<br>
Our proprietary vintage RBS has a feature is (admittedly) rarely used<br>
but could come in handy, every now and then.<br>
<br>
Given this class<br>
<br>
class Element {<br>
int rank; // rank > 0<br>
}<br>
<br>
and to fire a rule in ascending rank order, you can write (using<br>
modified Drools syntax)<br>
<br>
rule "fire in rank order 1,2,..."<br>
when<br>
Element( $rank : rank,... )<br>
// ...<br>
salience -$rank ### <=<br>
then<br>
// ...<br>
end<br>
<br>
The dynamically set salience does all the work. (Of course, you can<br>
achieve the same order<br>
in Drools easily enough.)<br>
<br>
This is possible since salience is a value that must be carried over<br>
into the activation.<br>
There is at least one other rule attribute that shares this property,<br>
but I'm not sure<br>
whether anything useful can be done with dynamic agenda groups.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
