...Always change the huge signature... sorry...

Edson,

   I tried what you said, but it is not the same... cant get the expected result.

With agenda-group the can control de flow, but outside the rules (auto-focus didnt work well),
and before that I prefer to use rule-flow-group (and use the GUI).

What Im trying to get is a set of rules that dont depend on flows or sequences to work together, because
this set of rules can be large and I dont want the business user have to check all rules to know how to write
the next rule... they must be writen in an independent way, but work together...

lock-on-active didnt work either to get that result, because when I use it stops activations, so the update(fact) actually
has no effect on other rules... I need to put wm.setFocus("group1");wm.setFocus("group2");..etc. at the java code...
I dont want to do that...

Maybe you can help me...

an example will be this...(pseudo code)

rule "base vacation days"
when
e: Employee( yearsInCompany > 1)
then
e.setVacationDays(10);
update(e);
end

rule "seniors extra vacation days"
when
e: Employee( yearsInCompany > 4, vd: vacationDays)
then
e.setVacationDays(vd+2);
update(e);
end

rule "old-employee extra vacation days"
when
e: Employee( yearsInCompany > 10, vd: vacationDays)
then
e.setVacationDays(vd+4);
update(e);
end

....and so on....

So I need the business ppl write this rules without knowing the rest of the rules... I think this is
the idea of having a rule-system...

Thanks.

   Felipe,

   Thanks. I'm working on it.

   BTW, I forgot to mention, what you are doing to control rules is a not a good way to do it. You should try agenda-group+lock-on-active rule attributes instead.
   Look at the conway's game of life as an example, and maybe help us document the feature... :)

   Felipe,

   Ok, this is a nasty damn bug. :(

   I'm working on a solution for it right now. May I ask you please to open a JIRA for it and attach your code bellow?

   Thank you,

I know I already asked this in a previous email, but no answer and diferent subject... so I'll ask again 

I have an issue using update in 2 rules that update the same object... a loop is created even when I try to
avoid the loop adding an extra condition to each rule... Im inserting an ArrayList as a fact too, so I can check
the extra condition...

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Consider this:
//-------RULES-----------------------------
package cl.bluesoft.test

#list any import classes here.
import java.util.List
import java.util.ArrayList

import cl.bluesoft.test.rules.Fact

#declare any global variables here

rule "test update A"
    salience 699
    no-loop  
when
$f : Fact($n: number > 0)
$list: ArrayList( this excludes "key1" )
then
System.out.println( "A-fact number1:"+$f.getNumber()+ " list 1:"+$list);
$list.add( "key1" );
$f.setNumber($n + 1);
update ($f);
update ($list);
System.out.println("A-fact number2:" +$f.getNumber()+" list 2:" +$list);
end


rule "test update B"
    salience 699
    no-loop  
when
$f : Fact($n: number > 1)
$list: ArrayList( this excludes "key2" )
then
System.out.println( "B-fact number1:" +$f.getNumber()+" list 1:" +$list);
$list.add("key2" );
$f.setNumber($n + 1);
update ($f);
update ($list);
System.out.println("B-fact number2:" +$f.getNumber()+ " list 2:"+$list);
end

//-------FACT-----------------------------
public class Fact implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 331627137981862975L;

private int number;

public Fact(int number){
this.number = number;
}

public Fact(){
this(0);
}

/**
 * @return the number
 */
public int getNumber() {
return number;
}

/**
 * @param number the number to set
 */
public void setNumber(int number) {
this.number = number;
}

}

//------TEST---------
public class TestUpdateFact implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = -574789596641083743L;

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
RuleBase ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
Package pkg = builder.getPackage();
.... 
WorkingMemory session = ruleBase.getStatefulSession();
...etc etc...

List list = new ArrayList();

Fact fact1 = new Fact(1);

session.fireAllRules();

....etc, etc...

}

}

//--------OUTPUT------------
A-fact number1:1 list 1:[]
A-fact number2:2 list 2:[key1]
B-fact number1:2 list 1:[key1]
B-fact number2:3 list 2:[key1, key2]
A-fact number1:3 list 1:[key1, key2]
A-fact number2:4 list 2:[key1, key2, key1]
B-fact number1:4 list 1:[key1, key2, key1]
B-fact number2:5 list 2:[key1, key2, key1, key2]
A-fact number1:5 list 1:[key1, key2, key1, key2]
A-fact number2:6 list 2:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1]
B-fact number1:6 list 1:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1]
B-fact number2:7 list 2:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1, key2]
A-fact number1:7 list 1:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1, key2]
A-fact number2:8 list 2:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1, key2, key1]
B-fact number1:8 list 1:[key1, key2, key1, key2, key1, key2, key1]

.... for ever.....

So I have a loop... only when I use update and both rules...  condition about the
list not containing "key1" and "key2" seems not properly chequed... I dont know...

Can somebody help me? Am I missing something here?

Thanks.
