The simplist solution is just to change your condition to be $a : Applicant(age < 18,
valid != false)

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Infinit loop in simple example
import spikes.Applicant
rule "Is of valid age" when
$a : Applicant( age < 18 )
then
modify( $a ) { valid = false };
end
By using modify() you are telling the engine that $a was modified in some way. This causes
the re-evaluation of your rule, and since $a.age is still < 18, then the rule is
activated and fired infinite times.
Read the documentation manual about some attributes you can use in your rules to avoid
this behavior: no-loop, lock-on-active.
