Re: [rules-users] Insert and Retract from drools server in one call?

Sorry for my terminology; I'm a noob, but I think I understand your suggestion. By "initial" facts, I just mean the facts that I insert within my batchexecution command. In reality, I am adding a pojo to that batchexecutioncommand and then my rules check the pojo's attributes. I don't want that pojo to remain in memory; however, there are new facts that are created (RHS) by the rules that are fired and I want those to remain in working memory.

If I understand your response, you are suggesting one approach is to add a rule with a really low salience that will trigger whenever it sees the bean and retract it after the other rules have fired. Something like: rule retractInitialFact salience -100 when $mp:MyPojoBean then retract($mp) Is that correct?

I have been trying to avoid using salience (I feel like I read that somewhere).

However, is that the most common way to do what I am trying to do? There is no way in the batch execution command to add a "retract" as the last command?
