<TITLE>How to add more knowledge to Stateful session, post start-up</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">At present I set up a ksession like this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">KnowledgeBase kbase = < call method that loads several rule files and process flow files via kbase.addKnowledgePackages(kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages()) ></FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Courier New">StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Then I set globals, start one of the processes, assert facts, fire rules etc etc</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Later on rules fire that start some or all of the remaining pre-loaded processes, as required</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Is the best way to do it? Instead should I be loading additional rule and/or process files in to the ksession on the fly, rather than at the beginning, for performance/scalability reasons? (I couldn't work out how to do this without overwriting ksession).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Thanks in anticipation,</FONT>
