[rules-users] Question about insertLogical

[Gras, Patrick]

Hello,

I have a question because insertLogical does not behave as I expected.

Here is the example I use; I have a class 'cat' that is dynamic (JavaBean with PropertyChangeSupport ) with only a 'name' attribute.

Then I have following rule:

rule "test"
	when
		$cat:Cat( name == "tom" )
	then 
		$cat.setName("cat");
		insertLogical(new String("test"));
		
end

When I test the rule against a cat named tom, the logical inserted fact is not retracted. (So the fact is inserted because the rule matches, but is not retracted even if the rule is no more matching at the end.)

If I change the order of the RHS, it works fine. The fact is inserted and then retracted.

rule "test"
	when
		$cat:Cat( name == "tom" )
	then 
		insertLogical(new String("test"));
		$cat.setName("cat");
end

Is that the normal behavior ?
