Inception – The Anti Pattern – jBPM5 & Drools

It was a great year (2011), I have been doing consulting for all over the world about jBPM5 and Drools, visiting more than 15 different clients on different locations. All of them highly interested in learning and using these projects. But I notice, in at least 5 of them a weird new Anti Pattern which I call “Inception”. Most of the time they have a “Business” justification, but technically they all know that they are gonna have troubles at some point in the future. So, I decide to write a post with some thoughts around this anti-pattern for two main reasons:

Once we understand the basics of the RETE algorithm we need to go deep and analyze how the RETE network is built in order to optimize the rules that you write.
For that reason the following slides will show very simple examples and their generated Networks in order to play a little bit with the algorithm. We will analyze how the Network is built and also how it behaves at runtime when facts are asserted and they need to be matched with the rules.
