Method Detail

getRulebase

public IRulebase getRulebase()

Get the rulebase.

Returns:

The rule base.

processEvent

public IIntermediateFuture<RuleEvent> processEvent()

Process the next event by - finding rules that are sensible to the event type - evaluate the conditions of these conditions - fire actions of triggered rules.

processRules

protected IFuture<java.lang.Void> processRules(IRule<?>[] rules,
                                               int i,
                                               IEvent event,
                                               IntermediateFuture<RuleEvent> res)

Process a given rule set.

processAllEvents

public IFuture<java.lang.Void> processAllEvents()
