Schedule object you'd be better of either:-</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=739032207-11072007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>(b) Using AgendaGroups: The default Agenda Group could
contain rules to decide which schedule needs to be activated. The RHS of these
rules would set the focus to the applicable Agenda Group containing all the
rules associated with the schedule.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=739032207-11072007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>(a) Using a different RuleBase for each schedule; but
the "which schedule to activate" decision would be either undertaken in
hard-coded Java or another RuleBase that returns an object indicating which
other Rulebase to use.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
