VS::RuleEngine::Loader::XML - Load VS::RuleEngine engine declarations in XML
use VS::RuleEngine::Loader::XML;
my $engine = VS::RuleEngine::Loader::XML->load_file("my_engine.xml");
$engine->run();
my $other_engine = VS::RuleEngine::Loader::XML->load_string($xml);
$other_engine->run();
This module provides a mean to load VS::RuleEngine engine declarations from XML.
Loads the engine declaration from PATH.
Loads the engine declaration from XML.
The document root element must be <engine>. Valid children are:
The elements <action>, <input>, <output> and <rule> all have the following mandatory attributes:
The name of the entity to define in the engine.
The class that implements the entity and that'll be instansiated when the engine is runned.
The default arguments to the entity as defined by a previously declared <defaults>. Separate multiple defaults with comma and/or whitespace.
If the class defined by instanceOf implements the method process_xml_loader_args it will be
called as a class method with the XML::LibXML::Element-element as only argument. This method
must return a list of arguments that will be passed to the constructor for the class when
the entity is instansiated.
If no process_xml_loader_args method is available the loader will interpret all children as a hash
where the elements name is the key and its text content its value. If a child is an empty element,
that is has no children (as in <foo/>) its value will be undef. This hash will be passed
to the constructor as a hash reference.
By using the tag <defaults> t is possible to declare common arguments that can be reused by multiple entities. Its children will be interpreted as key/value pairs. The required attribute 'name' defines the name for the defaults.
By using the tag <ruleset> it is possible to give a set of rules a shared name that can later be used when binding together rules and actions.
The attribute name is always expected and is used to give the ruleset its name which can be referenced later on by other rulesets or rule<->action mappings.
To specify what rules to include it expects <rule>name of rule</rule and/or <ruleset>name of ruleset</ruleset> elements as children. Any other element will result in an error.
In addition to specifying specific rules or contens of other rulesets it is also possible to include the rules that matches the criteria specified by the attributes:
Include all rules that matches the name by the given Perl5 regular expression.
Include all rules which inherits from the given class.
Note, if both attributes above are present it does not create a ruleset with the rule that matches both (i.e a union).
To connect an action to a rule use the <run> element. It expects the attribute action which must be the name of an already defined action. Which rules to invoke the action on is specified with children of type <rule>name of rule</rule and/or <ruleset>name of ruleset</ruleset>. Any other element will result in an error.
