Method Detail

createWorkingMemoryContext

Object createWorkingMemoryContext()

Creates and return a context object for each working memory instance

Returns:

createContext

Object createContext()

Creates the context object for an accumulator session. The context is passed as a parameter to every subsequent accumulator method call in the same session.

Returns:

init

Object init(Object workingMemoryContext,
            Object context,
            Tuple leftTuple,
            Declaration[] declarations,
            ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Executes the initialization block of code

Parameters:

leftTuple - tuple causing the rule fire

declarations - previous declarations

reteEvaluator -

Throws:

Exception

accumulate

Object accumulate(Object workingMemoryContext,
                  Object context,

                  Declaration[] declarations,
                  Declaration[] innerDeclarations,
                  ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Executes the accumulate (action) code for the given fact handle

Parameters:

leftTuple -

handle -

declarations -

innerDeclarations -

reteEvaluator -

Throws:

Exception

supportsReverse

boolean supportsReverse()

Returns true if this accumulator supports operation reversal

Returns:

tryReverse

boolean tryReverse(Object workingMemoryContext,
                   Object context,
                   Tuple leftTuple,
                   InternalFactHandle handle,
                   Object value,
                   Declaration[] declarations,
                   Declaration[] innerDeclarations,
                   ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Reverses the accumulate action for the given fact handle

Parameters:

context -

leftTuple -

handle -

declarations -

innerDeclarations -

reteEvaluator -

Throws:

Exception

getResult

Object getResult(Object workingMemoryContext,
                 Object context,
