[rules-users] Why are my auto focus agenda group rules with high salience not executed right away?

I have a ruleflow with several rule task and a couple of sub-flows. I also have many rules in a "maintenance" agenda group with auto-focus and salience 100 (highest of all my rules) without a ruleflow-group. The purpose of these maintenance rules is to jump in anywhere across the ruleflow as needed to perform...well...maintenance tasks. I guess I made the assumption that these rules would immediately execute (on the spot), ahead of any other rules due to their high salience and auto focus when activated. I see however a case where a rule causes one of these maintenance rules to activate, but before it is executed, the ruleflow task is first deactivated, then several subsequent ruleflow tasks activate and deactivate (all empty, size = 0) and then my maintenance rule fires ahead of the next scheduled ruleflow group rules. Is there anything I can do to get the maintenance rule to execute right after the rule that activated it and before the ruleflow task deactivates? -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Why-are-my-auto-focus...
