[rules-users] Stop Processing Rules

All, I have a situation where I want the rules execution to stop processing immediately when it encounters a situation like the following: rule "Invalid RTV Line" salience 100 when rtvDetailLine : DetailLine(detailRtvNumber:rtvNumber != null, lineNumber != null ) rtvHeader : RtvHeader( rtvNumber != detailRtvNumber ) then logger.debug("Invalid RTV Line"); throw new RuntimeException("Invalid RTV Line"); end Basically this is a parent child relationship and under some circumstances the process that feeds data into the rules it corrupts this relationship. I want to stop the rules process immediately and do nothing further. As you see above, my first attempt is just throw a runtime exception that is caught/ logged and report by the calling program. Does this seem like a reasonable approach or is there a better approach to do this? Ron
