Package org.drools.core.reteoo

Class Rete

java.lang.Object

org.drools.core.common.BaseNode

org.drools.core.reteoo.ObjectSource

org.drools.core.reteoo.Rete

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, NetworkNode, ObjectSink, Sink

public class Rete
extends ObjectSource
implements ObjectSink

The Rete-OO network. The Rete class is the root Object. All objects are asserted into the Rete node where it propagates to all matching ObjectTypeNodes. The first time an instance of a Class type is asserted it does a full iteration of all ObjectTyppeNodes looking for matches, any matches are then cached in a HashMap which is used for future assertions. While Rete extends ObjectSource nad implements ObjectSink it nulls the methods attach(), remove() and updateNewNode() as this is the root node they are no applicable

Constructor Details

Rete

public Rete()

Rete

public Rete(InternalRuleBase kBase)

Method Details

getType

public int getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface NetworkNode

assertObject

public void assertObject(InternalFactHandle factHandle,
 PropagationContext context,
 ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

This is the entry point into the network for all asserted Facts. Iterates a cache of matching ObjectTypdeNodes asserting the Fact. If the cache does not exist it first iteraes and builds the cache.

Specified by:

assertObject in interface ObjectSink

Parameters:

factHandle - The FactHandle of the fact to assert

context - The PropagationContext of the WorkingMemory action

reteEvaluator - The working memory session.

retractObject

public void retractObject(InternalFactHandle handle,
 PropagationContext context,
 ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Retract a fact object from this RuleBase and the specified WorkingMemory.

Parameters:

handle - The handle of the fact to retract.

reteEvaluator - The working memory session.

modifyObject

public void modifyObject(InternalFactHandle factHandle,
 ModifyPreviousTuples modifyPreviousTuples,
 PropagationContext context,
 ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Specified by:

modifyObject in interface ObjectSink

addObjectSink

public void addObjectSink(ObjectSink objectSink)

Adds the ObjectSink so that it may receive Objects propagated from this ObjectSource.

Overrides:

addObjectSink in class ObjectSource

Parameters:

objectSink - The ObjectSink to receive propagated Objects. Rete only accepts ObjectTypeNodes as parameters to this method, though.

removeObjectSink

public void removeObjectSink(ObjectSink objectSink)

Description copied from class: ObjectSource

Removes the ObjectSink

Overrides:

removeObjectSink in class ObjectSource

Parameters:

objectSink - The ObjectSink to remove

doAttach

public void doAttach(BuildContext context)

Overrides:

doAttach in class BaseNode

networkUpdated

public void networkUpdated(UpdateContext updateContext)

Description copied from class: BaseNode

A method that is called for all nodes whose network below them changed, after the change is complete, providing them with an opportunity for state update

Overrides:

networkUpdated in class ObjectSource

doRemove

protected boolean doRemove(RuleRemovalContext context,
 ReteooBuilder builder)

Description copied from class: BaseNode

Removes the node from the network. Usually from the parent ObjectSource or TupleSource

Overrides:

doRemove in class ObjectSource

getEntryPointNode

public EntryPointNode getEntryPointNode(EntryPointId entryPoint)

getObjectTypeNodes

public List<ObjectTypeNode> getObjectTypeNodes()

getObjectTypeNodes

public Map<ObjectType,ObjectTypeNode> getObjectTypeNodes(EntryPointId entryPoint)

getRuleBase

public InternalRuleBase getRuleBase()

Overrides:

getRuleBase in class ObjectSource

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides:
