[rules-users] Rule problem

Well, approach this systematically, then: Create a new Drools project in Eclipse and replace the DroolsTest.java and Sample.drl with the ones I sent before.  What results do you get?  If they are correct, modify the project one step at a time until the problem is uncovered.

One place to focus on: you're using rule flows.  I have no idea how that could cause a false positive result like you've seen, but you never know.

Finally, if you're comparing performance of rules vs plain java, plain java will easily win in this case.  The rule of thumb is this: if you can easily write a plain non-rules algorithm it will outperform the rules solution.
