Hi,<br>
<br>
Can I use any arbitrary date for the drools execution so that correct rules are fired based on not current date but any arbitrary date? This is in the context of @date-effective and @date-expires metadata that can be specified as part of a rule. Drools expert documentation seems to imply that this metadata uses &quot;current date&quot; though I am not clear what current date (system date?) means.<br>

<br>
Thanks<br>
