[rules-users] Trying to get Sliding Windows to work

[Edson Tirelli]

   Ober0n,

   Sorry for the delay on answering. I am on a trip with limited internet
connection.
   I am interested in your experience with the sliding windows, since the
tests are working. Maybe it is a scenario not covered by the tests.

   In any case, what is probably happening is that you are not configuring
the engine to work in STREAM mode. The default mode is CLOUD and it does not
support sliding windows. It seems the engine is silently failing in this
case, when the compiler raise an error to warn the user.

    I just committed some docs on this subject:

https://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/job/drools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/target/docs/drools-fusion/html/ch02.html#d0e1067

    (plz, wait for hudson to rebuild the docs or build docs yourself).

    Feedback welcome. I will complement the sliding window docs.
