[rules-users] Heap and scheduled Activations

Hi everyone, I've wrote that rule: rule "COMPTEUR" duration 10000 when $alarme : Alarm (); then $alarme.increment(); update($alarme); end Using JProfile, I've noticed that PropagationContextImpl was constantly growing in the heap. Then, I looked the scheduled activations and saw that some scheduledExecutionTime was expired. So, I wrote this code to purge the expired activations: Activation[] activations = session.getAgenda().getScheduledActivations(); long now = (new Date()).getTime(); for(int i=0;i<activations.length;i++){ if( now > ((org.drools.common.ScheduledAgendaItem)activations[i]).scheduledExecutionTime()){ activations[i].remove(); } } Now, the heap isn't growing anymore but what are the consequences of doing something like that? So far, there are no noticeable regression on my application. Thanks for your help. Dav.
