            (cf. Expert):<br>
            <br>
            &nbsp;"Each rule has a salience attribute that can be assigned an

            <br>
            If it isn't documented, nobody will use it. Being in front
            of the when part where the bindings occur, it is
            counter-intuitive to other bound variable references, and so

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