Re: [rules-users] Time constrained rules

Jason, Yes, the engine does not see any change in TestObject until you call update() for it. In your case, I would play that a bit different: rule "remove objects older than 2 seconds" when Clock( $cur : currentTime ) $to : TestObject( creationTime < ( $cur - 2000 ) ) then System.out.println(new java.util.Date() + " ========= Retracting " + $to); retract($to); end This way you only need to update your clock object and not your testObjects.
