even the LHS from evaluating for certain cases ? A few of my LHS

agenda groups, but I thought agenda groups only ordered execution in

<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR><BR> I am building a system where I
would need to fire different sets of rules based on some
attribute in the fact object. <BR><BR>Here are someways
which I thought of, I was wondering if there was something
better than that.<BR><BR>1) I could do this by creating
different sessions based on the data attrbute (different
sessions would have different rule packages based on the
attribute)<BR><BR>or <BR><BR>2) Have all the rules fire (all the
different sets of rules) irrespective of the attribute and have
them insert fact new objects into the working memory. In the
second round of rules, collect the (newly made) fact
objects based on the attribute and take that
action.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thanks <BR><BR>Jai
