<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=027531005-08102009>I have recently
started with Drools flows . I am having some trouble using the
ruleFlowGroup node.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=027531005-08102009>The way I understood
the user guide is that when the flow reaches a ruleFlowGroup the engine will
start firing rules associated to the specific rule flow group . But when I try
what I see is that the call to the startProcess returns when it reaches a
ruleFlowGroup node. The audit logs show that the RuleFlowGroup is activated.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=027531005-08102009>After the return
when I explicitly call a fireAllRules the rule group seems to get
executed and the flow moves on to the subsequent nodes. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=027531005-08102009>What is the expected
behavior? Will the rules start executing automatically when a ruleFlowGroup node
is reached or do you have to call fire all rules explicitly?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
