Re: [rules-users] endless loop even with "no-loop"
This is I think something all of us came across while learning Drools...
So I searched for "drools loop faq" in google but nothing useful came up.
I propose to extend the "inifinite recursion" section in the faq with
the best practices for avoiding this!
My favorite way to avoid unnecessary activations is to include the
consequence among the conditions, negated:
rule
when
$object:Type(attribute!="value")
then
modify ($object) { setAttribute("value")}
end

Hi, I am working on rule and found that it is very easy to cause
endless
loop.
For example:
Rule 1 match status and update message.
Rule 2 match type and update message.
This will cause endless loop even I add "no-loop" on each rule. Is there
anyway to avoid this? for example: each rule only execute one time, or set a
maximum execute times.
rule "rule 1"
no-loop
when
m : Message( status == Message.HELLO)
then
System.out.println( "rule 1" );
m.setMessage( "update 1" );
update( m );
end
rule "rule 2"
no-loop
when
m:Message( type=="type1" )
then
System.out.println( "rule 2" );
m.setMessage( "update 2" );
update( m );
end
