[rules-users] Salience

If I have a rule like below: rule "#1" when $i : Item(type == 1) then retract ($i) // do something... end rule "#2" when $i : Item(type == 2) then retract ($i) // do something... end // to handle other type of Item rule "#catch-all" salience -10 when $i : Item() then retract ($i) // do something... end As it is known, reliance on salience is bad practice and its order is not guaranteed (as shown in Sudoku example). My question is: what is the simple and good practice to emulate "else" (rule "#catch-all") without reliance on salience? It seems ruleflow is not applicable here as well. Thanks and best regards. -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Salience-tp2289179p22... Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
