Facts are reachable via the kSession object, e.g., kSession.getFactHandles(), and you could use retract() on them. But note well that retracting facts is not a free lunch: each one updates the Rete network. Calling kSession.dispose() and kBase.newStatefuleKnowledgeSession() is a perfectly reasonable way to clear the ring for the next round. -W -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
