Re: [rules-users] Field value is different when and then section, very strange. Is it mvel vs java issue

Identify the requirements for changing your data. For instance, what *exactly* is the state of an Account fact x when it should be subject to x.setAccountStatus( "PENDING" ); Any value of accountStatus? All values *except* PENDING? null? ...? Make sure to constrain Account() in this and any other rule by adding the correct boolean expression between the parens. modify( x ){ set...(...), set...(...) } is the preferred way of notifying the Drools Engine that a fact has changed and all rules potentially referring to this fact need to be reconsidered; the fact's history is irrelevant. x.set...(...); x.set...(...); update( x ); is essentially the same. Using salience is (usually) the wrong approach, as is no-loop, which will avoid only on-the-spot reactivation - you can still loop over two or more rules. -W On 30 October 2012 17:39, kina06 <reachkn6(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
