Dear All,
In a multithreaded application I plan to use Drools the following way:
-use only queries but not rules
-keep an outside reference to all facts inserted into the working memory, and keep modifying the facts after they were inserted
-use locks synchronizing outside fact changes and Drools query executions (happening parallelly on other threads), to make sure that when the queries are executed, the facts are always in a consistent state

Given that the application only uses queries (and no rules), I wonder if there is a need to notify the engine of the fact changes (e.g. workingMemory.update(...) etc.).

Could someone confirm that?

Thank you,
Andras
