Hello all,

I am new to drools.  My company is looking into switching from a commercial rule engine to drools.  Our existing codebase is .net not Java.  We are trying to integrate drools into our existing .net application by calling into a drools-server using it’s restful interface. 

Our current rule engine only works in a stateless mode so I am trying to figure out how to get drools-server to work in a stateless mode.  I have posted before that I have been having difficulty using a stateless session with ruleflows (http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Ruleflow-not-working-with-stateless-session-in-drools-server-5-5-0-Final-td4021624.html).  I have noticed that the stateful sessions seem to work fine as far as ruleflows are concerned.  I am wondering if I can use a stateful session instead of stateless.

Our application could have 100s of unique users per minute.  The rule engine provides a unique decision for each user based on their specific data.  So, each user’s data / facts should be isolated.  There can’t be any data sharing between users, that would make the rule engine decisions invalid.  How would I configure a stateful session to work in this scenario?  Is it possible?

Thanks,

Tim S.
