start event you should be familiar with content modeling and i18n properties files.
So for your startEvent you should have a specific workflow model declaring the workflowdocumentrequest:start type, something similar to this:
<type name="workflowdocumentrequest:start">
<parent>bpm:startTask</parent>
...
</type>
For that workflow content model you should have a specific i18n file, in messages folder called workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow.properties.
There you should have something like this:
workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow_workflowmodel.type.workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow_start.title=Início
The workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow_workflowmodel part is your namespacePrefixShortname_yourWorkflowModelName (the one you have used at the beginning of your workflow content model xml file <model name="workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow:workflowmodel xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">.
The .type. is obviously your custom type for the start event task.
The workflowdocumentrequestWorkflow_start is your type's name in your xml. Activiti engine and i18n file hase to be written with _ instead of :.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Creating a working copy for Plone 4 custom content types

I have created a custom Plone content type in my package i.e. my.product.
I am in need of integrating a working copy support: so that a "published" document (in my case, a published content type) stays online while it is being edited. Basically, I want to take advantage of 'Working Copy Support (Iterate)' provided by plone.app.iterate to achieve what is explained here. This will provide me with ability to check-in/check-out my changes.
Is this possible in Plone 4 with custom content types using Archetypes? How would one go about it if yes?
I added the following two files inside my.product/my/product/profiles/default folder and it appears to work:
diff_tool.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object>
<difftypes>
<type portal_type="MyCustomType">
<field name="any" difftype="Compound Diff for AT types"/>
</type>
</difftypes>
</object>
repositorytool.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<repositorytool>
<policymap>
<type name="MyCustomType">
<policy name="at_edit_autoversion"/>
<policy name="version_on_revert"/>
</type>
</policymap>
</repositorytool>
I have never used plone.app.iterate, but this is the generic approach how to solve the problem.
Actions are installed by plone.app.iterate GenericSetup profile. You can see actions here:
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.iterate/blob/master/plone/app/iterate/profiles/default/actions.xml
Pay note to the line *available_expr* which tells when to show the action or not. It points to helper view with the conditition.
The view is defined here
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.iterate/blob/master/plone/app/iterate/browser/configure.zcml#L7
The checks that are performed for the content item if it's archiveable
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.iterate/blob/master/plone/app/iterate/browser/control.py#L47
Most likely the failure comes from if not interfaces.IIterateAware.providedBy condition. Your custom contennt must declare this interface. However, you can confirm this putting a pdb breakpoint in checkin_allowed(self) and step it though line-by-line and see what happens with your content type.

Conditional execution for ESB action

Is there a way in JBoss ESB so that an action can be conditionally executed.
My requirement is to conditionally transform an XML if the incoming XML has an attribute resubmitmode with tag value as true. Is there any way to do this with SmooksAction. I want to avoid the transformation if the tag value is false.
true
I did a lot of R&D but could not get this working. One alternative that came to mind was to add a transformation/XSLT rule but not sure if that would work
pasting snippet of jboss-esb.xml. smooks-res.xml contains the transformation rules.
<property name="smooksConfig" value="/smooks-res.xml"/>
<!-- property name="reportPath" value="/zap/smooks-report.html" / -->
</action>
I am using JBOSS SOA Enterprise platform 5.3 and ESB 4.11
I'd take a look at the ContentBasedRouter, and then route based on your condition. The fun_cbr quickstart should provide a decent example of how to do this.
