Re: [rules-users] Drools Fusion: expiration

This quote is from the current version of "Fusion": "The above example declares an expiration offset of 30 minutes for StockTick events. After that time, assuming no rule still needs the event, the engine will expire and remove the event from the session automatically." The catch is, as you may have noticed, the clause: "assuming no rule still needs the event". Whatever this means... An educated guess for interpretation for "a rule needs an event" would be "a partially or fully completed activation of a rule holds a reference to an event". But, since the author hasn't added this explanation, it might be something else. -W On 28/05/2012, Matteo Cusmai <cusmaimatteo(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi all, > i have noticed a strange behavior, but i am not sure that i depend on > drools or depend by my bad knowledge of it. > I am using drools fusion and i have a lot of classes with role event.
