A common issue that I am looking into is setting the execution date to test future or legacy rules (i.e., with dates that are not the system date.) A number of users have posted about TimeMachine, TimeServices and the perils of setting the system date - but a JIRA lists TimeMachine as being remove and TimeServices doesn't look like it has a setter for the execution time. What is the API for simulating the date to be compared against effective and expiration dates of rules that can be used by stateful sessions? -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/TimerService-vs-TimeMachine-and-date-ef...
