Re: [rules-users] Snapshot of drools engine's state

I understand. But in my case the state might change even if i do not

For that purpose I'll use a timer

insertion.
This does not preclude saving based on event insertion count as you
can monitor inserts by listening.
But this timer introduces real time. How do you propose to replay this
when you restart your session using saved data?
Is my assumption right that the engine will behave deterministic when I
replay the events on my
snapshot using an external (pseudo?) clock. I've tested it and from my
observations it seemed to be
deterministic - but I haven't looked at the engine's internals so far.
I think so. But then your engine will continue with a pseudo-clock.
I plan to persist my events with the timestamps of their occurrence
and
the timestamp when I insert them into the engine.
So will I always end up with the same propagation numbers etc.?
Only one timestamp is used as the one on which rule evaluations are based.
I may have missed something, but I don't think you can build a system
that provides continuous real-time operation for event processing by
using backup and recovery.
