[rules-users] Drools planner: unbreakable constraint question

[cheikh dhib]

Hello,

I'm not a good Drools user. But i think what you can do, is to use a 
high value(a value that is greater than the sum of all other possible 
values associated with the soft constraints). By this way you will be 
sure that a solution with this constraint violated will not be accepted 
if there is another one  in which the constraint is not violated. In 
opposite if all your solutions violate this constraint, you will have 
one with the less number of violation and that can be enhanced through 
the steps of research, which can lead finally to a feasible solution.

Good luck, any way.
