Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                   throws java.io.IOException

getType

public org.drools.base.rule.Behavior.BehaviorType getType()

Description copied from interface: BehaviorRuntime

Returns the type of the behavior

Specified by:

getType in interface org.drools.base.rule.Behavior

Specified by:

getType in interface BehaviorRuntime

getSize

public long getSize()

Returns:

the size

setSize

public void setSize(int size)

Parameters:

size - the size to set

createContext

public BehaviorContext createContext()

Description copied from interface: BehaviorRuntime

Creates the context object associated with this behavior. The object is given as a parameter in all behavior call backs.

Specified by:

createContext in interface BehaviorRuntime

assertFact

public boolean assertFact(java.lang.Object context,
                          org.kie.api.runtime.rule.FactHandle handle,
                          PropagationContext pctx,
                          ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Description copied from interface: BehaviorRuntime

Makes the behavior aware of the new fact entering behavior's scope

Specified by:

assertFact in interface BehaviorRuntime

Parameters:

context - The behavior context object

handle - The new fact entering behavior's scope

Returns:

true if the propagation should continue, false otherwise. I.e., the behaviour has veto power over the fact propagation, and prevents the propagation to continue if returns false on this method.

retractFact

public void retractFact(java.lang.Object context,
                        org.kie.api.runtime.rule.FactHandle handle,
                        PropagationContext pctx,
                        ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Description copied from interface: BehaviorRuntime

Removes a right tuple from the behavior's scope

Specified by:

retractFact in interface BehaviorRuntime

Parameters:

context - The behavior context object

handle - The fact leaving the behavior's scope

expireFacts

public void expireFacts(java.lang.Object context,
                        PropagationContext pctx,
                        ReteEvaluator reteEvaluator)

Description copied from interface: BehaviorRuntime

A callback method that allows behaviors to expire facts

Specified by:

expireFacts in interface BehaviorRuntime

getExpirationOffset

public long getExpirationOffset()

Length windows don't change expiration offset, so always return -1

Specified by:

getExpirationOffset in interface org.drools.base.rule.Behavior

Specified by:

getExpirationOffset in interface BehaviorRuntime

Returns:

the expiration offset for this behavior or -1 if they don't have a time based expiration offset.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
