Re: [rules-users] Pattern matching

Here is the actual reason why I wanted to know the difference between those 2. rule "Remove smaller or non-overriden" dialect "java" when L : Response( $r : value && status != "override" ) (Response( value > $r ) or Response( status == "override")) then retract( L ); end The above rule performs what I intended. It retains the Response with the largest value or it the one that has an override status (if one exists) But I am getting a different behaviour for this one rule "Remove smaller or non-overriden" dialect "java" when L : Response( $r : value && status != "override" ) Response( value > $r || status == "override" ) then retract( L ); end This rule seems to retain both the objects, the overriden and the largest value Could you explain to me how they are diffrent.
