[rules-users] Expected rule not firing.

I am building my app's rules from decision tables using Drools 4.0.7. At one point, I expect a particular rule to fire but it never does. The rule originally was constrained to the presence of a POJO to store the results of the rule's evaluation that is as yet not evaluated and a POJO that containing the data to be evaluated. While trying to diagnose why it never fires, I have reduced the constraints to the presence of the POJO results container. It still doesn't fire. Excerpts from the initialization and evaluation decision tables (compiled to DRL): # Construct DecisionPoint container to hold results of evaluation #From row number: 53 rule "Init Plus 5V PS Overtemp" salience 65484 no-loop true ruleflow-group "Initialize Testpoint Groups" when then subtestName = "Fault Sum"; ruleName = "Plus 5V PS Overtemp"; serviceProvider.create("DecisionPoint",ruleName); dsl.addDebugString("row called " + "IN_52"); end # Record that +5V PS Overtemp condition exists in DecisionPoint object #From row number: 26 rule "Plus 5V PS Overtemp Set" salience 65510 no-loop true ruleflow-group "PS Overtemp" when outputDecision: DecisionPoint(name == "Plus 5V PS Overtemp") then subtestName = "Fault Sum"; ruleName = "Plus 5V PS Overtemp"; ID = "PASSED"; modifyRetract(outputDecision); outputDecision.setEvaluation(ruleName, ID); modifyInsert(outputDecision); dsl.addDebugString("row called " + "DE_26"); end Enabling listeners for working memory updates and ruleflow transitions, I see that the container is built and added to memory but is not found when the PS Overtemp ruleflow group is activated.
