Globals should only be used for data that is constant over the life of the working memory, which is not so in your case.<br><br>Maybe you should just use a fact counter. If you don't want to affect your code you could insert it in a separate rule.<br>

Hello,<br>
I would like to take 100 sampling facts for rule and persist it in the db<br>
and ignore other data.<br>
How Can I maintain the counter? as global variable? Please clarify with<br>
sample code.<br>
I tried following way and but it does not work as expected.<br>
<br>
Ex:<br>
global Integer counter;<br>
rule "get sampling data"<br>
when fact : Foo(some condition) && eval(counter <= 100)<br>
then<br>
counter++<br>
// do some condition<br>
end<br>
