Description of problem:
Executing a process with multiple BusinessRulesTask is getting stuck in an infinite loop.
A sucessfully validated DRL is executed by a jbpm process . The execution stops at the node where the business rule task should be executed; the java process consumes all available CPU time and the BPM Suite execution is not possible for any other process.
If the complete DRL is used, the behaviour desribed above occurs. If one of the rules is ommitted, the rule execution works! Here is a simplified version of those rules:
rule r1 ruleflow-group "group1"
salience 100
when
$person: Person( $addressList : addresses )
Address( zipCode == "10243" ) from $addressList
$cheese : Cheese( )
then
System.out.println("r1 executed");
end
rule r2 ruleflow-group "group1"
salience 5
when
$person: Person( $addressList : addresses )
Address( zipCode == "10318" ) from $addressList
$cheese : Cheese( )
then
System.out.println("r2 executed");
end
Note the usage of the 'from' keyword. Its usage with very similar fact attributes seems to confuse the whole evaluation algorithm.
We have simulated the problem in a unit test and have found that the evaluation of rules repeatedly (infinited) executes the method org.drools.core.reteoo.FromNode.createPeer()
Taking a heap dump after the infinite loop is entered showed a huge number of FromNodeLeftTuple instances.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See reproducer
Actual results:
Drools enters an infinite loop
Expected results:
Process and rules execution finishes normally
