[rules-users] Help with Drools Flow

[Kris Verlaenen]

By default, the engine only executes rules if you tell it to.  So the
behaviour you are describing is indeed the expected behaviour, the
ruleflow-group will remain active until all rules in it that are active
have been executed.  So you need to call fireAllRules() manually or run
the engine in reactive mode.
